But the CDC tells us not to worry, that "This is what we do!!"
wow
How many egregious examples do we need to testify to the fact that government is good at only one thing...giving jobs to the totally incompetent. Our government is an embarrassment to its citizens.
How can they confine Ebola-exposed adults in an apartment with people who are allowed to come and go? This makes no sense, almost as if Obama was in charge.
It costs between $3k and $25k to clean a meth house. So, the question is...how much would be charged for ebola house? I noticed that none of the first dozen companies they called for the Dallas episode....would discuss the matter, no matter what the cost. Nor the one company that did accept the deal....were not acknowledging what they charged. My humble guess is that they quoted off some ridiculous price of $10k for two guys and eight hours of work each, and the county authority agreed.
This would bring me to the real topic of discussion here....just how many hazmat companies out there would even consider this and just how far can you push the pricing scheme? A typical hazmat worker makes $18 an hour. For Ebola? I doubt if anyone will discuss work like this unless you get up to $40 an hour minimum per individual. Imagine trying to clean up an entire passenger plane? Figure at least two-hundred man-hours of work.
“...Five children and an unknown number of adults share the apartment at The Ivy in Vickery Meadow in northeast Dallas.” Plus 4 adults.
They also had trouble communicating with the people who lived at the complex due to many different languages being spoken.
Now, the occupants if the “hive” refuse to obey the orders to stay in place and not to leave.
How wonderful: Prehistoric illegal animals from Africa. Illegals who refuse to comply to laws. The infected one came from Africa and had no means of support or job. They have probably infected over 100 nationwide. We are paying for their medical, rent, and food. And, best of all they live in a small containment surrounded in filth and numerous “family members” crowded in like it was in their hut in Africa.
Apparently the complex where they lived was a welfare haven for cheats too.
I would expect that Obama would come over to their house, hug everyone and reassure them that their welfare benefits and free medical care would be taken care of by him (personally) to ensure no discrimination was cause to them.
I now potentially have those germs on my hands as does the cashier..........
Does anyone find this reassuring from the article re the owner having the outside vomit power washed away?
Thompson, the county health director, said his understanding is that the owner of the apartments power-washed the vomit away.
Thompson said he has walked in the area where the vomiting occurred, and Abbigail Tumpey, a CDC spokeswoman, said there wasn’t much risk of infection unless the vomit hit someone directly.
“This is a very wimpy virus,” she said. “It doesn’t live in the environment for an extended period of time.”
One of the kids went to school? Others left their quarantined apartment? These people are jerks.
Public schools, affirmative action and PC have reduced the brain of the average gov’t beaurocrat to jello.
So, they’re trying to ID the 100 people he came in contact with. And what about the 30 people each of those 100 came in contact with, and the 30 people each of those . . . . .
Time to get serious about this, stop the flights to West Africa until this is under control.
It takes a smells like a village.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!
Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need 
a bigger cart!
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
