Not to take away anything from the medical professionals who go to Africa to help but I think these people should all be quarantined in Africa before being allowed to come back.
Selfish.
These great humanitarians seem to have this sense of entitlement (to being treated like saints) after their bouts of telescopic philanthropy, despite having made their way through plague-stricken areas. If this mandatory quarantine causes her to hesitate before embarking upon yet another quixotic trip abroad, then it will have had at least one beneficial side-effect.
I'll just betch'a she was pissesd off at first for being targeted, but being a nurse, understood and accepted her "fate".
THEN she met obola.
Now ... HE prolly dint say nuthin', but before and after briefing and debriefing ... all of a sudden .. our American medical routine is junk
Sounds like Viet Nam all over again ... boy ... we Americans are so cruel and evil killers
BTW .. America has not recovered from that malignment.
I don’t particularly like that she was inconvenienced, but public safety should be important to her in her profession.
Don’t profess to be doing good deeds for others, then get upset just because we’re trying to prevent the introduction of disease here.
Welcome to the Obola nation
Last week, Mrs BN & I took a last minute deal on a cruise. Because we had not booked 24 hours before boarding, TSA insisted on frisking. I said, "No Way, this is an 'unreasonable search' and violates my 4th Amendment Right".
Showing them my USMC O-3 Disabled Veteran ID card carried no weight with TSA.
I was having mobility problems and was using my walker, so i told them, "I more closely fit the profile of Leon Klinghoffer than that of a terrorist." (I'm two years younger than Klinghoffer was) I was ready to let my wife cruise by herself when the cruise line rep said, "Let us pat your legs from the knees down and your back & shoulders."
For my wife's sake, I agreed.
I doubt if I will fly again, even though I've managed to avoid being groped at the airport.
If she wants to complain about it, I say give her something to really complain about. Give her the bill for her 21 day quarantine that she’s forcing on the rest of us.
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...
Well, they should have told her what was going on and what would happen to her. But it is what has to happen. She may be making more of it than she needs to. I have been delayed that much by the airlines with flight delays, and no one gave timely information in that instance either. Frustrating? Yes. But all we can do is try to make improvements.
A thermal scan of the forehead would register higher than an oral thermometer. HOWEVER, if you were sweaty, it would spread Ebola. Hmm. Not sure I want my temp taken after her or anyone coming from West Africa.
What a selfish, self-centered freak. Go back to your beloved Africa. They need you there.
WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING OVER THERE, PLAYING GIN RUMMY???
If it makes you feel better, you won't be the only one.
PING!
