Her roommate has Ebola, or did you not know that?

Roommates of Duncan didn't get infected.

nine (9) doctors die from Ebola

I though most of those were local helpers and not doctors.

I probably won’t get Ebola, but unfortunately there are a lot of first responders at risk due to 150 random possibly infected immigrants coming in every day.

Lucky them, huh? Would you like to room with the net Liberian who comes here with Ebola?

How many people did Duncan infect other than the two nurses?

Wasn't that TWO too many?

So, is there like, a telegram that one receives that tells someone that they will be symptomatic in 47 hours or something? What if out on this bike ride she had become symptomatic?

This is all about Obola wanting this disease in this country to wreak havoc. What further proof does an electorate need that the man at the top does not have our best interests at heart?

Seriously? Did that person who just left the public bathroom ahead of you leave Obola behind for you to encounter? We will never know...

No, Liberians should not be let into this country, I would revoke the 13,500 visas to Ebola countries (last count that I heard). It makes no sense to let people in who can easily be incubating with no fever or even, in some cases, infectious with no fever.

Hickox isn’t an actual practicing nurse, is she? She works for the CDC as a disease detective I read...She will never treat anyone who is infected through her careless and thoughtless behavior...

Absolutely. The health care workers in the this country are being targeted by the administration. They want health care to fail so they can assert federal control which is the long term goal of Obamacare. That was supposed to be in stages, first heavy regulation of insurance companies, then federal insurance, the federal control of hospitals taking federal insurance (which is basically all hospitals). Now the Feds are going to say that hospitals need to be federally controlled to fight Ebola.

To some extent the health care industry brought this on themselves because a lot of them were in favor of Obamacare. Now they are going to get Obolacare forced on them.

No doubt about that. First responders will get infected, municipalities will shell out billions (Dallas spend over a million last time I read about it). Health care workers will be overwhelmed and put at risk. None of this is necessary if we just stopped the flow of Ebola land refugees.

I said it was the "ONE" thing in her favor. ONE. That implies many things NOT in her favor. Things we both agree on...

The type of person who goes to school for years - doctors AND nurses - then volunteer for these 'doctors without borders' possible death positions are NOT like the rest of us - more courage - more insanity...

There was a thread last week about a hospital doctor who said he knew all the CDC procedures - and his hospital was checked out and fine... he just didn't know if health care professionals would chose to risk their lives over this disease. Or if they would call in sick.. or stop practicing.

If this disease get a foothold here we're going to have to put everything on the table... didn't mean to offend.

That's what I'm concerned about more than one nurse.

Obama democrats, and liberal elites at the CDC are fighting to bring in hundreds - maybe thousands - of possible Ebola carriers. That's what will cause the disease to explode if it's going to... that's where we have to draw the line. STOP ALL FLIGHTS OUT OF AFRICAN HOT ZONES.

palmer:"I though most of those were local helpers and not doctors."

No, if you want local doctors then try this infromation
Note that this includes local doctors , and doesn't include nurses , and aides, and general Healthcare workers.

'Dr. Samadi: 230 DOCTORS Have Died from Ebola- “Still Don’t Know How They Can Possibly Get It”

I know that there was an early press release by MSF, which motivated them to change their medical protocols,
and update equipment , PPE , nitrile gloves, rubber booties ,and full bodily coverage (with hood),
and most recently recommended independent air supply.

From link:

Many students pursuing master’s degrees in public health at Johns Hopkins University went home for the holidays. Kaci Hickox went to Uganda.

She spent a month at the end of 2010 caring for yellow fever patients through Doctors Without Borders, a group she had worked with several times before. She had long been passionate about providing medical care overseas, her classmate Chelsea Solmo said.

“It was more than just a hobby or an interest,” Ms. Solmo said. “She had these skills as a nurse, and she felt she had to use them.”

For the last month, Ms. Hickox, 33, was with the group in Sierra Leone, working with Ebola patients.

”Liberals” are willing to spend our grandchildrens’ futures on “protecting the earth” from CO2 - when there is scant evidence of any likelihood that the earth needs any help - and no chance that CO2 can be prevented from growing due to the dozens of coal-fired power plants being erected in China, with more in India.

But all it takes is one unsuspected case of ebola and a little bad luck and/or a little bad faith, and it’s hard to be sure how many cases and deaths we might suffer. What if it gets into our high school locker rooms and our elementary schools???

How many health care personnel would get it? How many people would they infect? Caution is the only sensible course w/ respect to a disease for which we have no cure and only palliative treatment. But for the people who would have us all freeze in the dark in the vain hope of “saving the earth” from CO2 growth, minor inconvenience is too much to accept to minimize an actual, serious threat.

And spare us the conceit that “liberals” are the compassionate, courageous among us. They aren’t even actually liberal.

I saw it. I’m sure Christians will be on the front lines fighting against this disease... that goes without saying.

I like your tagline, I was thinking of “The rat party delenda est” for my next one.

Or just ending every post “and also F the democrats”.

Probably the most ignorant and stupid column I’ve ever seen on Townhall.
