Dr. Brantly WALKED Into Emory University Hospital in Atlanta—

They don't even have to cross the border. Just get themselves infected and then stand on the Mexican side of the fence and cough on everyone that goes by or hand out water bottles with spit in them. Just let the illegal "immigrants" carry it over the fence. Then our government will gladly ship them all over the country before we even know they have been infected.
This is what is bound to happen now that we have no borders.
Around here if you’re put into an ambulance for anything you enter the ER via gurney or wheel chair even if you’re ambulatory.
Precisely.
I copped a ride to the ER once after a fall (I was pg). Even though I was totally ambulatory I wasn’t given a choice in the matter. Legal reasons and such I was told.
Actually you are the one screaming like a woman.
He is a U.S. doctor who got sick on a Christian mission, he needs to be treated here.
It is also good that he will bring his experience and symptoms, and hoped for recovery to the containment unit that has been set up at the hospital for Ebola.
This doctor is about the best patient we could hope for to have our people get hands on experience in our own setting.
“You must be a woman.”
No I am a Christian who has seen what Samaritan’s Purse has done for people world-wide, including a lot of people in this country when there are natural disasters.
LOL Ansel!
This might be the first time that I actually have some agreement with you.....lol
Apparently with Ebola the definitions of grave and critical are applied somewhat differently.
***********************
All very confusing. Dr. Brantley & Writebol are said to be in “grave” condition ..... Samaritan’s Purse, day before yesterday or yesterday was talking about being grateful Dr. Brantley and Writebol “made it through the night”. I find it somewhat incredulous to think he “walked” into the hospital. I saw the pic - could easily have been Emory staff.
“Actually you are the one screaming like a woman.”
You got me.
Christian doctor without sense to pour piss out of a boot. What has he done, even once, do demonstrate that he can be trusted to act responsibly?
The status of his soul has nothing to do with his state of dumbassery.
I couldn’t disagree with you more. This doctor, no matter what his motivation was, knew the risks. This has been going on long enough in west Africa that the Samaritan Purse, WHO, or anyone else who wanted to help could have set up a Quarantined medical center and poured their resources into that place. To intentionally jump the disease to unaffected continents is the height of irresponsibility, and we will likely all live to regret this action.
I’m actually more concerned about THIS:
According to Shawn Moran, the vice president and spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council, scabies and lice are the two main infestations that his agents come across. He adds that chicken pox, measles, H1N1 and tuberculosis are also pretty common. Really, he says they see a whole gamut of diseases and that’s what his men are most concerned with.
“Would you just have had him shot, then have the body burned?”
Nope, he should have been treated in his beloved Africa. Sent the supplies over there and treat his silly ass. If he survives,, leave the gear over there and never bring it back. We have an Ebola free nation. Welll,,, we did at least. The monkey eaters and their BFFs are bringing it in for us.
Don’t be so fast to believe doctors and CDC on how this disease is transmitted. Think back through the years and remember how wrong they have been on issues. Some new research...
There is often a stiff price for being a do-gooder.
This virus, while deadly, can be controlled easily, just like any other when outside the human or animal host so there is no reason to fear from the decontamination procedures they are employing, just because it is ebola.
In Africa, it spreads largely because of African or tribal social customs. Time and time again, unexplained deaths are misdiagnosed as flu or old age, or something else. Their burial customs require a lot of direct contact with the body and this results in a spread of the disease to others locations.
That’s not going to happen here.
While dangerous, it’s no more dangerous in terms of spreading than any other virus that is spread by contact and some hospitals are ideally suited for treatment of these kinds of bugs.
Frankly, I don’t see a reason to react as some have.

I agree. I am a medical technologist so I understand the way various diseases are transmitted. With Ebola, there is no danger to the public unless they are directly exposed to his blood or body fluids. Unless he was hemorrhaging as he walked into the hospital, that is unlikely to happen.
JMHO based having visited a friend hospitalized at Emory U Hospital
What makes you think he doesn’t know the risks?
Do you think that we are incapable of treating a doctor with Ebola?
He makes the perfect patient for our domestic teams to learn what they can, it is fantasy to think that keeping it out of U.S. borders 100%, with zero penetration, is realistic, and that his coming home is the act that is going to kill us all.

The question isn’t’ ‘airborne’. The only question is the size of droplet required to do the job.
