Don’t forget that it’s hard to get infected with ebola. /s

I hope they aren't black.
If they are they will get sub standard treatment and a visit from Jessie. . . . . .

....and Dallas Judge Jenkins......

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

The big man himself shopuld go to Texas, shake hands, and offer condolences to that health care worker. After all, it’s only “body fluids” that one has to worry about.

Whether they did a reasonable job of containing it once it was here and despite a comedy of errors, remains to be seen. But they failed letting it into the country in the first place.

That pic reminds of dogs that are so excited they pee themselves. I think Clay Jenkins may be doing that or something similar from the looks of that picture.

“”This is not an easy thing,” ( Elizabeth )Cohen said. “Keeping track of large numbers of people, taking their temperature twice a day, making sure they don’t ... leave town, all of that is a lot of work.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well.....Elizabeth.... Get WORKING!

Our government is lying to us, also. According to Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, Ebola virus disease: ‘...secondary infection is by direct contact with infectious blood or other body secretions or by airborne particles.’

‘Airborne particles’ are the key words in this definition. Folks need to start paying attention.

Is the address of the hospital, treating the patient, known? Don’t know if this question is important but curiousness of hospital address appears lacking. If have missed the address of the hospital, in the reports, my apology.

“People who had contact with the health care worker after symptoms emerged will be monitored based on the nature of their interactions and the potential they were exposed to the virus. “ ( From the posted dailymail.co.uk)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Will they be monitored the same way those entering the country will be? Will they fill out their own health assessment? Will they take their own temperatures? Gee! I feel sooooo much better that they are being “monitored”. /s
