Lets blame the protocols, the moon suits, decontamination methods, the training, lack of education and on and on and on and on...

Never mind isolating these nasty diseases in their countries of origin....

That makes too much GD sense...Fly these infected and exposed all over the planet...

That’s the ticket!

I wondered if people with diseases weakening their immune systems (like TB or AIDS) were more susceptible to contracting the Ebola disease than were others. I was told in no uncertain terms that I was wrong about this on this board by a nurse. But it still makes common sense to me.

How are they going to explain this nurse contracting the disease while following CDC protocol in caring for an Obola patient? It sounds like it is air born at some point.

I can’t believe I’m still seeing cars with Obama/Biden bumper stickers, and it sure doesn’t look like anyone tried to peel them off!

The EMS system and Fire departments will be non existent. Hope your house doesn’t burn or you have a wreck.

Reverends Jesse and Al are silently hopeful this new patient is also black, thereby extending their racist rant.

I don't believe that no one else who was around Duncan is not ill.

Yes, no matter on which side of the airborne vs. direct fluid contact issue one takes, it's hard to buy that.

Fascinating article -thank you.

There’s a fine line between the MSM promoting that Ebola is not airborne and that is it transferable through droplets that are airborne.

Why the subterfuge and cover up? Coward-Pivan, methinks.

Do you live in the Dallas area?

No, but have relatives near W's house which is 3.6 miles from the hospital. But, hey, there's nothing to worry about, huh. It's going to be like that old shampoo commerical, "she tells someone, who tells someone, who tells someone" or Six Degrees to Kevin Bacon when this thing gets out of the bag. Did you see the article about the judge's wife? I'm guessing she volunteers at their daughter's elem school. Anyway the school initially told her to stop serving the students food? Initially??

“you are escorted to the Ebola ward , which could be in an outside tent.”

Segregation is not the answer. We must understand the disease and be compassionate. Help the victim and not take rash and racist judgment.

How the hell did this nurse, who has said she followed ALL procedures including wearing a protective suit, get Ebola, yet those racist family members who slept in the same house, was around him when he was up chucking all over the place, NOT get sick? Either they already knew he was sick when he arrived or they are somehow immune to this garbage..either way, the Duncan legacy continues as even in death he is putting people through hell

Yes he is totally responsible. Remember how the media falsely accused Bush for the natural disaster of Catrina? Where is the media now?

Yes his family was skirted away to some gate community.

Yeah. "Gated community".

Probably one with bench beds, caged door windows, and locked doors. Upon death, it is body bag time for bodies, bedding, and all personal items and straight to the crematorium. No fuss, no worry, no reporters.

Afterwards, the cell gets sprayed with 1:10 bleach, locked, and quarantined for 7 days until the next patient arrives. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat...

Yep, the only way to stop this is allow people to fly back and forth to West Africa! /S

Maybe that’s the plan with these Marxist overlords. The faster they destroy the entire healthcare system, the faster they will get government take over of entire healthcare system. Never let a crisis go to waste (and if no crisis..make one).

We are so screwed.

CNN’s Eliz Cohen reporting that 2nd Ebola patient in Dallas is a nurse at Texas Health, a woman who wasn’t considered high risk.

"C. And most troubling, we don’t know everything about this disease."

CORRECTION: C. And most troubling: OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, THE SO-CALLED "AUTHORITIES", THE CDC, THE TREATING HOSPITAL AND E V E R Y O N E FROM TOP TO BOTTOM IS DOING E V E R Y T H I N G IN THEIR POWER TO LIE, TO OBFUSCATE, TO TELL HALF-TRUTHS, TO KEEP THE PUBLIC AT LARGE/AMERICAN CITIZENS IN THE ABSOLUTE DARK FOR "POLITICALLY CORRECT" REASONS IN ORDER TO DENY HOW INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, LIFE-THREATENING AND EASILY INFECTIVE, SPREADABLE, AND C O N T A G I O U S EBOLA REALLY IS IN ORDER TO KEEP King Obola's American boarders OPEN to ILLEGAL ALIENS and King Obola's commercial airlines continuing to FLY in and out of highly infected AFRICAN countries carrying INFECTED people who knowingly or unknowingly are carriers of this insidious disease to America, Europe,... fill in the blank.

Oh and Obola's new CDC screening procedures AT "SELECTED" AIRPORTS include a questionnaire asking these people:

"Are you infected with Ebola, yes or no?"

Who in their right mind would believe ANYTHING ANY OF THESE PEOPLE FLYING FROM HIGHLY INFECTED AREAS HAVE TO SAY WHEN ANSWERING Obola's CDC questions?

Yea, these new Obola CDC screening procedures are totally reassuring given the fact that the first ILLEGAL ALIEN who flew to America for treatment KNEW THAT HE HAD EBOLA AND L I E D WHEN HE WAS ASKED ESSENTIALLY THE SAME QUESTIONS!

NOT!

Ebola is a level 4 pathogen. This is the protocol that USAMRID - a military research facility-uses in level 4 pathogens such as Ebola.

“Established in 1969, USAMRIID has decades of experience operating containment laboratories and has provided extensive training and consultation to other agencies setting up their own facilities. We consider safety—of our employees, our neighbors, and the surrounding community—our number one priority.

There are four levels of biological containment, ranging from Biosafety Level (BSL)-1, the lowest, to BSL-4, the highest. BSL-1 would be comparable to an open bench laboratory found in a school classroom—no special precautions would be needed. At BSL-2, USAMRIID employees wear laboratory coats and observe other basic precautions. For BSL-3 work, we require our personnel to change into scrub suits before entering the laboratory and take a complete shower before exiting. Other personal protective equipment may be required as well, depending on the tasks to be performed. BSL-4 is the highest level of containment, and employees wear positive-pressure suits commonly called “space suits” and breathe filtered air as they work. “

Pretty hypocritical. The government workers have full protection, while lying to US health care workers that an ordinary isolation gown and mask is good prevention.
Lying sacks of %$#

You bet their lying...

You can also bet there are other cases now being covertly isolated and kept from the public/press.

Bet the rent.
