Schumer: NY hospitals better prepared than Dallas for ebola
Capital ^ | 10/13/14 | Dan Goldberg

Posted on 10/13/2014 8:01:30 PM PDT by gop4lyf

Schumer, during his press conference near the Brooklyn Bridge where he also discussed tresspassing legislation, said he understood why many New Yorkers are concerned but said what happened in Dallas will not happen in New York City.

“While there is never a way to completely eliminate the risk of Ebola, New York City hospitals are far better equipped than was the Dallas hospital and I think New Yorkers should know that.”

He used ‘invoking’ words.

He will regret that.

The scarier thing to me is that the PPE CDC was recommending for the health care workers would leave them exposed to contagion. The description given by the hospital is woefully lacking....You need triple gloves, a full tyvek suit (not a gown), and more than just a nose mask and shield.....

In talking with daughter (a nurse who has had to deal with some nasty cases but not ebola) she is very critical of the PPEs that are ‘recommended and the manner in which hospitals set up the infectious disease unit.

What we really need to be doing is two fold: NO flights allowed from countries with outbreaks; as much medical help as possible to those countries to try and help contain the disease. What we are doing now is a joke.

That said no one is addressing the MASSIVE influx of contagious and dangerous diseases that are coming across the border with all of the third world folks carrying everything from enter viruses to TB to malaria

NY hospitals are among the best in the world, but no one knows or is telling the truth about this animal. Therefore treatment is still at its infant stages. Shumer just hasn’t been on TV for 2 days so the schmuck had to make an a-hole comment.

What is your plan for good, decent, and honorable conservatives who live in those liberal states?

This sorry, arrogant, pos, jerk has been a parasite feeding off New York and the American people for too long. I bet he won’t be riding the subway train or going to an ER anytime soon. Hypocrite and worthless, mouthpiece, nobody. Take a trip to west Africa Chucky, you worthless piece of dog crap!

Schumer can’t wait to empty out the population of his own state.

I’ve always thought Schumer represented about the lowest form of creature walking around on two legs.

Send all stricken with Ebola to NYC.

Send em all to the Big A-hole, and when it's run its course...burn it to the ground.

Yeah, people living in high density apartments buildings, riding the subway to work, rats and mice ruling the night.
Yep, 0bola is not going to happen in NYC

It sounds like he’s trying to camouflage some wishful thinking: “If a health worker strictly adheres to health protocols, the chances of infection are next to none.” with some of that NY NY chutzpah most of us groan at, as when Texans start talking size, etc.
But what’s he s’posed to say? “Forget ‘protocol.’ It doesn’t matter if you’re hermetically sealed in a ‘Gumby’ Mylar/Kevlar zip lock bag. And in the next room. The chances are pretty good, we’re sorry to say, that you’re going to get sick.”
People would be afraid to go to their jobs at the hospital.
But yeah, I think it’s a pretty lousy thing to do, to blame the victim, and aren’t Democrats always groaning about such things? So it’s insensitive, too, Chuck.

Once again, the past six years have shown that liberals believe whatever they wish to be true is true, rather than dealing with facts and reality. A president Obama will bring peace to the world simply because he is Barack Obama. A New York hospital is fully prepared for Ebola simply because Chucky ‘thinks’ they are better prepared. No sense of reality whatsoever.

Now he pops his Mr. Smithers head up.

Famous last words Chucky. All it takes is for the hospital staff to spit the bit, and you are looking at the biggest clusterbangy since Pompeii.

New York City hospitals are far better equipped than was the Dallas hospital and I think New Yorkers should know that.

Attention Medical Centers all across the great USA!

Mister Schumer has just volunteered NYC as the best place for your ebola patients.

The rest of the country will gladly allow the NE to deal with it.

While perhaps true, that statement was idiotic nonetheless.
