Flood the zone with bureaucrats. Yeah, THAT’LL help! /s
Obama has thoughts and prayers? I thought liberals generally say that their “thoughts” are with someone, but omit the “prayers” because liberals tend to be irreligious.
The genie is out of the bottle, President Obola.
Welcome to your legacy, scumbag.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
To get a good grasp of the situation and not just second hand news Obama should visit the Dallas hospital personally. In this case, the more “hands on” the better.
When seconds count, the Obama Administration is just weeks away.
Air strikes are being planned as we speak...
Katrina comparisons overdue. Bush’s fault again.
I guess my question is that if the hospital was in over its head then why didn’t they request assistance earlier? If even half the information coming out on their isolation procedures is true it’s pretty clear they didn’t have a clue on how to really handle it. If the feds are late to act then it appears to be due to equal parts incompetence on them and Texad Presbyterian Hospital.
And what happens when 100 people get Obala - will we have the resources for them?....what about 1000?
President Barack Obama announced, “We are surging resources into Dallas to examine what exactly has happened that ended up infecting the nurse there.”

Well, the strategy of “learning as you go”, the lack of protocols for a Biosafety Level 4 like Ebola, and using medical tape to cover gaps in your protective gear all had a lot to do with it, Odumbo. Read below if you aren’t sure what a Biosafety Level 4 requires .... and pray for the poor healthcare workers who aren’t getting this protection. Don’t forget what the CDC has been spending their money on: “expanding their regulatory and research reach into anti-gun screeds, anti-smoking propaganda, anti-bullying lessons, gender inequity studies and unlimited behavior modification programs that treat individual vices–personal lifestyle choices–as germs to be eradicated.” [source: Michelle Malkin http://michellemalkin.com/2014/10/14/the-centers-for-everything-but-disease-control/ ]
Biosafety level 4 (from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_level )
This level is required for work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high individual risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections, agents which cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which vaccines or other treatments are not available, such as Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, Marburg virus, Ebola virus, Lassa virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and various other hemorrhagic diseases. This level is also used for work with agents such as smallpox that are considered dangerous enough to require the additional safety measures, regardless of vaccination availability. When dealing with biological hazards at this level the use of a positive pressure personnel suit, with a segregated air supply is mandatory. The entrance and exit of a level four biolab will contain multiple showers, a vacuum room, an ultraviolet light room, and other safety precautions designed to destroy all traces of the biohazard. Multiple airlocks are employed and are electronically secured to prevent both doors from opening at the same time. All air and water service going to and coming from a biosafety level 4 (or P4) lab will undergo similar decontamination procedures to eliminate the possibility of an accidental release.
Agents with a close or identical antigenic relationship to biosafety level 4 agents are handled at this level until sufficient data are obtained either to confirm continued work at this level, or to work with them at a lower level.
Members of the laboratory staff have specific and thorough training in handling extremely hazardous infectious agents and they understand the primary and secondary containment functions of the standard and special practices, the containment equipment, and the laboratory design characteristics. They are supervised by qualified scientists who are trained and experienced in working with these agents. Access to the laboratory is strictly controlled by the laboratory director.
The facility is either in a separate building or in a controlled area within a building, which is completely isolated from all other areas of the building. A specific facility operations manual is prepared or adopted. Building protocols for preventing contamination often use negatively pressurized facilities, which, even if compromised, would severely inhibit an outbreak of aerosol pathogens.
Within work areas of the facility, all activities are confined to Class III biological safety cabinets, or Class II biological safety cabinets used with one-piece positive pressure personnel suits ventilated by a life support system.
“We are surging resources into Dallas”
Well what happens when the next outbreak is in some other city you morons.
Make that two nurses...
Sorry, I just can't help it.
The next Liberian will cause an explosion.
And how many of those surging in are military who are going to use the lessons learned from poor protocols in Dallas to protect our soldiers in Ebola infected areas?
Oh, sorry, reporters wouldn’t bother asking that question.
How about this one: What is the total patient isolation capacity in Dallas area hospitals, and what are the plans to expand that capacity or move patients out of current isolation units to increase current capacity?
Right, right, what am I thinking? That question might scare people.
You let them in, this is what you get. The Obama open border agenda-sickness continues.
Biden has come out against the surge, he’s urging a two-state solution in Dallas instead.
Then Wendy A.B. Davis can become Governor of Dallas-Texas.
