So you don’t think that other people in west Africa are not bailing out to other (safe) African nations? Like the guy bailed out to Dallas?

Victims traveled to Senegal and Nigeria, but the outbreaks were contained. There's been no other spread of the disease. Maybe in the future there will be, but there hasn't been to date.

I’m not going to argue with any of your points — they’re all reasonable.

What's the verdict? Can I assume all is clear?

I’ve been wondering about money and POS keyboards, along with door knobs.

___________

I said it before and I will say it again, the leftist in charge has wanted to eliminate money for a loooong time.

I could give a rats rear what their definition of airborne is, since people are dying who were around the Ebola patient who died in Dallas. Nurses are good at taking precautions, and disposing of waste....I think there is more to how you can get it than is being said.

Nurses are good at taking precautions, and disposing of waste.

Ordinary nurses have had no training whatsoever in Level 4 biocontainment and medicine. Plus these particular nurses had no Level 4 PPE or facilities at all.

We all agree that there is more to how this disease is caught than is being told by our government...such as NOW CDC says 3 ft contact can get you ebola..also Congressional Hearing got CDC to admit that cleaning the Airplanes was because the virus still lives on a dry surface for several hours.

So my point was there was a lot of ways to catch E bola and quit blaming it all on nurses...that’s all. Enough said about the nursing.

I do not care about your level or medical training ,because so far none of the medical people have been trained properly and CDC has not been truthful.

We had better brace ourselves for a Pandemic if today’s news is right.

I worry somewhat about the younger nurses but it is the same with younger people in any profession. Experiences counts for a lot.

True, but so does the advanced training now.
