I have seen those hospitals. Impressive.
I have to wonder what sort of assistance the CDC is sending over with the 50 personnel they’re sending. Hopefully good stuff.
While I do NOT support more aid to AFrica because it’s usually squandered in corruption, stopping an epidemic like this is in our best interests.
I’m a cynic and suspect the whole driving force behind bringing them here was to secure funding for Emory and a publication stream for the attendings.
You are so right.
You’re welcome!
Carson is wrong. Flat out wrong.
Ebola has an incubation period of 21 days. Some strains have a 24 day incubation period.
Anyone can travel anywhere else in the world in 21 days, multiple places, and then end up in the United States before they show symptoms.
Ebola is coming to the United States. We can gain experience in treating these few American patients under the best conditions possible, allowing us to learn how to treat it. Or we can panic and fly blind when it gets here.
Carson wants the infectious disease specialists to fly blind. That is cowardly and short-sighted.
That “MD” after his name doesn’t stand for “Minor Deity”. He doesn’t know everything, and he isn’t an infectious disease specialist.
