DALLAS — More than a week after a Liberian man fell ill with Ebola and four days after he was placed in isolation at a hospital in Dallas, the apartment where he was staying with four other people had not been cleaned and the sheets and dirty towels he used while sick remained in the home, health officials acknowledged on Thursday afternoon.
Even as the authorities were reaching out to at least 80 people who may have had contact — either directly or indirectly — with the patient, Thomas E. Duncan, while he was contagious, they were scrambling to find medical workers to safely clean the apartment.
Health officials visited the Dallas apartment on Thursday where Thomas E. Duncan, the Ebola patient, had been staying.
The four family members who are living there are among a handful who have been directed by the authorities to remain in isolation, following what officials said was a failure to comply with an order to stay home. Texas health officials hand-delivered orders to residents of the apartment requiring them not to leave their home and not to allow any visitors inside until their roughly three-week incubation periods have passed...

Suuuure. It was thoroughly cleaned, bio hazard cleaned, in that one hour between the end of the school day and this hitting the local 5:00 pm news on Tuesday. The reporterette, reported the story with a straight face in front of one of the schools.
Notice the pictured school sign isn't in English.

I called it yesterday they wouldn't voluntarily stay inside and sure enough. Hmm, someone slipped that there are "a handful" of others who are to be in isolation. Where are these other people?
The apartments I lived in in Biloxi were not up to that standard. You can guess who the majority of the occupants were without any clues from me.
The same reason the New Orleans/Louisiana Katrina “victims” didn’t for the most part? Whereas most of the Mississippi Katrina survivors did. Any idea what I’m talking about?
When my kids were in school and I volunteered/substitute taught/student teaching, the amount of disgusting boogers (under the tables, desks, and chairs) and feces smeared on the wall in the boys bathrooms was disgusting, and only a janitorial staff of two. (to clean up a school of 600 kids everyday) I’m not holding my breath. Even if they cleaned it well ONCE, the next day there is more and on and on.
Probably not a nurse. ER Admitting is too often an affirmative action job, because its not even a full step above jail attendant.
Had to carry Better Half to ER and even at our “Good Hospital”, ER was like a zoo and the ER Admitting person checking in had a completely unconcerned attitude.
The one at Presbyterian ER probably thought he meant he had been at the library.
One year here, the boys kept squirting the restroom dispenser soap everywhere. You get one guess what the brilliant school officials did. They took out all soap from the boys restroom. Nearly the entire year. That year, teachers had two or three hand sanitizers in their rooms at all times. IDIOTS!
Doubtful they’ll get the chance.
UGH!
Dallas is a third world country now!
“IDIOTS”???? How dare you! They are “educators”. :)
Why not? They carry everything else.
O-M-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, post that picture in it’s own thread.
Publik skools don’t teach Geography anymore.
LOL, sounds like typical Govt. reasoning. The girls bathroom didn’t have the feces issue, but the girls (along with the boys) would wet the tp and throw it on the ceiling. Ten years after I ate at a Nogalas, AZ KFC and then took one of my kids to the bathroom, I saw the same darn sign while I was doing my ESL practicum at the Highest percentage of ESL (migrant) children in the district. The sign (images only), said NOT to throw used toilet paper in the trash or on the floor.
Okay, I got a Florida cockroach right here, let me check...This fellow has a...
breast pocket:
ok, sunglasses, a little cockroach comb for those trouble hairs coming from it’s eyes, huh, this is odd, a Ross Perot for president button and a small vial of disinfectant, what does it say here? Use in case of contact with humans...
Right front pocket:
RoachNail clippers, tissues, a map of my trailer? Huh, only 25 cents, not bad, what is this? Looks like some eggs from breakfast
Left front pocket:
Oh, a novel, Lights Out/Party On
Right rear pocket:
Notice from Terminix, Pay bill, or we use the real stuff next time...A comic book, The Roach Ranger and his trusty sidekick, Squanto. A summons to appear in court. He apparently has not been paying for his roach motel visits
Left rear pocket:
suntan lotion, of course...Oh wow, a CD, The Killer Bees live...A photo album, his lovely wife and his...million or so children...
At least in Florida, the roaches do not carry Obola...
Probably could, on their little roachy feet.
Flies and other bugs too. On their little feetses.
I agree...that photo needs its own thread. It shows how seriously officials are taking ebola...
ROFLOL
“Hose into the storm sewers???”
Not just hosing it. Pressure washing it. That means it is being turned into a mist and blown all over creation.
