"that can't happen here"
"There is no reason to secure our borders, or stop flights from West Africa..."
Yup, so far it’s spreading just like it did in Africa...medical people get it first. The medical system gets overwhelmed/depleted and then it’s a wildfire.
And right now in Liberia doctors and nurses are saying "FTS!" and getting the hell outta Dodge, leaving patients to fend for themselves. And many of these fleeing health care workers are likely already infected and don't even know it yet.
Wait just a darn minute there - I thought the hospital put him outside next to the medical waste bin and left him there to dive because he was “black” - that’s what the right Reverend Jessie Jagoff said - what gives?
This bothers me because a couple of family members work in the hospital industry in DFW. In Ft Worth, but too close for comfort.
The "Boston Blobe" ??
Cheers!
I heard that number, 70, earlier and can’t believe it. How stupid are these people? You want the least number of people necessary to be in contact.
How is it the CDC does not have the medical records (the basis for crafting new protocols) and The Boston Globe does? Paging Dr. Frieden...the imbecile in charge of new protocols.
From what I know (and I could be wrong by now), Nigeria is holding up, but they’ve lost some good people.

I hope Jesse Jackoff observes that many of those workers risking their lives are white.
“I heard that number, 70, earlier and cant believe it. How stupid are these people? You want the least number of people necessary to be in contact.”
As explained on another website, this represents days off, different shifts, different departments, etc...
In a Union Hospital, you aren’t going to get 24/7 coverage with just one or two people.
Do these people (CDC) even realize how that sounds? Lord, helps us...
Isn’t Texas Health Pres in Dallas a sister hospital to Texas Health Harris hospital in FW? I think many doctors go back and forth. Scary.
That’s something else that worries me. When my brother was in the ICU for a few weeks, near death last year*, one thing that bothered me was the way that nurses were rotated. It seemed that rather than keep a relative few caring for him, who would then have more consistent interaction with him, and more “hands on experience” with his case, the hospital rotated through so many we could not keep track of them. And, more often than not, if we had a question, the nurse did not know, would have to go check with someone or something, etc. The caregivers all seemed very compassionate and caring, and they did pull my brother through, but, well, it was disturbing, and frustrating for the family.
Later, when my brother was in rehab, he pretty much had the same nurses and other caregivers seeing him from day to day.
At any rate, my brother was not deadly infectious. In the case of a deadly infectious disease, having a large number of people in contact with the patient just seems nuts...
“I heard that number, 70, earlier and cant believe it. How stupid are these people? You want the least number of people necessary to be in contact.”
They must’ve believed the administration that there was no risk.
If they have no clue what protocol was breached, how can they insure it won’t happen again?
Wasn’t there a Monty Python skit like that?
70 people paid by who?! Close the $&!# borders and quarantine Africa.
Oh the new hospitalist way is to assign “teams”, that way you spread out the risk of malpractice between 70 different people, see.
Just like it is never recognized that white people put themselves on the line for the civil rights of blacks, it won’t be recognized that white people cared for dying black people either.
This is evidence that many more people were exposed and more Ebola cases to come. Who chose Texas for this?
