A nurse working at the Ebola holding center at the Ganta Hospital prepares to enter the compounds high-risk zone by putting on protective equipment, on October 18, 2014 in Ganta, Liberia.

It is such a relief about that Ebola thing. The threat of a U.S. outbreak turned out to be overhyped. A military operation is underway to help those poor Liberians. An Ebola czar (what is his name again?) has been appointed to coordinate the U.S. government response. The growth of the disease in Africa, by some reports, seems to have slowed. On to the next crisis.

Except that this impression of control is an illusion, and a particularly dangerous one.

And I think this article preceded the news from New York.

Based on the PPE, this nurse is likely to become infected

With what the nurse is wearing, she’s doomed.

That 10,000 new cases per week will need to be raised once our troops start dropping like flies and more idiot healthcare workers go bowling and there isn’t a mandantory REAL quarantine for any and all who come to the US from the hot zone.
