Every second case means over 100 more potential cases. Obola needs to be impeached for importing this killer virus to the nation!
Inadequate followup.
Abdication of responsibility.
OK, I hereby order you to stay indoors.
(I'm not making fun of these rightfully worried people who may have contracted a frighteningly deadly disease, rather I'm expressing my gratitude that we finally have competent leadership in the White House during a potentially devastating crisis. Wait, wut?)
The daughter is the one who called for an ambulance for Duncan. She gave the guy tea and wrapped him in a blanket. She had touched him after he was showing signs. Why she isn’t under a more strict quarantine is beyond me. CDC allegedly allowed her and her husband to go out grocery shopping before they were stuck in their apartment.
No one seems to be in charge of who’s doing what.

I can’t believe what I am reading. The CDC are absolute idiots.

Anyone who trusts the federal government are idiots. Start making plans people. The federales will NOT help you
It’s like the keystone cops, but not funny. I think that the County health department is supposed to be the one implementing protocols, and the CDC is supposed act in an advisory role, but I don’t know for sure.
If she had contact with Duncan on the 24th when he supposedly first showed symptoms, then this is the 9th day, so they very well could already be experiencing symptoms.
If I was her, me or my family was not feeling well, I’d probably call the ambulance and quit waiting on the “authorities”. The earlier the treatment, the better the chances of survival, it appears.
Didn’t see the CDC and the Feds rushing to the airport and flying to Texas to help out on the cluster f—k that they caused. Notice the patient and possible infectees are not in the CDC approved hospital in Atlanta.
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
The CBS rent-a-doc, Dr. LaPoop, was upset this morning because on the blog he visited no one believed him and made fun of his name (I hope it was Free Republic so he can read this).
LaPoop spewed out the CDC story line, word for word, as the CDC had the day before. Gems like “You could shake hands with an Ebola patient and if you didn’t have a cut on your hand, you couldn’t get Ebola”. “You can only get it if you get the virus in a mucus area (like your eyes, nose, mouth)”. “The virus is not transmitted through airborne means and you cannot get it that way”.
Just after his tirade, they did a feature about the cameraman, for rent-a-doc Dr. Nancy Schneiderman, who contracted Ebola. The cameraman is being sent back to Nebraska for treatment and the rest of the team quarantined. Now we have to assume that the cameraman did not stand idly by and just take pictures and contract the disease through airborne contamination but either handled Ebola patient feces with a cut on his hands or gathered some patient mucus and looked at it very closely, sniffed it and tasted it to contract Ebola while Dr. Schneiderman watched.
LaPoop stated that people were panicing because they did not believe him, other experts or the CDC. I don’t think panic is in order, but with their track record, I won’t put much faith in their news briefs either. Besides, John Kerry-Heinz stated that Climate Change causes Ebola; so if we stop burning coal, sit in the cold dark homes, Ebola will go away,.
cdc’s been told to let this turn into an epidemic. they’re actng like idiots here. this is amateur hour and these people aren’t amateurs. yes they don’t follow protocols 100%, and that’s enough to cause problems, but this is standing down altogether. this ain’t passing the smell test.

Bring Out Your Dead
We’re gonna need 
a bigger cart!
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...
Quarantines are so nineteenth century. This is the 21st century, man.
