A New York doctor being treated for Ebola has found another way to pass the time in a hospital isolation ward: He's playing his guitar, city health officials say.
Dr. Craig Spencer, 33, has been in isolation at Bellevue Hospital since being diagnosed with Ebola last month. He's now listed in stable condition, and city officials said he continues to improve....
The New York-based emergency room doctor had been treating Ebola patients at a Doctors Without Borders medical center in Guinea when he was infected. He arrived back in the United States on Oct. 17 and was diagnosed with Ebola and isolated on Oct. 23.
New York City is monitoring 357 people for possible Ebola, the vast majority of whom are travelers who arrived in the city within the last 21 days...

Another secret potent therapy he’s getting:
No one busts in and dismembers the medical staff, later throwing them all down into a septic tank.
REALLY WORKS WONDERS..!!

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your dead! The Dark Man cometh! Bring out your......
(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)
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...

Dr. Craig Bowling hospitalized from Oct. 23 to Nov. 5, 13 days, and he is reported ‘improved’ to a ‘stable’ condition after receiving $500K of the most advanced care?
Sounds like a sanitized talking point of an actual deteriorating condition to me. We’ll see...

Wow, he is even a coolie hipster when suffering from ebola. The trendy runs deep in this one.

Even if he is recovering, what has been the total cost? The decontamination by an ex-fellon, patient tracking, lawyers, medical transport and future rehab. I think we can safely estimate the costs are greater than one million usd.
How many patients in a cluster before our health system collapses? I keep hearing the screams of science. Of course we all know that liberal science is
Dialectical materialism.
Real science is the first mandate of medicine. Do no harm. Doing no harm is prevention of disease. Prevention of disease is preventing the spread of disease. The best method to prevent the spreading of disease is to embargo from the hot zones.
They want this disease to spread.

“How many patients in a cluster before our health system collapses?”
At one of the “Ebola Hospitals” they didn’t accept new patients and sent them elsewhere. That’s a pretty huge stress on the system I would think. I imagine there is only a certain numbe of Ebola patients that any one hospital could handle as well.

Likely. As I recall, they destroyed ipads and other electronics of previous victims. They even burned the Brantly’s house down.
