A team of 50 people worked with Duncan. The size of the team could be part of the problem.

She looks like a very nice person. Prayers for her, her family, her bf and her dog.

Prayers up.

I have a daughter who is a nurse and is about her age.
Hefting patients out of bed to change their bedpans and dressing is a young person’s game.

My MIL - RN and Masters in nursing says it would take a team of around 100 per patient to do the job correctly and effectively. Factor that into the equations on this disease.

She also believes that they should designate hospitals with the needed equipment and staff that have experience and more extensive training in these kinds of diseases as Ebola treatment centers. She does not believe that most hospitals have either the facilities, staff or the ability to train staff adequately.

The usual rules don’t apply—that’s part of the problem. Bring them to a hospital, let 50 people treat each one . . . we have to think differently about this. Trolleyology.
