and there you have it....
World Health Organisation’s European regional director says it is “unavoidable” that many more cases of Ebola will occur in Europe
one thing that scares me is....with Ebola, we are coming up to flu and cold and cough season.....you mix that in with infected out there and we are going to have problems.
Oh, by the way, when the nurse’s aide felt sick, she went and sat in the urgent care clinic of her local general hospital (not the bigger hospital that she worked at) for 4 hours - surrounded by other patients, having her temperature taken, etc. - until finally she mentioned to the medical staff that she had been in contact with an ebola patient.
She was immediately put in isolation and then sent back to the other hospital, but nobody understands why she didn’t go there right off, as soon as she felt even slightly sick. Instead, she went out and exposed large numbers of people and health care professionals to the disease.
I heard an interview with the nurses, and they’re pretty nervous, understandably.
Ah, human stupidity. The most effective vector...
