The protocol “works” in Dallas, but health worker “breaches protocol” and contracts disease.
No, of course not, because we have it under control.
Oh, wait, ‘Heroic’ Health Worker Becomes Second U.S. Ebola Case:
"A Texas health care worker who cared for Liberian Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan at a Dallas hospital has tested positive for the disease, hospital officials said Sunday. The worker became infected despite wearing full protective gear while treating Duncan, who later died from the disease, during his second visit to the hospital.
If the preliminary diagnosis is confirmed by the Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, it would be the first known case of the disease being contracted or transmitted in the U.S."
“That health care worker is a heroic person who provided care to Mr. Duncan,” Dallas Judge Clay Jenkin said at a news conference Sunday morning....

3 weeks - 4 cases
6 weeks - 8 cases
9 weeks - 16 cases
12 weeks - 32 cases
15 weeks - 64 cases
18 weeks - 128 cases
And so on. It's called a geometric progression. In one year, it's 130,000 cases. The number of cases doubles every three weeks.
What makes you think we have two parties now?
You sound like Obama...Are you Obama???
Of course she didn't have complete gear...CDC says this stuff is probably airborne...She wasn't set up for that...
I guarantee a lot of the millennial RNs will run for the hills. I wonder if lesser strains of Ebola exist similar to how cowpox was a lesser strain of small pox. I would volunteer to be enoculated if it would make me immune to Ebola in the future. An rn immune to ebola....with nearly 30 years of experience in nursing...talk about being in marketable demand!
Depends if your glass is half full or half empty.
Good catch !
Interesting to note that the current frontline troops, MSF (Medicines Sans Frontiers)has reccomended an upgrade
from N-95 masks to P-100 due to particulate matter and airborne filtration for use in the field.
The CDC in their labs while working with Bio-Hazard Level IV, use 'space suits' with positive air pressure with a 'pig-tail' for independant air supply.
Also, the CDC labs use multiple layers for redundant safety issues.
Was more like a pack of dogs than a “family”. Like how the MSM calls the woman his “fiancé” rather than his “stays there” temporary shackup.
No Dear, you did more than simply ask a question, and I quote “I would quit before I would help them”.
Pat downs are for us, not them.
HTH is used everyday when a repair crew fixes a broken water main/pipe, they toss in a handful and re-join the pipe.
For a non-trained citizen, its pretty easy to over-treat water. The link did a good job with a basic “preper” explanation.
Agree about the link info. Main thing is to keep it in airtight plastic, right? I liked the suggestion of the 5 gal (plastic) buckets with gamma lids.
Excellent information!
Even if it is over-kill, all aspects of this virus should be handled on the side of caution, i.e. travel ban from West Africa.
Not politicizing, but we all know that if we did not have a POTUS that was not using “anything black” politically, West African travel would have been temporarily shut down on the side of caution. Instead we have the CDC trying to fool us all with non-sensical almost comical claim that travel ban would slow down eradication.
Trying to overlook the “Oklahoma” aspect. What the heck is the meaning of “another county chimes in”?
My reply to you related to your “forgetting” you made a harsh statement and when confronted you act as if we imagined what your stated.
All the chlorine will outgas if left exposed to the atmosphere and you’ll end up with an almost inert powder.
Do you have the answer to my question?
I retorted to your statement “I would quit before I would help them”, which when challenged you now continually run away from like a scalded dog.
Many if not most nurses come into the career because they feel a calling to help the sick. Although there may be some that would follow your lead, most will not and will care for the sick until it kills them. It is our responsibility to give them the right tools to do their job safely.
The “Nurses Assn.” that addressed this on Sunday, primarily asking for those tools that would include a Buddy System for the nurses to decontaminate correctly.
Thanks for the ping!
