The bewildering thing to me is that even if this turns out to be a false alarm, the hospitals receiving these 'possible Ebola patients' aren't suiting up their medical personnel with biohazard suits as a precaution and seriously quarantining the subjects.

They're waiting until Ebola is confirmed, THEN they'll suit up and think about making some kind of infectious diseases quarantine area.

It hasn't happened in Dallas, London, and now apparently New York City.

Seems to me that hospitals are just "Yeah, yeah"-ing the CDC even after the CDC is saying that just being in the vicinity of a patient infected with Ebola is tantamount to infection. They insist the disease is really hard to acquire, but on the other hand we have a young nurse in Dallas who was clad in a contaminated environment suit. Never mind the men in the background using flamethrowers on the infected patient's apartment building and shooting their pets.

... But someone stumbling through the door of an emergency room exhibiting symptoms of Ebola infection? Well, have them sit down in an examination room and we'll 'monitor' them until the tests come back to make sure it's the deadly Ebola virus. If the test comes back positive, we'll make the hospital personnel wear those annoying Tyvek® suits and respirators.

I suppose it'll take ten new genuine Ebola cases (and ninety more people infected from the initial patients) spread out over the whole country before hospitals start taking this seriously. Right now, it's only important to be *appearing* to take it seriously. Every hospital in the nation won't actually implement rigorous measures until they've first had their very own Ebola confirmation sitting around in the ER waiting room.

and shooting their pets.


I’ve been wondering: are dogs immune, but can catch and ‘change’ Ebola and hand it back to their owners in a more deadly configuration?

I’ve always wondered why islamopukes consider dogs unclean.
