American nurses say they need more help to deal with Ebola
The London Telegraph ^ | October 4, 2014 | Rob Crilly

Nurses in America say they are unprepared to deal with Ebola patients arriving from abroad as a growing sense of panic sweeps the US.

The warning comes after it emerged Thomas Eric Duncan, the country's first case, had told health workers he had recently been in Liberia yet was still sent home from a hospital in Texas with nothing more than painkillers and antibiotics.

However, health officials insist that American hospitals are ready for such patients and on Friday White House advisers tried to reassure the nation that an outbreak was extremely unlikely.

Lisa Monaco, Barack Obama's senior counter-terrorism adviser, said: "The United States is prepared to deal with this crisis, both at home and in the region.

"Every Ebola outbreak in the past 40 years has been stopped. We know how to do this and we will do it again."(continued)

Dealing with exploding corpses is a small price to pay for free birth control.

Just wait until flu season hits to see what a completely paralyzed nation that battens down the barricades REALLY looks like! And thank you, President Obola for your “fundamental transformation” when flu season hits! Oh, and PLEASE let’s keep those West African shuttles flying back and forth, since obviously it would do no good anyway with your open borders policy. Oh, and everyone? Be sure to vote a straight Democrat ticket in November: they really DO care about you folks, ya’ll hear? After all:

“Now, I am not on the ballot this fall,” Obama stressed. “... But make no mistake: My policies are on the ballot — every single one of them.” (Including unrestricted West African air flights.)

You have pointed to the necessity of a early warning test for Ebola before it progresses to the transmission stage. People need to be quarantined before they become a danger. This test should be administered for passengers on international flights.

For those eating animals infected by the local bat feces, that practice has to stop. This virus will never be eradicated due to its transmission to animals by bats. However, humans must find a method to avoid bat infested meat so that they avoid the contagion it brings.

OK, yesterday, according to Reuters, “We’re Not Prepared To Handle Ebola Patients”

Now that gets changed to “we need help” or whatever...

tomorrow is it “Hey, hunky dory time! No problemo!”

this is a PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY!
And I DO NOT GIVE A DAMNATION ABOUT WHAT THE CDC SAYS!

You can hear the tendons of White Hut news-bending creaking under the strain the Axelplouffes are throwing on AP , Reubens, er AL., in this battle for credibility and control of the public mind.

It doesn’t matter... I have declared a “Public Health Emergency” in the areas under my control.

I wish you could view this from a 60+ year olds perspective.

There was a time, for along duration, that we did not get news of a breaking nature for days. In the case of over seas news it was AT LEAST A WEEK.

What that did for us, was to allow the previous news to settle, and to sort it's self out. So we did not go though these gyrations like a break dancer on steroids. Slow it down..... take it all with a grain of salt, as was the saying.. The truth of it will eventually emerge.... Please, it's important that you do this. If you don't, you will be in a constant state of flux. You will never know what is true, or false as you move from crisis to crisis to crisis...to crisis to....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................etc

And besides, I wasn’t even acting hysterical or anything else, I was (re)acting to the news that one day it was “We are completely unprepared” to the next day it was “we need some help” (like someone to scrub the floor).

So do not dare to jump on me. I have a long patience.

I’m not jumping.....

Just....maybe....using a conversation, knowing that people are reading it..(because they want to...whatever me) to send a message....of hope...and faith.

So in short, I am using you...and I owe you a drink....

But I am deadly serious.
