Really trust me..

A just-concluded press conference in Dallas, featuring grim-faced officials, revealed that the anonymous worker at the hospital who came down with Ebola followed all CDC procedures, including the use of an isolation suit. Nonetheless, we were told not to worry. Yeah, right. Are they trying to convince people that we are being lied to? When they as good as admit they don’t know how to prevent infections, then telling us to be confident in their medical response accomplishes just the opposite: it spreads panic. Meanwhile, we are lectured to trust them and to keep allowing people form the plague region into the United States because their oh-so-effective measures will catch people who have a 21 day incubation period. This is just amazing. Why would anyone believe people who in effect say, “We don’t know how to prevent transmission of the disease, but trust us, and don’t worry.”

Someone sprays you down with bleach solution before you get out of that hazmat suit.
It’s part of the MSF protocol that’s seriously lacking in the CDC recommendations for our hospitals here.
It’s one reason MSF has had vanishingly few healthcare workers infected when compared to other organizations.
They don’t skimp on protection for their workers. In this case, overkill is cheaper than a million dollars per patient in treatment somewhere.
I’ve read that they go through a chlorine shower in the suit before removing it. Chlorine kills the virus immediately.
Yeah, I’d be scared sh—less.
Sh!t just not adding up! I’ve got the exact same question! Are these people sick and TPTB are covering it up to prevent panic? The children who went to school after contact are definitely vectors. Are they sick? We need some damn answers!
After restricting entry to the US, the next most important thing to do is to thoroughly depoliticize the CDC. There are some talented and committed people working there but the agency as a whole is hog tied by political concerns.
The hospital workers in the US do NOT go through a chlorine shower before removing their protective gear:

Read that and weep.
thanks for the photo. Looks like the person is protected by a shower curtain, kitchen rubber gloves, and has nothing over her head. Her hair will most assuredly pick up ebola. The virus likes furry gorillas, bats, chimps. And chumps.
They are in day 14 after their last contamination. Maybe only day 12 if you consider that the authorities left them in their apartment for two more days after Duncan was hauled off to the hospital. So they have a few more days until they can be considered very low risk, but after day 10 it was somewhat of a relief since it took 10 days for Duncan to come down with symptoms.

Click the link for pics of MSF workers garbed up to treat ebola patients.
Plus, these workers get a full bleach solution shower BEFORE they begin to take their suits off.
MSF cares about their workers and volunteers.
I'm more convinced than ever that transmission through the air is uncommon, that contact is the main route, and that the nature of nurses’ and doctors"; work PLUS the PPE gear creates a perfect situation for transmission.
That makes sense. So, the protocols need improvement. Yes, I agree with you that it is uncommon for Ebola to be transmitted by the air.
Got it from HERE.
Finally, we have put the ED on “diversion” until further notice because of limitations in staffed capacity — meaning ambulances are not currently bringing patients to our emergency department. While we are on diversion we are also using this time to further expand the margin of safety by triple-checking our full compliance with updated CDC guidelines.
Not impossible at all. Duncan walked to the ambulance. Granted he had symptoms and was shedding virus, but the nurse in the hospital was probably tasked with cleaning virus-laden fluids off his body. She would have much more exposure and all she had to do was get a little of it on her while she took off the protective suit.
The empirical evidence says they didn’t. CDC procedure aren’t some fiction, they have people that work with ebola every single day and don’t get it, they know how to protect themselves from disease. But you have to follow procedures at a level beyond religious. There’s no confessing your sins on this one.
Yeah, but Dallas is not an ocean away from me and mine.
I used to not like Dallas because of the traffic!
we wouldn’t know if the family had Ebola..
they haven’t been seen in public..
and theres already a practice and record of secrecy about who is sick and who is not..
the children of the latest victim go to school with other children but the parents don’t know they have been exposed to Ebola because nobody will tell them..
meanwhile those other children may have Ebola or be carriers..
who knows who might have been exposed or is sick already with the deadly disease...
Do you know why nurses are actually the number 1 risk group to get hepatitis C? The answer to that question is why the nurse got ebola and none of the people who interacted with the nurse did.
someone fooled the policeman that he was safe...
My employer booked me to fly into DALLAS in a few weeks. Where do I get the recommended protective gear to wear on my flight?
I agree that letting 100’s of potentially infected people in every day is criminal. Many innocent Americans will die because of that.
Really trust me..
I would be coming down with a bad case of the flu a day or two before the flight.
You couldn’t drag me onto a commercial airliner these days. Especially one flying the DFW leg!
