Call Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn..
theyre her constitutes..
Oh, goodie! They have nothing to fear, especially when Ebola-infected Liberians crowd around to watch them building a clinic.
First one to contract Ebola and dies ..... who’s responsible?
I am assuming that these are volunteer troops. Has anyone heard?
Seems reasonable...
Hash tags to fight the mohammadens and the Airborne to do humanitarian work. Okay, got it.
Can I ask why we are sending the military to Africa to deal with Ebola?
I’m all in favor of humanitarian aid and medical aid and all that. But should the military be involved in such an effort, that’s the question I wonder about. Is our military set up to do this; do they have expertise and training in dealing with disease epidemics??
Do we even HAVE a hot-weather variety of MOPP gear ???
Back in the day (1980s), with protective gear, it was a choice between the agent and heat stroke.
I remember that the “time of effective consciousness” in Aviator CBW gear was between 90 and 120 minutes. . .
“They don’t need the whole suit – as such – because they’re not going to be in contact with any of the people,” the commander of U.S. troops in Africa said."
Yet, they trained using them...
"Wearing a hooded chemical suit, breathing mask and two layers of gloves,Pvt. Antwon Phillips raised his arms as an instructor showed him how to scrub and spray with leach in case of exposure to Ebola."
...during the paltry 4 hours of training!
"The military did not publish a memo outlining Ebola protection guidelines until Oct. 16."
Notice also, back on October 17, 2014
This president uses the excuse that such a ban would cripple the humanitarian effort going into the hot zone as well as going out - which we all know is not true. I wouldn't put it past this admin to refuse to ban flights out of the hot zone until full Ebola focused deployment is complete.
Why would they be wearing the gear you wear when treating patients?
Parents will be buying them for their soldiers, like they had to buy flack jacs.
Luke 11:46! Should be the theme for midterms. A rooftop in Benghazi.. An Ebola endemic zone. I guess they will golf and watch soldiers rot from the inside out.
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...
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Maybe the CDC could go over with them and show them they have nothing to fear... we’ll give the CDC guys a bottle of hand sanitizer...
