....maybe they could chip in (no pun intended) a few bucks towards the care of the hospital workers.

*However*-- I am waiting to hear if this hospital is testing personnel in different ways than recommended, due to the crisis nature of Duncan's appearance at Presbyterian.
And the fact that the test came back positive...
West Africa’s economy is almost non existant right now because everyone is at home. It isn’t the diesase itself that will hurt the most, but the fear of it, causing an economic downturn.
I realize Ebola is a threat but whatever happened to medical confidences?
Most universities nowadays have online courses, the students could all switch to online. High school and earlier would be more difficult, but there are online schools for them too.
Yep, it’s just getting started.
And I don’t think people in this country are taking it seriously enough because they believe the tripe we’re being fed by officials. Laxness will make Dallas an ugly place to be and it could happen elsewhere at any time.
These questions are no longer hypothetical
Can anyone imagine the ramifications of all of this once flu season hits? Will pediatricians offices be protected, ERs, etc. will everyone be wearing protective suits to deal with each patient? And the extreme cost of all of this?
you know i understand totally where the CDC has been coming from. They’ve tried to avoid a panic. Imagine everyone staying home for a week or 2. the economy collapses. That being said it’s still the wrong way to go about it. Instead of speaking of caution, of vigilance they spoke of difficult to transmit and low percentages. As always the government treats people like children instead of saying the hard things that need saying.
Caution is not that hard. If somebody is diagnosed in my town, I’ll just avoid public gatherings and grocery shop somewhere else.
Also, don’t forget there’s a 14 year old being tested in NY, after returning from Sudan, with flu like symptoms.
A fish rots from the head down. So does an organization. Just as the Secret Service turned from a competent professional organization to what it is today by simply putting an incompetent political affirmative action leader at its head, so did the CDC. It is the leadership to blame, not the workers. I'm sure there are many competent, effective employees there. There are also likely to be a number of incompetent bureaucratic hacks, too, though.

Someone pointed out that in medical terms, if the virus is transferred through tiny droplets in the air this would technically not be called an "airborne virus". Airborne, in medical terms would mean that the virus has the ability to stay alive without a liquid carrier. On one hand this is a question of semantics, and the point is well taken, but keep in mind that the study did not officially determine how the virus traveled through the air, it merely established that it does travel through the air.
As far as I'm concerned, that's airborne enough to do the job. To heck with their "technicalities". This stuff is spreading far too fast to think otherwise, imho.
You’ve got a point there. I’m seriously thinking of taking that step. I already was leaning in that direction, now with Obola-sponsored Ebola... WhyTF not?
How about any other patients he/she had contact with?
“...fundamental complacency of the American people.”
You nailed it, sam!
The American people, for the most part, have become far too dependent on the idiots in government to do our thinking for us.
It really is time for us to show some strong civil disobedience and take to the streets demanding that 0bama be removed from his position immediately.
i won’t hold my breath waiting for Obama to tell her and her family to their faces how this is a small price to pay in order to keep our borders wide open.
True. And if this worker caught it, we may be seeing more workers catch it, especially if they were all following the same protocol.
They said this worker was admitted to the hospital with a fever Fri. night so it hasn’t been 48 hours yet. But then we don’t know how long the worker had the fever before being admitted and probably won’t know.
This test came back positive and we’ll have to wait to see if the CDC test does also.
