Nurse who treated colleagues: I can no longer defend my hospital

Is the hospital still all but closed down?

I suggest that everybody on this thread watch the interview with this nurse. The video is on the link to the article. Even though you can’t stomach Matt Lauer, you should watch this interview. She isn’t trying to get her 15 min. of fame, she is genuinely scared to death of what took place at this hospital.

this all goes back to Obama, and still he is defended and sounds beyond it all... if only a sink hole would appear, “know-whad-ah-mean Vern?”

She is definitely not reading from any script. She is very frightened that this could happen in such a well known hospital. The hospitals across this country are not set up for this nor have been practicing with adequate training.

Now, for my rant. I have never understood why all of these countries have not put a better effort in helping to control this virus in these poor nations. One would think that the first president from a poor region himself along with his supporters would had been all over this issue. Isn’t that what we are told liberalism is not transformational polices.

I have felt like it’s been wrong to ignore the poor of the world like this because of what is happening now. Their leaders are so corrupt which doesn’t mean you forget the people. Now, the USA, has these same kind of leaders in the government who do not let the power of the people work; it’s the power of the bureaucrats and in many other nations, they are described as warlords.

I wouldn’t say we are getting punished though it is catching up. It’s a lesson of people should turn their attitudes around to put other less fortunate first not this insane non Christian agendas that we are being made to live under by some activist judge. Black people need to wake up and get it through their stubborn heads, they are being pulled down by the white liberals and the black race baiters of a party in which they find power in.

I know of no one who is happy that poor people in these poorest of nations are dying from these viruses but it wasn’t handled properly by Obama’s government agencies to get to where we are now. He continues refusal to close off flights from those effected nations due to the power that he wants from this election. He is very immature and should do the right thing to say so and ask for experts for help / not these political puppets. Agenda first, then move backwards. Success is made by results through solutions. Wish any president would turn out for the people, not this. No wonder Americans don’t trust him. He has wasted so much time. He should be punished for what he has allowed to take place at the veterans hospitals alone.

They are wold class doctors.(sic)

Don't count on it. They work for the government, after all.

The daughter of a man I worked with became an MD and spent the bulk of her career in Infectious Diseases at the CDC - years of which were spent in Africa.

She's retired now and works for RAND in D.C. -- if I really knew her, I'd love her take on the current state of things.

Once upon a time they were. I’ve seen them in action and what they can do. It was a response to a TB exposure on a flight from Luanda. What they did was sure, swift, complete and professional.

At the end of it I was impressed and thought there may be parts of the government that work and do provide an essential service the private sector can’t.

That was in 2005 or 2006 I think.
