You can't call the locals incompetent, if they were following the recommendations of the Feds.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS has almost killed these people.
Meanwhile the hospital’s administration are playing PR games with the local politicians and salivating about their forthcoming bonuses while telling the HR department to hire replacement caregivers.
It seems everyone involved in caring for these projectile pukers needs to go back to bandaid school. My jaws lock up trying to spit out the level of incompetence from bottom to top coming from this crowd. What the bleep did they all learn in school? I guess they are all “special” and just learned one simple-ass thing that was good enough to make a living doing. But most of us learned how to handle communicable diseases somewhere back around 4th grade in the chicken little nursery school. Every now and then I take someone to the E room and am always amazed at how many freeking people it takes to get someone patched up-—nobody there knows more than one thing. No wonder so many people can get sick off one hurler.

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...
