Brian Sussman on KSFO SF is hammering on the fact that we have not heard anything about Duncan’s family.

[Envisioning]

Let’s say the family did practice some sort of “one room” quarantine, did he use the bathroom?

We watched a special on the doctor that was brought back. They "treated" his waste before it was even flushed down the toilet to prevent contamination of the water system.

I have not heard anyone address this concern. I would suspect the water treatment plan that serves Duncan's apartment complex has been compromised.

Anybody think that Obola will announce a newly produced stockpile of ZMapp right before the election?

No, announcing it would just prove that he and Valerie planned this more than a year ago. He'll probably just stockpile it for the elite.

[RetSignman]

We are approaching the flu season which can be spread by hands, sneezing and coughing, my question is what if someone with the common flu become infected with Ebola, is there ANY CHANCE AT ALL, that this could be the catalyst for Ebola to become airborne?

One more question, will 0 hold a national address to the country before the midterms that, out of the abundance of caution, postpone temporally the elections until this possibility is thoroughly investigated and put to rest.

I knew all those plastic gloves I’ve saved from hair coloring kits would come in handy one day.

I have them in my car now for pumping gas.

I have only read as far as your post, but doubt that original donor is O neg, because he couldn’t give it to Duncan, according to press reports.

" Brian Sussman on KSFO SF is hammering on the fact that we have not heard anything about Duncan’s family."

They be gone, just like Czar Nicholas and his family.

Brian better be careful, he might be making an unhealthy career choice himself.

I’m sure I read one story that stated he slept on every bed in the apartment. Weird as it sounds.

“No, announcing it would just prove that he and Valerie planned this more than a year ago. He’ll probably just stockpile it for the elite.”

You can bet there are several dozen doses stored in a secure area of the WhiteHouse.

Cleanup crews also discovered today that Duncan slept on every mattress in the apartment, said city spokesperson Sana Syed. They previously thought he only slept on one.

Actually the left has moved on from throwing the nurses under the bus. They’re blaming ‘for profit’ medicine now. Cutting corners to save a buck.

I’d hate to see what would happen if this (heaven forbid) got into a VA hospital. I’m sure they’d be absolutely on top of things.

Or one of the teaching hospitals associated with state run medical schools.

I called my TN congressmen to talk about Ebola..

one staff member told me that Duncan lived here and had an apartment in Dallas and went back and forth to Africa all the time..

I called him on his ijit statement and ask which TV channel etc was that on ??? He couldn’t say...

He also claimed Duncan was “sent home” from the hospital but refused to admit there was no mention of Ebola..

If this is the kind of thing our congressmen are believing or putting out we are sunk..

[Tennessee Nana]

It could already be in a VA hospital..

they will hide the Ebola patients on the cancer ward just like they did with the early AIDS patients...even though they were not veterans...

nurses were threatened with firing if they refused to tend to the AIDS patients...

I am impressed that your local govt was and is proactive. They will be noted for sensibilities.

This has spun out of control in Dallas, this fast.

[ecomcon]

If there are dozens of “hot spots” you going to fly? Send you kids to school? Walk thru the mall (or even a grocery store)?

No, No, and No.

[Sir Napsalot]

>>> There are two WHOs. The guys in the field ....

EXACTLY my point.

“The guys in the field” can do their jobs much better without the WHO baggage.

[luckystarmom]

My mom lives 3 miles from the hospital. That is the hospital she would go to in an emergency and her primary care physician has an office in the complex.

[fhayek]

That is my question. Shouldn't the primary mission of the CDC have been preparing for things like Ebola? I mean, they knew that a disease called Ebola existed. Shouldn't they have game planned a strategy that they could pull of the shelf and put into effect? It seems like they are flailing around for a coherent response. It's all right there in their name : Center for Disease Control. Control. That is what we so dearly need.

The President couldn’t get the barry-cades up fast enough to close down the national parks and veteran’s memorials during the sequester fight. If only he had acted as fast when American lives were at stake.

That nugget of wisdom bears repeating...
