All I know is that if there is ever a drinking game revolving around the phrase “out of an abundance of caution”, I would end up in the hospital.
more from presser..
Harp: LCI is looking into sanitizing the patients home
CMO: Can’t say if the person has kids or a family
2 nurses b/c one caring for the patient and the other watching taking on and off gear
CMO: 2 round the clock attending physicians for the patient. Trying to minimize that number. 2 individual nurses as well.
CMO and infectious disease doc: testing being done by unnamed Mass. lab, one of a small number nationwide
CMO: Ebola is not airborne. And we also don’t have confirmation that this case is Ebola
20 years a biotech analyst, covering everything under the sun in biotechnology, including containment facilities, and this picture is a complete outrage. They are not protected at all. This is a sick joke. If the students are infected, this picture is of the next victims.
Here’s a pretty good blog on the New Haven situation:

Turns out the guy had had direct contact with the Ebola-infected NBC cameraman, though a day before he was symptomatic.
CT has established more stringent guidelines for dealing with Ebola than the CDC has. Anyone returning from the region is supposed to be on home quarantine for 21 days, regardless of whether they’ve had direct Ebola patient contact.
Malloy has been an incredibly bad, tax-jacking, Dem guv. But if he continues to play this right, I could see him wriggling into reelection despite his Leftist poisoning of the state economy.
800 years ago a boat pulled into Messina and five years later 70 million people were dead.
I would think that we might have learned something in the intertim, I think not. People in those days realized that quarantine and border restrictions were the first defense.
At least he was clean, false alarm...
this time...
One , then two, then................?
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
The past is prologue.
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...
This guy has already been cleared. The Yale guy.
Pham’s boyfriend is still being monitored.
At what point do they STOP telling us how many infected so as not to cause ‘public panic’?
Congress needs to pass a law that says whomever is diagnosed with Ebola has to be immediately identified to the press by name and history.
