I’m sure if it came to this country this doctor would be PERFECTLY happy treating ebola patients at her local hospital using off the shelf PPE.

The screening is a joke, if you can call it that. If a lot of these passengers that “look or feel sickly” are cleared to go because they have “tested” negative, yet would test positive in another 24-48 hours, are those “cleared” individuals going to assume that all is well because the suit at the airport gave him/her the thumbs up? In the meantime, they go about their business walking petri dishes, and why wouldn’t they? I don’t think one has to really think too hard to see the danger here.

[Shelayne]

Exactly my thinking.

Too many heads in the sand throughout this whole outbreak.

We’ll let youth service volunteers ‘help’ with ebola patients. THAT’S the ticket!

“Albania detains illegal Eritrean immigrants with suspected Ebola symptoms”

Are the illegal FROM Eritrea or had just passed through there?

Dear Lord.

I think that the head of the CDC and all these other “experts” need to work in these situations, directly with infected and symptomatic patients in basic PPE.

Yeah, that’ll happen. Pffft.

“Exclusive: Emergency food drops eyed for quarantined Ebola region of West Africa”

That’s nice of them. How long before the area has a local cadre of strongmen who keep the food for themselves?
