Ebola in the US

[Sonya]

Not it is not, if flights had been restricted the above would not have happened. IMO Duncan has just placed a death sentence on that poor healthcare worker and everyone that healthcare worker had contact with and so on. He knew he had Ebola. I'm pretty disgusted the way things are being handled.

 

[Minimor]

Just saw that too.

 

[KanoasDestiny]

Why on earth wasn't those doctors put into quarantine and kept away from the general population? The people who initially treated him should have been placed in quarantine, then the CDC should have come in and taken over with their fancy suits, where no other hospital staff would have been affected. Then those CDC people should have been placed in quarantine. Why can normal people like you and me see the mistakes these people are making, but the people who are in charge, and should know how to contain this, don't?

 

[Minimor]

I guess because they persist in believing that it is not easily spread...and we don't believe that? I hope they soon figure it out, because now some close contact of the infected nurse is under close observation...so there is another person who may be infected....the nurse got infected treating patient zero ...and now her colleagues have to treat her...

I would like to know how they think she got infected, since she wore protective gear. Is the protection insufficient? Was she careless during removal, and touched a contaminated part of the gear? they better figure this out and keep it from happening again.

Why take unnecessary chances and expose others in our Nation to the extent we already have let alone further? I think many international flights should be grounded if we're trying to do what is best for us, vs trying not to look basically the dreaded "politically incorrect". I'd rather be right than politically correct any day of the week.

 

[Margo_C-T]

Minimor made a point that had struck home with me...this very morning some 'expert' on AM TV news reiterated the line about 'it not being airbourne' and gave an 'example of not being able to get it from as being 'when someone sneezes'....yet a sneeze SPRAYS droplets of 'body fluid'! Do they really thing WE are that stupid?? Did anyone notice that the Liberian man's family is 'blaming' the hospital, with the 'support' of the disgraced 'Reverend' Jesse Jackson? Yet, it was Mr. Duncan who lied about exposure to anyone w/ ebola in order to come to the US when HE wanted to, apparently w/o regard to possible consequences. And...news item points out that the freelance cameraman who is now in Nebraska being treated will need something like $500,000. to cover HIS medical costs...has anyone heard one word about who will be expected to pay for Mr. Duncan's costs??

 

[Jill]

Some of the they really do think we're stupid. Unfortunately, lots of us really are.

 

[vickie gee]

Yes Jill. lots of us are. Moreover, lots of us are just plain disengaged with reality. Too disengaged with reality in fact to realize that the CDC is whisking away people at the southern border that the Border Patrol detain temporarily because they have fever, nausea, diarrhea, and respiratory problems. Where are these people being taken? Who is treating them? Are they being used for experimental purposes? Are they going to be let loose eventually on purpose to cause further spread? What reasons do we have to trust the very people that insist teaching our children 2 + 2 = 5? The article the Border Patrol veteran Zack is telling about this is on Infowars. People can go there and read it if they want to or maybe just keep listening to NPR instead whilst thinking folks on the hill are really trying to keep us land of the free and home of the brave.

 

[vickie gee]

Yes Margo, we can always count on the professional race baiter "Reverend Jessie." That is all part of divide and conquer. Play the race card. Gripe about the white folk getting ZMapp works to promote it as a miracle drug. We may never know if the reason those two recovered from ebola was the drug or the blood transfusions. Let the Presstitute talk about having no more ZMapp. Let the race begin to develop a miracle serum. Woops, rather let the already in progress race before it hit the U.S. propel to high speed. Will it be the company that just paid out 3 billion in fines for bribing doctors to prescribe Paxil to children even though authorities had not approved it for age 18 and under? Will it be the company about to come out with the Rabies based ebola vaccine? Don't get me wrong, sure I believe ebola is real. Certainly I want it stopped in its tracks. I absolutely do not think ebola is a hoax, but seriously, are there areas of this that are a big hoax? Maybe hoax is not the correct word? Maybe a crock would be a better word. Yep, crock. As in a crock of bat poop. Like the open borders, the continued flights, the broken protocol. Now I read about experimental vaccines being done on cows. Wow. Cows. Something vaguely familiar there. ??? Ok gotta run. Going to hang my tin foil hat on the hat rack and add some essential oregano oil to my water. Good day, ya'll and may God bless.

Um.......... Just wanted to make sure folk understood the duplicity right in front of them.

The CDC says that "protocols were violated" by the hosp. and or nurse in treating the Liberian criminal in Texas.

You do realize that this is the same CDC that violated ALL protocols in allowing/inviting him and others here. You do realize this is the same CDC who said this would not happen. And ect...........

Now that is credibility.

If you decide to actually drink the water that you have been led to, you will first need to rappel down a cliff of dead horses that refused to drink.

It's worth the effort, the water of truth is sweet and refreshing.

Thanks for your time,

Bb

This morning we hear that an MSNBC staple correspondent is blathering that she's more concerned about "flashing blue lights" than ISIS and Ebola and that NBC'S resident medical expert, Dr. Nancy Snyderman, violated her Ebola quarantine in a quest to acquire soup. Is it any wonder so many of us are under informed? Even those who try to get the news have to hope and trust they pick one of the ever more elusive reliable sources.

 

[susanne]

It is so easy dismiss those with whom you disagree as "uninformed" or "easily led." Oftentimes they are extremely well-informed and simply disagree with you.

Bob, I am awaiting a phone call from OHSU regarding your question

 

[Jill]

Sometimes, Susanne, but in the specific current examples I outlined, we've got 1) a "news" anchor just out there enough to pretend she does not know blue lights in our Nation almost always mean help is there, and 2) a selfish media medical expert who violated an Ebala quarantine in the USA because she wanted a container of that soup she was craving.

 

[Jill]

Just saw these and felt they're a good fit for what many of us feel. You know, a picture is worth...

Very true, Jill. Stupidity knows no politics. Neither side has sole access to knowledge or lack thereof.

 

[vickie gee]

"CDC officials said there were chinks in that protection at Texas Presbyterian but they have not identified them and are investigating." CHA-*****??

 

[Jill]

I'm reading through The Drudge Report and AP this morning that as many as 70 hospital staffers were involved in caring for the patient.

 

[KanoasDestiny]

If you have someone being treated for a highly deadly viral disease, why on earth wouldn't you keep the staff attending to him at a minimal, to reduce the potential of spreading it? And then the few who did attend to him should have gone into a military type quarantine until cleared as a threat. This whole thing infuriates me. I would have demanded round the clock quarantine for myself, just so I didn't chance infecting those I love.

 

[Carriage]

Yes Miss Destiny. And I would hazard a guess to also protect those you don't know as well.

 

[Carriage]

I have redacted the name of my long time source as well. He is a very highly trained "hi speed" feller. Most of us are like trained and have maintained contact for many years now. All of us "walked away" for the same reasons and have had a very close eye on the monster since.

In the case of many of my contacts, one wonders why the gov. would invest roughly a million bucks to train folk that are "ignorant"?

As the host of family feud would say, Survey says? They wouldn't.

Redacted, I have a source, a specialist in the medical field that was dispatched to TX for the Duncan case. This person was extremely upset that proper hazmat procedures and equipment were not in place while there. I was warned that ebola has probably already started spreading because of it and to do everything I could to prepare. After seeing the news today about the nurse who has it, I know my source was right.

I was told that we are being lied to about the severity of the situation and that it can mutate and combine with flu viruses to become even more contagious. I cannot say any more about what I was told because I want to protect the identity of my source for obvious reasons. I am glad that this person cared enough about me to let me know this information. Now that friend is unreachable and I am very concerned.
