Scary, unprecedented; Dallas is Ground Zero for Ebola.
We are Ground Zero now for a shattering series of firsts: The first patient diagnosed with Ebola in the United States. The first to die of the terrifying disease.
And now, with news that a nurse who helped care for Thomas Eric Duncan is positive for the virus in preliminary tests, Dallas is the site of the nation’s first documented case of Ebola transmission.
It’s scary. It’s unprecedented.
It’s also the occasion for a critical test of the relationship between citizens -- us -- and our political and medical authorities. Either we believe in truth and transparency, or we don’t.
This is a tough job for said authorities. There are highly specific protocols for dealing with diagnosed Ebola patients, but dealing with an Ebola-spooked public remains a work in progress.
Our job is to trust them, and theirs is to avoid giving us reasons not to....

Truth as engineered by obama from the top down... cannot let obama suffer any setbacks from granting Amnesty...
There will soon be some Democrat politicians up for election in obama’s face ... Obola obama is killing them ... the next 3 weeks could blow a hole in 33 Senate seats,,,
Tough job?
How so?
Cancel travel out of West Africa.
Any Health authority working for the Ob admin tells him this, then tells the public they advised him of this.
Quit, be fired, or keep working as an honest broker.
things get so complicated when people think they can lie.
That’s it.
No one knows how ebola is transmitted for sure. No one can say if or how it mutates.
Eventually we are going to have to deal with that.
And these people want to say their job is hard?
I guess it’s hard in the sense that life is tough, it’s tougher when you’re stupid.
This is a question still that has not been answered. Waiting I suppose on some Nurse or Medical professional who knows the answer.
Gird up your loins, boys and girls, for the very next thing will be a “clampdown” on the wicked & deceptive internet. It is happening right now, with “googly eyes” at the forefront, doing the heavy lifting for their overlords.
(HarveyOrgan taken down by google, with no explanation - and I am not qualified to say whether it was justified or not. They will float all kinds of bullpuckety justifications that sound reasonable, but who knows?)
The .gov can’t have all us ignorant rabble-rousing unwashed protelariat posting any info that goes counter to the approved talking points of the day.
It is just a matter of weeks before we get shut down, I am guessing.
I hope and pray that I am wrong, but old, and have way too much “generational” memory to be optimistic. We are going to have to be ready for this, for it is being planned as we sleep tonight. There is a bill in congress at this very moment, and it will probably pass, shortly after the corrupted election coming up.
It is time to prepare to hunker down, pray, and prepare as if for a really bad long lasting storm, and use Biblical wisdom and common sense.
I really love all of you, my fellow freepers, and will miss you so much when we get shut down. God bless you all, and please bless Jim Robinson for all he has done!
Have you ever supervised, lead or managed people?
Yes,
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
Pottsboro.
Have you heard about the six truckloads of incinerated remains from the Dallas apartment that are to be shipped from Port Arthur to Louisiana?
I found this comment from a cardiologist on of all places The Daily Beast, and what it is like to deal with keeping untainted, and he isn’t trained in the procedure at Emerie Hospital, which if memory serves has a bio-contaminants units.

As a doctor, I find it isn’t easy taking off all the isolation gear. If you take your gloves off first, you risk contaminating your hands using your hands to take off your gown and mask (or hood). It is hard to take off your gown while still wearing your gloves. Standard gowns and masks don’t cover your body 100%. Sounds like Ebola requires a HazMat suit. The gowns and suits do not breathe at all and are incredibly hot. You sweat profusely in them and sweat gets everywhere. In most isolation rooms you take off your isolation gear before you leave the room so you can get contaminated before you leave the room. I wish as a health professional I knew how they do it at Emory and Nebraska. Our current practices need modified. Education is not being provided and current practices are going to lead to more hospital workers being infected. I’m a cardiologist and I notice it is not routine to have disposable stethescopes in the room. How do you even wear a stethescope with a HazMat suit on? How do get a portable chest X-ray in the room without the machine being contaminated. I’ve got a million questions on how to pull everything off safely. Health care workers are not ready for Ebola - somebody better get us up to speed quickly!”
short answer, hell no.
CWII Spark Ping List!
The word ‘trust’ and this government should never appear in the same sentence. We are being lied to and the Coward-Pivan strategy continues unabated. Believe them not!
the nurse may have followed protocols. someone else may not have, but b/c they didn’t the nurse got infected.
i never took that job to trust them.
In Texas?
Perhaps it is time to use robots, not out of the questions and can be done.
I would think at this time they would call for Volunteers only. Much as the military used to do if a mission was extremely hazardous. Keep medical staff on a rotating basis and in a contained area at all times. When the first team has finished their time, quarantine them for the proper days then they can go home. And so on...
No nurse with children should EVER be ordered for that duty.
Yes, there are unions in Texas. Reminds me of my New Jersey relatives who thought that Iowa still had stage coaches, wild Indians and soddies.

I suppose she trusted Bush about the Iraq war...now the question is even more clear.

Most military nurses have children, too. Gomer Pyle and Sergeant Bilko were set in a very different time period.
