Northeast Ohio hospitals released the following information Wednesday night after a Dallas nurse traveled through Cleveland before being diagnosed with Ebola.
“Today, we learned that Cleveland Clinic and The MetroHealth System had employees – mostly nurses – aboard the Frontier flight from Dallas to Cleveland on October 10, returning from a nursing conference in Texas. That flight included the Dallas nurse who was diagnosed with Ebola when she returned to Dallas on October 13.
Both health systems have put all of our employees who were on that flight on paid leave while we will monitor their health daily. We are confident that these nurses are at low risk of exposure since we understand that the Dallas nurse did not have symptoms at the time. We have taken this measure as an extra precautionary step for our employees, patients, and visitors.
Cleveland Clinic, The MetroHealth System, and University Hospitals will be working closely together to keep our community safe and to work toward preventing the spread of the Ebola virus.”
No Jane, don’t bring up the prospect of dogs licking up barf. It is too heart-wrenching to consider the consequence that might happen or happen to all our pets, with police shooting innocent dogs, and the poor pouch of the nurse in Spain, whose dog, as far as I know, was not even tested.
For all I know, the Dallas Sewer System and perhaps water supply is now a hatching ground for young Ebola viruses, blissfully wriggling around in preparation to invade thousand’s of people’s homes via their kitchen sinks.
ADMITtedly, I don’t know how a sewer system works, but do know that ebola was traced to a dark cave in Africa decades ago. Isn’t a sewer a similar dark wet place?
It’s terrible to think about, I know.
I’m going to guess a city like Dallas has at least a tertiary system and possibly a quaternary system. Either of which would probably kill all the little Ebola viruses before they got back into the water supply.
The incompetence and ineptitude of the players in this potential tragedy is absolutely stunning.
