The comedy would extend to forty different agencies trying to say they were in charge of your apartment building quarantine deal. Each would drive a $40k SUV out to the site....show their weapons....present paperwork that required nineteen people to cut-and-paste....and each would have their own news media clowns to explain their management over the problem.
I think I could write a decent two-hour movie script over this....if Pauly Shore was available to be the gov’t guy in the movie.
Theatre of the Absurd, anyone ?
If you have the opportunity to work from home, TAKE IT.
What do you expect? Look who is “in charge”?
What a sick joke the government is.
**********
A very expensive sick joke. Anyone who has worked inside government has seen monumental waste and inefficiency. As a rough guide, if it costs the private sector $100 to do something then the government will pay at least $1,000 or more given all the bureaucratic overhead, the cumbersome contracting process, and outright mismanagement.
I once worked as a consultant on a large federal project that was shut down after the government spent well over 50 million dollars just planning the work. When they found out their grand plan was ill conceived and wasn’t going to succeed, they cancelled the whole thing. The federal managers that ran the project into the ground all got promoted. True story.
Um, shouldn’t these four people be isolated from each other in case one of them has it and the other three don’t?
That’s what the country has become. Absurd is the new normal. It is the rule, rather than the exception.
Tell your boss your co-worker was on the plane...then run.
Better yet
RUN and call your boss from home.
Who knows? It doesn't sound like infection is very likely, but our government and media routinely lie to us. Working from home sounds prudent.
And on a windy day. Brilliant.
Sounds like a great time for that Rotator cuff surgery...
In North Dakota.
We are being at best misled or lied to massively.
This stupid statement is like declaring you have won the football game half way into the first quarter. The incubation period is 21 days. You can’t declare even a partial victory of containment until at least 22 days after the last known exposure to an infectious person... Sept 28 + 21 days = October 19 is the end of the first round but if there are any who become sick the date moves to later.
I give you the stupid statement:
“It is contained,” Zachary Thompson told CNN’s “New Day” on Friday. The Ebola patient’s “family is being monitored. There is no outbreak. And so therefore everyone should ease their fears and allow public health officials … to respond to this issue.”
barack hussein ebola, mmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm....
That employee needs to be given 2 weeks free vacation and needs to go sit on his arse in his apartment.
NOW. Be a dick about it.
What people? They don’t exist now. Nobody knows where they went or what they are doing.
But be calm citizen, there is no outbreak, everything is under control. Just let the experts in the government do their jobs, don’t ask questions and don’t interfere. /s
I think we are well and truly screwed.
Any doubt that "the Partner" is infected? Any doubt they had SEX the first day he was back???? She's infected.
Ping.
“The period of incubation for ebola virus hemorrhagic fever is usually 5 to 18 days but may extend from 2 to 21 days depending on the type of virus that one contracts. The Ebola virus symptoms hemorrhagic disease that is generally noticed in individuals contracting the viral disease are high fever, nausea and vomiting, headache, muscular pain, malaise, inflammation of the pharynx, and diarrhea accompanied with bloody discharge, and the development of maculopapular rashes along with bleeding at other body orifices. Besides these, abdominal pain, joint pain, chest pain, coagulopathy, hiccups, low blood pressure, sclerotic arterioles, purpura, petechia are the other symptoms that are particular to the species of Zaire ebola virus and Sudan ebola virus. This kind of reference to these two particular species of virus is due to the fact that the other three species of ebola virus are either non – pathogenic to human beings or have very few cases to facilitate the detection of its symptoms.”

I’m so pissed I’d just raise hell for the hell of it but I don’t need a job either.
He probably is not infectious but who the heck knows right now? I don’t trust anyone. They are still trying to track down people who were exposed and I just heard they have not even completed the list of exposed persons. Horrible.
/s Get a temp gun and lase him on the forehead from time to time to see if he is developing a fever. /s
Don’t you have stop work authority at your plant? Wouldn’t this be a workplace hazard? What would you do if someone came to work sick? He has been exposed. Nobody knows when Duncan became infectious. If they do they damn sure are not telling us.
