Is it me or are all of you starting to feel a sense of impending doom?
In before the "Nothing to See Here crowd.
Crazies.
Ain’t gonna be The Last Ship.
I wonder how the media was reporting the Spanish Influenza epidemic in 1918 .....killed like 18 million in two years. This Ebola thing so far or AIDS is nothing compared to that.
I would be willing to bet that deep in his heart, and maybe not that deep in his heart, the Obungler, if given the choice, will choose PC, and gladly put Americans at risk, rather than doing the right thing. Am I cynical or what?
Closing the borders should be the first step. If 0bama refuses, then perhaps we can finally get those worthless SOBs in congress to finally do something - they always act in THEIR best interests.
Hecky Durn.
And with a wildfire of Ebola out of control in Africa there will always be sparks flying out causing blazes somewhere else.
“We have only just begun, with white lace and promises...” Ain’t it wonderful?
“The number of Ebola cases in West Africa has been doubling about every three weeks. There is little evidence so far that the epidemic is losing momentum.”
Yep and when people are tested, a few days after being around an ebola patient (usually 7 to 10 days after), and they are NOT POSITIVE YET.... We have people running around screaming EVERYTHING IS SAFE.....
When NOTHING could be further from the truth.
Then more people get around the possible infected person, well within in the 21 day period, FURTHER ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC.
I’m astounded at how stupid some people can be. What the hell are they trying to do infect everyone?
NO ONE should be in the clear until 21 to 30 days after the fact IMO.
It is insane to allow these people to run around in the public after only a few days. That’s part of the reason why it spread like wild fire in West Africa.
Thanks for posting. Be prepared BUMP!
(who will be the 1st FReeper that gets EBOLA?)
Be prepared. Life/health BUMP!
Ebola won’t be much of a problem in the US.
It will only take a handful of cases to start a panic, as is obvious reading these threads.
And we’ll have a handful of cases soon.
The politicians will have no choice then.
If any of you are former or current military members you know how carefully your chem gear must be worn to afford protection.
The military chemical warfare gear is much more protective than any of the protective suits I’ve seen in the media, being worn by those exposed to ebola-infected persons. I know there are “level 2” and up to “level 4” protective suits, and that only a couple of medical facilities in the USA offer level 4 protection (I think one is at the CDC in Atlanta).
But the real difference is in the procedures used to remove the protective gear. Once the gear is contaminated, the military member goes through a several-step process to get the gear off. You don’t just peel it off and throw it on the ground.
In the military chem-gear it is assumed that a pinhead-sized drop of nerve gas is lethal, and stuck to your chem suit could possibly contaminate you after you’ve cleared the target area following a chemical attack. So, the procedures for removal of the gear assume the outer garments are contaminated with lethal gas or biological agents. The removal of the gear takes longer than putting it on — maybe 30 minutes of a step-by-step process.
First comes the shower, which removes the contaminants from outside the garments. This does not appear to be part of any protocols I have seen being employed by medical personnel. If this is not done, there is a significant danger of touching the contaminant during the process of peeling off the outer layers of protective garments.
After that, there is another shower after the outer gear is removed, this time after the inner garments are also removed.
I think that is a likely way some of these “protected” hot zone workers are getting the virus on their skin. They’re not decontaminating and removing the protective garments carefully enough.
