Ebola-Handling Healthcare Worker Currently On A Caribbean Cruise Ship

It's almost as if the administration is doing everything in its power to spread a panic (come to think of it, when is the last time there was any Ukraine civil war coverage, or ISIS for that matter?).

While one of the big Ebola updates overnight, in addition to Obama being open to appointing an Ebola czar - because clearly the CDC is unable to handle the epidemic, best to have one on top of it all -is that some schools in Ohio and Texas are closed today after students’ potential exposure to a nurse with Ebola furthered fears of the disease spreading, this is nothing compared to the just released revelation that a health care worker who may have handled a specimen from the Liberian man who died from Ebola in Dallas is on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.

Just in case an Ebola-infected nurse traveling coach cross country doesn't do it?

What this is making clear to me is that healthcare workers do a lot more traveling than I do!

Everyone travels more than me. I had a job where I traveled every week for a couple of years. Now I just play golf. :)

“What this is making clear to me is that healthcare workers do a lot more traveling than I do!”

One thing is for sure, they are very well paid compared to the industries hard hit by 0bamas economics.

"The hospital worker on the Carnival Magic cruise ship did not have direct contact with patient Thomas Eric Duncan, but may have had contact with his clinical specimens, authorities said. The employee, who has not been publicly identified, has not had a fever or demonstrated any symptoms of illness, authorities said. "

How much you wanna’ bet that some of this travel stuff was part of the bonus package offered to go in and take care of Duncan....an extremely high risk patient. A type of patient that most nurses would never see in their entire careers.

I am beginning to think they were bribed and now they are spending their $$$ before they die.

‘Just relax people, you can’t get ebola from sitting next to someone on a cruise ship. The nurse only had a 99.5 degree fever when she left for the Disney cruise — well within our CDC guidelines.’

Belize has more common sense to close its borders than we do!......also Jamaica

Sure am glad the government has taken over healthcare in this country. The administrators in Washington, DC, will know infinitely better how to handle this than anyone else. We are so fortunate.

fyi

[randita]

If supposedly symptom free people from west Africa are welcome to travel about the country, why shouldn’t a symptom free nurse be welcome to travel about? Just sayin’.

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

I don’t remember “The Love Boat” doing an episode on this.

"I don’t remember “The Love Boat” doing an episode on this."

Apparently you missed that episode.

Next we’ll hear that she called the CDC to find out whether she should go and they bought her the tickets.

It's almost as if the administration is doing everything in its power to spread a panic...

With all the ebola threads being posted non-stop here, "we're" helping Obama spread this irrational fear.

So everybody who has come in contact with the Liberian in any way now has ebola? But it can’t be spread that easily according to Obola???
