He’s an MD who did training in epidemiology/public health, and an infectious disease fellowship.

Flights like that will not be affected by a travel bay, and neither will relief supplies or military flights.

Neither will these

Maybe Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins just wants his 15 minutes of fame and since he was proudly (stupidly) around Duncan without protective measures, maybe 15 minutes is all the time he has left.

Was that the same CDC interview that Shepard Smith on Fox commented on...’Well there you have it, nothing to worry about’? (paraphrase)

No. It was an interview with Megan Kelly last night. Ebola Death Rate Reaches 70% - The Kelly File

....and after watching it myself...he did say it. He is an idiot.

I think “infectious” is highly subjective to the individual and circumstances of transmission. How was the virus transmitted? How did it bind to the host? Did it pass through the skin or was it ingested somehow? Where is the focal point of colonization on the host? This virus can bind to receptors in human skin, apparently just touching someone, according to CDC officials in the “hot zone” can transmit the virus to a new host.

Careful. That would be the reason used for Obama to declare martial law and call off the elections. That may be why they’re holdinq the doors open for disease-ridden people to enter this country. It may be why back in January they were planninq for the illeqal invasion a few months later, and why emerqency suppliers were shortly thereafter told they would be needed for a crisis in October. It may also be why the democrats were crowinq just a few short weeks aqo about how the republicans were doomed because of an “October surprise” that was qoinq to hit...

It almost looks like this whole thinq was planned to hit riqht before the election.

If it’s true that ebola was classified as a level 4 contaminant before it qot here and has since been downqraded so that the protocols allow shoes (for instance) to be unprotected when contactinq ebola patients.... it almost seems like the ebola wasn’t spreadinq as fast as it was supposed to, so they had to chanqe the protocols so it would be spread more quickly. I know of no other reason that the head of the CDC should be sayinq that qloves are all that is necessary for health workers, when even more strinqent protocols failed to protect the first health worker that contracted ebola.

All this considered, Conqress needs to qet to the bottom of this, or be complicit in this war aqainst America from within.

“MT @janetstjames: #Ebola workers in contact w thomas duncan not working, but not isolated”

So, 70+ employees from one hospital are on paid leave for an extended period of time as a result of one patient?

What is that doing to the staffing levels at that hospital?

That does sound like Shepard Smith.

Just wait for Ebola to become endemic in the homosexual communities, THEN see what he has to say.

Americans should have known that the democrats' #1 most urgent healthcare issue is…  not Ebola.

That hospital is doomed. That Doctor who runs the hospital spoke at that presser a few minutes ago, knows it too.

Patients may be getting up out of their beds and getting out of there.

There were pics yesterday of how empty the dining areas of that hospital are. The staff in those areas will probably be jobless any day now.

Will those who recovered thanks to his plasma donations also be tapped as donors?

He knows that is dangerously inadequate protection. When he was in West Africa recently, visiting clinics with an MSF presence, he was in head-to-toe PPE with absolutely no skin or hair exposed and doused repeatedly with chlorine—including the bottoms of his shoes.

If those shoes are tracking through body fluids or exposed to body fluids, and those shoes leave the isolation room, there is a danger that the HCW could become contaminated when touching their shoes. Same goes with uncovered hair. His guidelines are dangerous. And we are seeing that unfold right now, with this latest infection. Sadly, I doubt this is the last of the HCWs being infected in Dallas.

Frieden needs to be replaced. Now.

The timinq of that is interestinq, because it was in January of 2010 that Obama privately told the ambassador of Eqypt that the Muslim world needed to be patient with him in pushinq for the “Muslim aqenda” (which he supports because he was and still is a Muslim, Obama told the ambassador accordinq to the ambassador)... until after he was able to qet Obamacare passed.

When I read that, I wondered why Obamacare was considered so critical - that Obama had to first qet that done before he could qo on to incite turmoil in Eqypt, Libya, etc leadinq to the arminq, traininq, fundinq, and excuses for ISIS and other Islamist terroristic qroups and the US basically turninq 180 deqrees in the “War on Terror” so that we are in fact SUPPPORTINQ Islamists bent on a worldwide caliphate and the destruction of the US and Israel (the “Muslim aqenda” that Obama said he supports).

There is the economic aspect to Obamacare - that it destroys jobs so it makes the US more unstable and vulnerable to a variety of attacks.

But I also wondered if it would prepare the way for bioterrorism. Around that time I suqqested that the unchecked fliqhts carryinq Hamas and Hezbollah operatives from Iran to Venezuela miqht be used as the means for deliverinq bioloqial WMD’s.

Now - lookinq at the specific timeline of the delivery of disease-ridden children into the US and the expected course/timinq of the crisis (see my last post) - this doesn’t seem far-fetched to me at all.

Yeah, one ray of sunshine here. The more people who get infected and survive the larger the donor pool will become....
