But like other carers interviewed by Reuters, she is worried the fabric of the yellow full-body suits used to protect workers on isolation wards is too flimsy to block the virus. "Improper personal protective gear is a serious issue here," she said. World Health Organization (WHO) experts strongly deny there is any problem with the protective equipment. They point to a chronic lack of experienced staff that is forcing health workers to cut corners in the arduous daily task of decontaminating wards and treating patients.

I don't know. Just interesting on that topic.

I’ll look. In one the us doc who has it said he was swimming in sweat and the goggle were fogging up after 15 mins. He was trying to do surgery.

I actually just found some stuff on another thread and pinged you...it is soooo reassuring to think they were not properly covered up. To me at least.

It takes away the fear of the unknown. It’s not found some new terrifying way of infecting people.

Creating hiysteria is what they all do best, of coarse they are hoping it takes and spreads to a pandemic so they can quel the herd

Things just went to 11 on the Spinal-Tap amplifier....

***
What does that actually mean? I remember that there was a movie — perhaps 30 years ago — with “Spinal Tap” as/in the title, but that’s as far as I can go with this reference.

It’s a good think Obama keeps our borders open. Otherwise, some poor immigrant with Ebola might be denied the chance to tour our country for weeks, greeting thousands of Americans face to face, before finally being diagnosed and treated at our expense.

I believe it is a reference to the movie, but since I never saw it I can’t say what it is about, but maybe just guessing but I never seen a setting that stops at 11, most stop at ten so I’d say it means to the max plus one.

It was a sarcastic jab at the genius of the WHO.

Spinal Tap - "These go to eleven...." 50sec

Okay, thanks. I guess I am just too old and uncool to be up on references to movies of any sort.

Thanks, but that sound you heard was the movie reference still flying over this old lady’s head. ‘Sokay, though, as I understood the rest of the article.
