Of the countries that have had major outbreaks, none are yet in control of it. Only Nigeria and Senegal managed to stop their outbreaks when cases were <=20.
Everyone!
This mass hysteria over this disease is not warranted.
I took care of a friend, who contracted Vancomyacin resistiant MRSA.
She went through 3 treatments. Two by pic line and one by oral meds.
MRSA will absolutely kill you the same as Ebola.
I took care of her every day during this time and the MRSA ate off the ball of her femur.
Tough luck to be sure but, she needed a hip replacement anyway.
She then went on to live another 5 years taking 6-8 trips across the United States and Mexico each year and was quite active.
I and others who took care of her were careful and practiced extraordinary hygiene.
During this time we changed her bed pan using gloves and carefully washed the bowl with both bleach and alcohol.
We cleaned the toilet that we threw her waste down the same way.
We didn't share food during this time because she could transmit.
I did hug her a lot and allowed her to kiss me on the cheek, which I would always wash out of her sight.
After 1 year, she was given the clear and resumed sharing food and goofing off, as we had done 20 years before that.
MRSA and Ebola are transmitted the same way.
For those of you who think I'm being cavalier, I think I have bit more experience on this than 99.9% of the rest of you.
That is not a statement of arrogance but, of experience, pure and simple.
I'm sure many of you are familiar with MRSA but, few of you have 1st hand experience with it, as I did.
There are numerous Freepers here who will attest to my experience and they were a great resource during a time that was unbelievably taxing on me emotionally and physically.
Again, MRSA and Ebola are spread exactly the same way and both can kill you.
Stop the insanity...
