The information provided below could save your life in the event of an all-out pandemic. It will also show you how the world’s governments and health officials aren’t reacting appropriately to this crisis… and why you shouldn’t depend on them to save you.
“You can start almost anywhere on any day since the outbreak began and then see that the numbers double every three weeks. That means that by the end of December, we should be looking at 300,000-400,000 cases, again with the number doubling within three weeks and then doubling again, etc. Even the Centers for Disease Control has predicted a worst-case scenario of nearly 1.5 million cases by the end of January.
“With a death rate that is probably running at least 70% (despite other numbers you may have read, Ebola cases are vastly underreported), it won’t take 300,000 new cases of Ebola to cause most countries to shut their borders.
“This disease kills as many as 90%. Protecting the people who are trying to help has become a losing battle. About 75% of the health workers who have been fighting Ebola in Africa are dead from the disease. If Ebola gets out of hand in the United States, there aren’t enough hazmat suits to go around.
He shared his quick-and-dirty survivalist’s guide with us too:
“1. Get out of any city when there are more than 10 Ebola cases, before it’s surrounded by the National Guard.
“2. The ideal retreat is far from the madding crowd and has a water supply you can access without electrical
“3. You’ll need at least six months of food ...
You might not need to panic just yet, but it’s good to be prepared. This is a nasty virus. And if it really gets moving, things could turn ugly very quickly…

Hypothetical question.
I am a HCW and have been following “protocol” as carefully as possible and know the nurse that has come down with ebola and know she has been following “protocol”. I am now faced with two options. It is impossible to follow the protocol OR the level of PPE is not adequate.
The “Authorities” refuse to recommend increase in PPE level and will therefore blame me instead of protect me from infection.
Will I go to work tomorrow? Would you?
ebola survivors can still infect others from what I have read
I honestly don’t know if I’d go to work tomorrow or not if I were you. Once people from Ebola stricken countries have arrived in the U.S., they are free to travel anywhere so it could be spread anywhere.
LOL
Do you have family who live with you? Are you willing to die to help others?
If the answer to the first question is “yes”, the second question doesn’t matter. Do not go to work.
Where did you read that?
In an effort to stop the spread of the Ebola virus through sexual transmission, health officials are instructing male Ebola survivors to abstain from sex or to wear condoms for up to 90 days.
The virus typically takes up to 21 days to run its course through the body, but it can last in semen for up to three months, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
I'm not wise enough to have an answer for you; that's between you and your own judgment and conscience.
BTW my wife works in healthcare too, in a hospital in a city I won't name here. I expect we'll be facing the same dilemma before long.
I’ve already decided - I will NOT go to work if it comes here. And I’m staying away from crowds. Anyone know how long the virus survives on hard surfaces (non-tissue), like doorknobs, light switches, shopping carts, mail?
My young daughter lives in the Ebola area in Texas, about ten minutes from that hospital. So I should make her come home (Hawaii) if ten people get it? That will be hard but I will if I have to.
Whats PPE?
At what point do you panic?
I’m not there yet. Our gov’t is most likely lying to us so I’m just trying to keep informed.
I’m more worried about the EV-D68 (most likely brought over our southern border) because I have grandchildren in school.
Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as “PPE”, is equipment worn to minimize exposure to a variety of hazards.
There is a particular freeper that will call you a coward and in the same crown as a solder that goes AWOL in the face of deployment if you don’t show up and work. I suspect he would agree that nurses should be forced with violence or law to treat the Ebola patients. Not his problem if they are getting lied too about protocols, procedures and the like. He thinks they signed up to die while being lied too,
I can’t remember which freeper it is. He is real anal about it.
I’ll come home!
