Nurses union allegation: Preps for Ebola Presbyterian Hospital amounted to little more than an optional seminar for staff.

So now it’s a month past time to shut down flights from affected countries to the US. Tick....Tick....Tick....

I guess that would be racist, huh?

A whole nation at risk due to another foolish instance of Political Correctness.

Rock Island is corrupt, but they are not mad.

Dallas appears to be mad.

They "treated" his waste before it was even flushed down the toilet to prevent contamination of the water system

They did it because the county was going to shut off their water if they didn't.

They did not and do not believe that sanitary sewers are a risk factor for untreated body wastes from an Ebola patient, and I don't, either.

Shouldn't the primary mission of the CDC have been preparing for things like Ebola?

Nope, under the Hussien administration, the primary mission of every agency has been mooselimb outreach.....

They've only been observing this since the 70s, they need more time to get their act together. Maybe another forty years or so?

That is what they used to be called. Now they are the Center for Disinformation Control!

I think they went hot.

I also suspect we will never hear from them, or at least not until after the election.

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.

Here's an interesting explanation:

Dr. Kent Brantly, the first American flown back to the U.S. for treatment of Ebola, confirmed that account, saying he spoke with a doctor caring for Duncan and was willing to donate blood. But their blood types were incompatible, he said Friday in an interview with Abilene Christian University’s alumni magazine.

The above account on the failure to treat Duncan with convalescent plasma is alarming. The WHO has cited the use of convalescent blood or plasma to treat patients and posted a detailed 2014 report on its Ebola website entitled “Use of Convalescent Whole Blood or Plasma Collected from Patients Recovered from Ebola Virus Disease for Transfusion, as an Empirical Treatment during Outbreaks”. The report addresses ABO mismatches: When it is not possible to test the patient’s ABO group or if ABO matched CWB/CP is not available then: and recommends using whole blood if the donor is type O (universal donor) and to use plasma if the donor is type AB, A, or B (since plasma has had the blood cells removed).

Indeed, Kent Brantly was treated with convalescent antibodies from a recovered case (14M) in Liberia and he was the donor for three cases treated in Nebraska (Rick Sacra and Ashoka Mukpo) was well as the health care worker in Texas, Nina Pham. Media reports characterize one or more of these treatments as a plasma infusion, suggesting an ABO mismatch (which would preclude a whole blood transfusion, but not a plasma transfusion).

from here. I had thought he was type O- due to media reports, but the fact that he donated plasma makes that doubtful.

be careful what you wish for. once we go down that road our republic is finished. I would regard such a coup as illegitimate and a patriotic duty to resist.

Ok, I did find this, but I am not sure who to believe anymore. Sorry if I was spreading false information.

"Because of Ebola’s fragility when separated from its host, bodily fluids flushed by an infected person would not contaminate the water supply. Researchers believe Ebola survives in water for only a matter of minutes. This is because water does not provide the same environment as our bodily fluids, which have higher salt concentrations. Once in water, the host cell will take in water in an attempt to equalize the osmotic pressure, causing the cells to swell and burst, thus killing the virus."

There was one person he could not give to so is he really an O- universal donor?
