One infected person in a DHS detention center,
and a DHS who doesn't even know , or track these foreign nationals,
whose job it is to track and keep the nation safe.
Go figure !
Why we even have DHS / ICE , because they aren't even defending us, ..much less the border !!
It’s only a matter of time.
That doesn’t seem natural to me.
So you build an Ebola treatment clinic, and when you get two Americans dying of Ebola, it isn’t natural to treat them at the Ebola clinic?
By purposely bringing the first Ebola sufferers to the continent? No, I don’t think so.
Purposefully? Yeah we do that when an American doctor, or any American gets sick in primitive places.
Do you think all of our military and CDC people working with Ebola in Africa, and merely living in Africa, are being told that it is a one way trip if they get sick?
We shouldn’t. We should hire local nurses and doctors, send in all of the equipment needed, and tend to them there. That’s more or less what we do with many military and, I presume, CDC people abroad.
(I’m not for sending more Americans over to take care of them either—we’ve got good communications now anywhere, and specialists can direct the care from the U.S.)
That is sure easy to say, that we can duplicate our 4 isolation units and all the support and infrastructure in Africa, but evidently it isn’t so easy, and after trying to do that, you would make it only for Americans, or let the Africans overwhelm it?
This is what the military and the missionaries do, and any American anywhere on earth is susceptible to getting this disease or any other disease that needs American treatment, why panic so badly that you think we can’t treat people and must abandon them to what is available in Africa?
What do you think this clinic was built for twelve years ago? America and Canada work with a lot of Ebola here in the United States and Canada.
American military facilities are not open to any and all indigent, local patients. I’d set up a military facility there and yes, allow Americans to be treated.
And after the news of the last couple of weeks, I don’t feel to good about the CDC’s handling of any particularly virulent strains of anything. More government staffers doing work at government levels of quality.
A health worker, wearing personal protection gear, offers water to a woman with Ebola virus disease (EVD), at a treatment centre for infected persons in Kenema Government Hospital, in Kenema, Eastern Province, Sierra Leone in this August, 2014 handout photo provided by UNICEF August 6, 2014.
I’m not suggest any Americans get treated in those conditions. I’m suggesting the military set up a unit and then staff it locally, with oversight from specialists in the U.S. Is that so hard to understand?
We already have the Army, the CDC and civilian missionaries all treating and working on Ebola in Africa, but if one of our Americans gets it, they expect to come to our top Ebola medical facilities in the states for treatment, not to be condemned to what is available in Africa.
Seriously, if we can’t treat an Ebola victim in the U.S. then why are we working with it here, and what does that say about being able to deal with the threat of Ebola in the U.S.?
Do you think that our specialized Ebola treatment centers are where the threat is?
So Hussein flew in a boatload of em for a "summit".
The early plasma tests are unreliable. They false negative if the virus isn’t in a high enough concentration.
