Ok, two Ebola cases in the US, two screw ups. Not looking good.
CDC doesn’t know what’s going on but the Obama WH mandates that they blame the victim.
With ZERO proof.
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...
Can this O-bot bootlicker Friedman cite the precise protocol that was breeched?
Thought not.
CDC continues to be beholden to King Obama.
First, they tell us Ebola is very difficult to catch.
Then they turn right around and say that even if you’re a trained healthcare specialist wearing a hazmat suit, if you violate a protocol, you can catch it.
These people are nothing but liars.
Makes you not want to visit a hospital where Ebola cases are housed.
Hopefully, protocol was breached in this instance?
Why would I say this???
If the CDC is using the wrong protocol..., then that would confirm the Ebola is Airborne.
The caregiver who contracted Ebola was wearing using “barrier and droplet” guidelines,set by the CDC. She still contracted the virus despite this.
These protocols will not work for an AIRBORNE virus. Airborne protocols are a separate guideline that is much more protective, including respirators and specially equipped isolation rooms.
Which may explain why the Doctor looked very nervous.
Droplet protocol:
http://www.cdc.gov/hicpac/2007ip/2007ip_part3.html
III.B.2. Droplet Precautions Droplet Precautions are intended to prevent transmission of pathogens spread through close respiratory or mucous membrane contact with respiratory secretions as described in I.B.3.b. Because these pathogens do not remain infectious over long distances in a healthcare facility, special air handling and ventilation are not required to prevent droplet transmission. Infectious agents for which Droplet Precautions are indicated are found in Appendix A and include B. pertussis, influenza virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, N. meningitides, and group A streptococcus (for the first 24 hours of antimicrobial therapy). A single patient room is preferred for patients who require Droplet Precautions. When a single-patient room is not available, consultation with infection control personnel is recommended to assess the various risks associated with other patient placement options (e.g., cohorting, keeping the patient with an existing roommate). Spatial separation of > 3 feet and drawing the curtain between patient beds is especially important for patients in multi-bed rooms with infections transmitted by the droplet route. Healthcare personnel wear a mask (a respirator is not necessary) for close contact with infectious patient; the mask is generally donned upon room entry. Patients on Droplet Precautions who must be transported outside of the room should wear a mask if tolerated and follow Respiratory Hygiene/Cough Etiquette.
It’s kind of like global warming.
Rising temperatures mean global warming. Falling temperatures mean global warming.
Failed protocols mean the protocols work.
