Is Ebola about to go wild?

Are you from Ferguson, MO? Because you like some others seem to be piling on me for asking a very simple question, on which I have an opinion of what I would do if mandated to do so.

When I do not know the answer to a question, the PROPER answer is to say "I don't know, but I will find out", or if eavesdropping one does not respond.

You along with others seem to now think that Bulling is how to handle this. You are now truly making a mountain out of a mole hill.

"Scalded Dog", how pathetic a retort.

the question has still not been answered. Do you have the answer? In case you don't remember the question, it is.

Are the nurses ordered or do they volunteer?

The answer "if one knows" should be simple. Ordered? Yes/NO. Volunteer? YES/NO. Not hard if one knows, and I don't.

It is not assisting your escaping responsibility by diverting and dodging. When everyone is pointing to you, maybe, just maybe the problem lies with YOU. You are not the only one who has written something awkward and then regretted hitting POST.

One last time. Do you or do you not now continue to stand by your chickenshite statement “I would quit before I would help them”???????????? All it requires is a YES or NO.

I’ll answer your’s when you answer the main question I asked.

Mothers who are RNs or RN’s who are pregnant should not work with these patients...leave the Ebola patients to the old grizzled RNs like me whose children have grown. That also goes for enterovirus 68d which adults do get but the children fare worse with the disease I fear!

Thank-you Tilted. I am trying to do God’s work from my keyboard, as you are, trying to save lives.

I have DVR’ed the movie Contagion. I seem to remember that the samples of the virus was sent to both a level 4 lab, which was a government situation with space suits, etc., and they also sent a sample to a private lab, which had a lower contamination level protocol. When they realized how dangerous it was, they ordered the private lab to stop, because the case was too virulent. (In the movie, the private lab had access to a medium to grow the virus, that the government either did not have or did not consider, and they were able to grow the flu virus. This made it possible to start work on a vaccine.)

This just illustrates to me that only the government has the most sophisticated equipment and ability. However, it was the private sector that saved the day.

It also suggests, that the federal government reserves for itself, the higher precautions, and the lesser protocols are for those further down the line.

Is this another example of federal elitism? Could this be a political move to make less of the danger of Ebola? To what end? Why put people at risk and have both patient and caretakers die?

I think that they are trying throwing a shadow on local municipalities, hospitals, the individual states, and private endeavors, so that the federal government can swoop in and take over.

I monitor CNN and the implications is that only the powerful CDC is able enough to take care of this disease.

I think it is a mental defect with those who espouse socialism/communism is that a diffusion of suffering is what they think is equality.

Economically, they would rather have everyone in poverty and suffering, except for the political connected, than have a burgeoning middle class. Bringing down the capitalist/ bourgeois/ imperialist/industrialist structure will ensure their “workers” utopia.

It is out of the question to them that those who live in repressed countries espouse the original tenants of our Constitution and bill of Rights.

With communicable diseases, it is righteous to bring it here, they reason to themselves, so we can pay penance for what we have done, dare be advanced in our production and comforts, that the poor and oppressed of the world bring to us, by any means illegally or outrightly, and that is the cost of our salvation.

There is also racism towards the blacks in Africa too. They won’t let them have DDT to eradicate their mosquito borne malaria. The Africans are martyrs to the cause of ecology and politically correct leftism.

Also, the Christian medical teams and our military can be spared to represent our “good intentions.” They are fodder to their cause.

lulu16:" I monitor CNN and the implications is that only the powerful CDC is able enough to take care of this disease."

Your use of 'common sense' is accurate and fitting for you and your family.
CNN and MSNBC are nothing more than orafices comming out of the WHite Hut.

I borrowed the movie 'Contagion' from the library about a month ago. It is an excellent primer on what to expect from government.
"Is this another example of federal elitism?". In a word, yes,they are careful with their words, as evidenced by Friden press conferences, with chosen words
but you know based on what he says, and what he doesn't say, that he is holding back information.
Yes , you are right in your thinking.
Remember the Progressive's montra from Rham Emmanuel's statment about 'Crisis'
Can you name anything comming from this administration that wasn't a crisis that needs to be addressed now / or Yesterday ? No, me either .
This administration rules by stepping on individual civil and human rights , over-reach and crisis. Enough said !

[lulu16]

Amen!

I look forward to your insights on other threads.

Annie, obviously I am the last with enough patience to give you a final opportunity to redress. Obviously, by your continued refusal, you stand by your cold statement.

Not being a nurse, but having several in the family, including one at Presbyterian now, its unlikely anyone in authority “ordered” Staff to attend to this ebola patient. It came during their shift and those probably agreed to take the patient, which would more or less made it voluntary.
