To state that “two nurses infect themselves” is a poor choice of words, and your response clearly shows that it is just based on assumptions-not direct knowledge of these people or investigation of the situation.

Very poor on your part to use those words in that fashion. I would expect better from someone who claims that everything they say can be proven in fact.

Let's put it this way. Acting as if the nurses were doing everything right, and Ebola is some supernatural entity that will get people regardless of what they do means that absolutely nothing will be done to correct the situation that led to the nurses infecting themselves in the first place.

It is obvious that they were not adequately trained--someone posted that they "had read the CDC recommendations", as if that constitutes proper training (it does not). I don't know about the hospital environment, but I can guarantee that in the lab, no one touches a single piece of equipment until they have trained and demonstrated adequate mastery.

I'll bet just about anything that when those nurses sue that hospital, first and foremost in their claim will be the lack of proper training. It is inexcusable how that hospital messed things up--first, by sending an extremely ill man home, which possibly led to his death--second, by not making sure that proper infection control measures were implemented until after a definitive diagnosis and the CDC showed up, leading to the secondary infections of two nurses. That hospital is going to be hammered in the courts, when the lawsuits come pouring in.

Now there you go again. Exaggerating and making assumptions.

What I said was that your choice of words(two nurses infected themselves)was poor.

Your first response tried to justify this and indicated assumptions made by you-not facts. The facts have yet to be established, so you made assumptions-not very scientific, and you also used a poor choice of words.

Nor is it very scientific to exaggerate and mischaracterize statements of others. I never said that these nurses did everything right, and I sure as H#ll didn't say anything about Ebola being some supernatural entity.

All I said was that your choice of words was poor. To that you have now replied with several assumptions and incorrect statements, but have at least acknowledged now, that the hospital and PPE provided by the hospital might have played a part.

The nurses were infected-not doubt of that. All the details of exactly how and why is not yet proved, but your post was that “two nurses infect themselves

That was a poor choice of words and not a proved fact at all.

Your last two paragraphs are full of assumptions, and some may eventually be established as true(perhaps in court as you said), but they are still assumptions at this point. You even used the phrase, "I'll bet just about anything..."

I would expect better of someone who claims to post only things that have been proved by scientific and learned studies. It erodes your credibility.
