They may infect one of their own bring him to Europe, draw blood from him, store/freeze it, let him die, then bury the body. Depending on how much blood they got from Mr. Muhammad Derka, they could continuously infect hundreds.

I don’t even think it would take islamocrazies to do this.

I think any number of our own citizens would also do this for an number of reason.

People are bat sh!t crazy, man.

But onto a bigger issue. There are only ten hospitals in the US which have level-4 capability. You can figure that once you get past three-hundred patients...our system is then maxed out.”

In Seattle, the news announced a couple days ago that Harborview Hospital would be accepting Obola patients. Are they a Level 4 hospital? It is the big emergency hospital, but there are a lot of Somalis always waiting for free treatment. So I suppose we could fly in a Spanish person and then infect the Nigerians who are always there. Kind of ironic, really.

I think what is happening is DENIAL. Really, who the hell wants to admit they're infected and going to die horribly?

I shouldn't make light of the tragedy of ebola… but I will. Imagine using just the threat of it to your advantage. Walk in a dangerous neighborhood and when the thugs try to rob you, cough horribly and tell them you think you have ebola - they'll leave you alone. Got people crowding you and bumping into you? Cough horribly and say "my damn ebola is getting to me". Heck, I don't think a swat team will converge on you - nobody wants close contact with a possibly infected person.

Countries like China and Russia will not allow it to spread.

They will prevent the disease from spreading by shooting ebola victims.”

Remember how Castro stopped AIDs in Cuba by locking up all the infected in camps? And still he remains a hero to the socialists and gays just as the feminists can side with the Islamists.

Absolutely. I was also thinking about all the little 7-11s and truck-stops along the interstates. Terrorists dabbing some snot/saliva onto the door-handles of all those coolers full of drinks. Cross-country highway travelers that wind up catching and carrying and disbursing Ebola all across the country to their home destinations. Ten days, and sick people EVERYWHERE, none remotely imagining they are coming down with anything more than the initial stages of a flu, but transmitting it to their entire surroundings... small towns, big cities, remote rural communities, etc.

This is from today at Dallas' THPH with their potential second Ebola patient. They should be well practiced in Level 4 protocol. Note to the doctor/nurse's hubby - no neck hickies for the wife tonight.

CDC is not recommending level 4. Currently they recommend droplet and contact precautions, something that can be done at any hospital. Any hospital in the US that gets an Ebola patient will likely keep them.

I finished up a week in the hospital last Monday PM. Got a sense that the hospital folks are sweating this. I had Fox news playing in my room. Staff members kept slipping in to watch TV with me instead of Oprah next door.

No and neither is Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. But, hey, no worries. It's not likely Ebola will ever come to the US....

I’m not as concerned that one individual didn’t understand that she needed to cover her skin, all of it including her neck, as I am over the fact that others saw that and allowed her to go in with a patient exhibiting Ebola symptoms with skin exposed in that manner. We’re not talking individual oversight or ignorance, that’s getting systemic. Not good.

... and in the very same hospital that handled Duncan. You’d think they’d all have been drilled on suiting up. It’s very discouraging to see this stuff.

This is from a CDC training drill. The dude with the disinfectant spray might as well be those guys in the Dallas apartment parking lot.

More stupidity on parade while bringing in the NBC journalist.

What are these people thinking? They’re not. We’ve had several scares and it’s still happening?

Reminds me of a prank show that had heavily PPE suited workers working on an environmental cleanup. You would not believe how many people just walked up the work in curiosity.

Just take ten Islamo-crazies deliberately infecting themselves

They aren't that stupid. They will infect their wives then draw their blood and spread the virus with diluted blood.
