but well-prepared hospitals could prevent a widespread epidemic

Pure wishful thinking...Ivory Tower Syndrome, perhaps?

LOL. what if we quit?
Are we only able to travel to and from work?
Maybe we should just live in the hospital?
Can I go to a movie?
How about the game?
Ride my bike?

Put your rules in place and there will be no one caring for them.

Bodily fluids include sweat and we are constantly sweating. Think of your hands as transmission devices. These germs live for a while when you deposit them manually. So the idea that you have to have actual contact with a person is just not so.

From what I heard, Emory had some issues with the first two cases.

Seems like the UNMC in Omaha is the best place, but they are probably hitting the limit for cases. To many to fast causes accident.

They want them in Atlanta so that CDC bureaucrats can look like they’re “in charge”.

I think it's like small pox....the virus is deposited everywhere as an infected person moves around.

If that were the case, then a lot more West Africans would be infected by now. Small pox virus persists from months to maybe years. Ebola does 6 days at best and those were ideal conditions. That said, Ebola has not been tested a lot particularly in cold damp weather which we will soon have here. In one lab experiment they stored Ebola at 4C and it did ok (don't know how long).

My daughter is a newly graduated nurse. Nothing against this poor infected woman, but she would have been smart enough to not have done this.

Quite true. The freelancer who ended up in a Nebraska hospital with Ebola had some sort of car washing contact only as far as we know.

When I saw the 2nd nurse flew to Ohio and back, I did a little looking around. Found this article, before the most recent update: UPDATED | 3 quarantined after latest Ebola victim, relatives visited Kent State

Then went to Kent State's website and found this: Kent State University has informed its university community that the second confirmed Ebola patient, a nurse who helped care for Thomas Eric Duncan, is related to three Kent State employees.

OOPS!

“Those in close contact with Duncan pre-hospitalization went up and down from 18 to 100 to the mid-40s.

Those in close contact with Duncan post-hospitalization is at about 77, with at least 2 testing positive and the boyfriend of one also in isolation for observation.

So, roughly, that is 300 people, and that excludes the passengers on Duncan’s flights to Brussels, Dullas and Dallas. “

But we don’t need to stop the flights from West Africa. This is no problem.

Yes, she should have said no. Sadly, she didn’t realize just how much she didn’t know.

Well if it’s transmitted by bodily fluids it’s certainly not something to “f” with....

Thank you for doing that. Every message or phone calls helps.

We might yet see some sanity out of this situation.

Amber Joy Vinson is a sistah.

Maybe she hopped a plane to spread it deliberately as Reverend Jackson is shouting racism since only black folk are dieing from ebola.

Akron, home of Devo, Black Keys, and Amber Joy Vinson.
