Dallas Fire-Rescue Crew That Transported Ebola Patient Tested, Ambulance Pulled From Service

Highly probable it would be negative this early in the game...so that result is meaningless.

From someone who does this stuff for a living.

Once enough people in the EMS system are quarantined people will start dieting from a lot more than Ebola.

Just heard on local talk radio that when the ambulance crew came to pick the Liberian up, he vomited on the sidewalk on the way to the ambulance. What happened to that vomit?

Excellent post. Thank you.

DannyTN:" #3 We are at risk because our country refuses to put in place travel entrance restrictions..."
"#4 We are at risk because our country refuses to put in place travel entrance restrictions."

#3 It doesn't fit with the liberal agenda, therefore we have to bring in more bacteriological and viral illegal immigrant terrorists.
This is treason, and violation of "oath of office ".
There was a reason for Eliis Island as an immigrant reception center; prevent uncontrolled diseases from entering the country ; something _res__ent Obola forgot.
Disease prevention must be an " INCONVIENIENT TRUTH ".

#4 The only known controll of a pandemic is ISOLATION
THe U.S. Governemnt knowingly puts the American people at risk by failure to follow common sense , and the only known controll of an uncontrollable disease : QUARANTINE !
"The Most Intelligent Guy in the ROOM" is nothing more than Commie Crap ,double-talk and double-think, Bull $h*T !!

That’s funny. A Daily Mail article just yesterday said “The family of the male sufferer, who recently arrived in Texas from Liberia, could be at risk. EMTs who transported the patient were also deemed at risk but had received the all-clear today.” How could they have gotten the “all clear” when the incubation period hasn’t passed?

“What happened to that vomit?”

Shared by three house pets who went home and licked their owner’s children in the mouth before going to school where the kids shared pops with their friends.

It is contained.

THAT HOSPITAL HAS THE KISS OF DEATH.

WOULD YOU GO TO THAT ER?

WOULD YOU LET YOUR CHILD HAVE HIS TONSILS OUT THERE?

[driftdiver]

Right now I won’t go to texas.

Having worked around the people who work in the Emergency Departments in this country I can assure you that the front line people who are taking care of you do not care if you have insurance. It is not on their radar, and they don’t care.

The folks in the front office might care. The nurses doing triage and the ER docs have no idea about your insurance. They could not care less.

Hannity said on his radio show yesterday that he is going to Dallas this weekend and wouldn’t be scared to go to that hospital.

It is like a logarithmic growth phase of bacteria in a petri dish.

You mean "exponential". (Math police)

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

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...

To make matters worse, that hospital just had an ebola review! So they think they were up to speed, but failed miserably!

The Texas crisis was caused by ONE black man trying to get to the United States for top quality FREE care for Ebola...

FREE for the price of a plane ticket.

There are 4.29 million people living in Liberia and another 6.09 million people living in Sierra Leone... What are the odds 50 more people from either of these countries will figure out it's better to get FREE medical care in the United States than to stay in some African hellhole??

[Bigg Red]

I wondered about that. Thanks for clarifying.
