Okay, I'm stealing that.

I'll do my best to give you credit for coming up with it but I make no guarantees.

And the state had better get Duncan’s bill paid, as his care is sponsored by the government, before they go after these people

Remember folks!:
The CDC recommends N95 mask for Ebola that stops things 0.3 microns in size.
Ebola Is 0.08 Microns (range of size is from 0.05 to 0.3 microns).
This information needs to get out before more people can possibly be infected.

What USED TO BE on the Web page of the CDC as of 8/2/14:

“In this guidance healthcare personnel (HCP) refers all persons, paid and unpaid, working in healthcare settings who have the potential for exposure to patients and/or to infectious materials, including body substances, contaminated medical supplies and equipment, contaminated environmental surfaces, or CONTAMINATED AIR. “

Transmission of Ebola virus from pigs to non-human primates

A study conducted in 2012 showed that Ebola was able to travel between pigs and monkeys that were in separate cages and were never placed in direct contact.


My opinion, based on these articles, is that Ebola can spread via the air but only in enclosed spaces. Once outside UV rays kill it.

Chances are those people in the hospital didn’t know what they were dealin with. And without asking for it, they may very well be paying a serious price for it.

I’m not sure that fighting ebola with political correctness is good science. It’s sort of counter intuitive, like Stalin feeding the Ukraine by having all of its grain shipped to Moscow and starving 5 million people to death. Good Marxist logic.

The state health department may investigate a Dallas hospital’s handling...

Duncan’s family wants to sue. They say he did not have good care and medicine to save him.

If this guy lives ... I”m assuming he won’t get Zmapp ... But, if he lives, Duncan’s family will say he got better care because he is white.

Perhaps they should also be investigating what went right to that kept the others alive.

Seems to me a rudimentary interview with the guy should have turned up where he had been prior to becoming ill.

Perhaps the questions were answered and the guy lied, but there was a high level of concern regarding Ebola coming to the U. S. at that time.

Not very many things cause a 103.5 temperature. It would seem this guy should have been investigated more thoroughly.

Once he left the hospital for every ten people he exposed, they could have exposed ten others and on and on.

Sad to say, but that hospital is our front line of defense. It’s worthy of figuring out what went wrong, whether the institution is ultimately disciplined or not.

some points to consider..

1. Ebola man had his own cellphone.

2. Ebola man was able to operate said cell phone after he arrived in the US..there are photos.

3. Ebola man knew that he had Ebola

4. If Ebola man cared he would have called the hospital on sept 25 and told them he might have Ebola and where he should go...which should never have been an unprepared hospital like Texas Pres

5 by calling and telling all Ebola Man would have given them a heads up to protect themselves and others when he arrived if he went there

6 Ebola man chose to endanger peoples lives at the hospital by going there the first time

7. when he got to the hospital Ebola man chose to cover his own cowardly criminal butt rather than let the hospital know he had good reason to believe he might have a deadly disease...

8 Ebola man had the means and ability and motivation to travel..he could have gone to Atlanta or called that hospital for help..they already had the experience, supplies and means to help him..

9 why did he just go to a hospital that did not have the same set up for Ebola...

10 He didn’t give anyone a chance to save him..etc
