CDC says different things about what the appropriate level is, depending on whether it's a lab or clinical setting.
In their Safe Specimen Management page, they say:
What I'm saying, is that these CDC guidelines seem to be bad protocols, considering that the Spanish nurse got infected while working at Level 2, and now the Dallas nurse got infected while at Level 2.Why does CDC work with Ebola virus in a Biosafety Level 4 laboratory facility and recommends that clinical laboratories work in a Biosafety Level 2 laboratory facility?
The activities conducted in the BSL-4 laboratory (BSL-4) on Ebola virus are different from activities that would be conducted in a U.S. clinical laboratory. CDC BSL-4 laboratorians grow large volumes of virus stocks and use them for a variety of scientific purposes such as testing possible vaccines and antiviral therapeutics. Proper containment of these large volume virus stocks is critical to the safety of laboratory personnel.CDC’s recommendations to U.S. clinical laboratories for safe management of diagnostic specimens from PUI for EVD are consistent with recommendations for other known infectious diseases that are transmitted through blood or body fluids, such as HIV and hepatitis viruses. If clinical laboratories are following CDC recommendations and the OSHA bloodborne pathogens standard, they can safely manage specimens from PUI for EVD.
Additionally, CDC and international partners are able to safely manage clinical specimens of patients with known EVD in field laboratories in remote locations without modern facilities or infrastructure such as electricity, running water, or sanitation. These field laboratories are not BSL-4 facilities.
While Level 4 may not be possible, due to lack of facilities, Level 3 should definitely be prescribed.
What is smell? It is the detection of molecules in the air.
What is a virus? A collection of big molecules.
The woman trusted the “experts” and put her life on the line for another human being. And she just may have sacrificed her life. And the CDC says it’s her fault.
Baghdad Bob Frieden is a liar.
Agree, right along with the rest of our government
From what I have read it’s not only better PPE to be wearing it’s also the protocols taking off the PPE and the stages of being disinfected that are important also. My guess is this nurse may have gotten Ebola in the process of getting out of her PPE.
So what does the CDC idiot have to say about that?
I think it would be a good photo opp for Obama to be seen in the trenches taking care of those Obola patients.
Me too, in his Obola certified birthday suit.......
Yep. I said that, yesterday. He and that wacko Judge should make rounds together, at Dallas Presbyterian. Wonder how many patients - or staff - he would touch or shake hands with.
“Both those horse graphics are OUTSTANDING !”
Both are done by professional and conservative political cartoonists.
It is amazing how they blend in a few words with their graphic skills to get an important point across.
” He and that wacko Judge should make rounds together, at Dallas Presbyterian. Wonder how many patients - or staff - he would touch or shake hands with.”
If anyone gets Ebola due to that psycho so called Judge, the surviving family members might want to lawyer up or consider some other alternatives.
Hmmmm...what about her hair? Hair is exposed to virus and droplets and she’ll touch her hair to wash it......seems half-assed to me.....
Nina Pham (on the left) is the nurse who got Obola.
The Breach in Protocol was done the second Duncan got on that flight to the US.
Hair, upper chest and other areas could be Ebola targets.
typical of obamas administration.
Naw, the Earth will simply be demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass...
She wasn't in a full bodysuit? Then the protocols are inadequate. Who's fault is that?
That shower-curtain thingy in the photo wouldn’t withstand an invasion of ants, much less a virus. If Nurse Pham dies, her relatives should sue the CDC and Obama.
Duncan’s family have no symptoms
That we know of.
There hasn’t been any news about their health status.
News is being quarantined here....
Abclily, thanks for the info from the Med dictionary!
All y’all, ping to this info!
