Ebola virus: British aid worker’s diary reveals horror as six nurses die from killer bug
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ebola-virus-british-aid-workers-3956692
Read the article — nurses were completely covered from head to toe, with no skin exposed and they still caught it and died.
So how is it a good idea to bring it to the US deliberately?
This article puts to rest that suddenly Africa is advanced with medical procedures and conditions in regards to Ebola.
I don’t think it mentions though the religious problems and Africans being told to avoid the white medical people.

Cloward-Piven all the way.
That does it, I am canceling my vacation to Africa.
Ping... (I only saw 9, not 10)
In the final stage the body goes into convulsions, rigid and jerking back and forth (preceding this stage, a zombie-like state) then severe bleeding from the noise and anus.
The virus is a predator and is basically liquidating your innards, with the intestines sloughing-off their linings, untii you are bled-out enough that you become comatose and then die.
Lovely, huh?
What I don’t get is how the Dr.s interviewed here act like there in no worry of an Ebola threat in the US. If there is no known cure and high mortality rate, I’d be damn worried. Also now knowing it can be spread from animals to humans is another concern. I have no idea why that Dr.Bernie Seigel on Fox is really downplaying this, but he is assuming people will go to the Dr. the first sign of a fever and I know myself, I’d only go if after 3 weeks I felt like I was dying. By then I would probably be too far gone to treat and god knows how many people I will have unknowingly infected. How they say this isn’t a very contagious disease when it is transmitted like any other disease through bodily fluids or mucous membranes. Basically if someone sneezes in your face that has Ebola, you have a good chance of getting Ebola. If someone coughed and then with the hand the mouth covered touched a doorknob and then you use the same door with a cut or bruise on your hand, you may now have Ebola. Forget about fast food or restaurants as who knows what you cant see and who or who is not sick preparing the food you will be eating. Be vigilant.
It seems like everyone is downplaying it.
If those health workers could get it while covered literally completely from head to toe, how much easier it is to get it for people who aren’t protected at all.
Bringing the disease to the US is the pinnacle of irresponsibility.
From everything I hear the doctor and nurse could have gotten excellent care where they were, there is nothing additional they can get here, while putting the entire country at risk.
but according to the news (even Fox included) they say these are the best quarantine locations in the US.
Can mosquitos transmit it?
That’s Ok, Africa will be coming to you.
It doesn’t say that. She specifically stated that when she goes into the ward that she puts on a the full gear. She also says that nurses she met that died were infected before they realized that they were dealing with an Ebola outbreak.
The could NOT get it being properly covered, the woman specifically writes in her journal that 6 nurses that she met had died were exposed to the virus BEFORE the hospital there realized it was Ebola.
But I am sure the doctor and nurse from the US who caught it were very careful and got it anyway.
I can’t tell you how safe I feel with Oblunder in charge.
I think that they also contracted before they realized they had a full blown Ebola epidemic on their hands. But it doesn’t specifically say.
No.
0bama has a pen and a phone and the Ebola viruses are shaking in their boots.
No, you aren’t sure what all the days and moments and fatigue and wear and tear on work clothes of their work in Africa was for them, on the front lines of Ebola and Africa.
