What this is making clear to me is that healthcare workers do a lot more traveling than I do!

"The hospital worker on the Carnival Magic cruise ship did not have direct contact with patient Thomas Eric Duncan, but may have had contact with his clinical specimens, authorities said. The employee, who has not been publicly identified, has not had a fever or demonstrated any symptoms of illness, authorities said. "

‘Just relax people, you can’t get ebola from sitting next to someone on a cruise ship. The nurse only had a 99.5 degree fever when she left for the Disney cruise — well within our CDC guidelines.’

Sure am glad the government has taken over healthcare in this country. The administrators in Washington, DC, will know infinitely better how to handle this than anyone else. We are so fortunate.

If supposedly symptom free people from west Africa are welcome to travel about the country, why shouldn’t a symptom free nurse be welcome to travel about? Just sayin’.

Bring Out Your Dead

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...

Next we’ll hear that she called the CDC to find out whether she should go and they bought her the tickets.

It's almost as if the administration is doing everything in its power to spread a panic...

With all the ebola threads being posted non-stop here, "we're" helping Obama spread this irrational fear.

So everybody who has come in contact with the Liberian in any way now has ebola? But it can’t be spread that easily according to Obola???

This is ridiculous. I suppose the virus was able to bore little holes through the sample container in order to infect a lab worker?

I think that a lot of people perceive viruses as some sort of malignant supernatural entity, rather than a biological organism that basically is subject to the same laws of physics as all other organisms.

I should hope a lab worker is not working in the lab without any PPE.
