"we have 230 of these doctors who have died over there. We still dont know how they can possibly get it. We keep saying bodily fluid, I get it. But the CDC guidelines is constantly changing.

Just think too. These are the people that “understand it” the most, and they are STILL getting infected.
Because their jobs depend upon them NOT understanding it.
Oh my gosh. Is this real? 230 doctors have died from Ebola? They are in such desperate need of doctors and they’re dying. They need every one they can get.
this supports my opinion that the ‘experts’ still don’t know the basics about this disease, and that their ignorance - and misrepresentation thereof, puts us in harms way
Ping to null and void for the Ebola threads.
If viewed as an infectious disease crisis, one can imagine that it will be handled seriously and prudently.
If viewed as a political crisis...
I still wonder if there are other Ebola infected patients in America that Obama is trying to keep hidden until after the election.
Here is the link
Once inside the link click where it says
“Dr. Samadi told Sean that “230 doctors have died from the disease” in Africa.”
And it will take you to a Forbes link that talks about it.
And think about our military in the middle.
Exam lights that patients are constantly coughing, sneezing, breathing on. They’re warm, and need to be constantly adjusted.
See tagline.
A friend of the arrogant nurse in the NE said this:
“People need to stop judging her and just appreciate the good she’s done.”
This is so quintessentially “liberal” - don’t judge them based on behavior or the harmful consequences, just on “the good” they did or intended to do.
I was writing about that yesterday, they give us this explanation that it can only be contracted through bodily fluids then they tell us the reason the nurses in Dallas got it is because their necks were exposed. Well then how the hell did they get it? Did they pick up Thomas Duncans vomit then rub it on an open wound on their necks? These people are absolutely bullsh*tting us. They got the virus because they breathed it in! It’s a virus so small one billion of them can live in a centimeter of blood, and it can live up to 6 days outside the body, so do the math. Airborne or not? Of course it is! I mean they are going to tell us with a goddamn straight face that if an Ebola victim with blood in his mouth and nose sneezed right in my face none of these viruses are going to end up in my lungs and body? Of course they are!
I doubt it. There would have been much more news about it.
I wonder if they mean healthcare workers? But there has been quite a bit of coverage that they have lost leading “experts” in ebola during this outbreak.
Brantly said he knows he got it from the consultation areas, where he would hug family members, etc. Not gowned. That he is confident he did not get it in the isolation areas.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon is quietly developing its own capability to removed infected military members (and other westerners) from the hot zone:

The blog post (and linked article) are interesting for a couple of reasons. First, the U.S. government already has a contract with Phoenix Air, which has the only medically-approved system for medevacing Ebola patients in the world, and the company can guarantee up to four flights a week for the feds, carrying a single patient on each mission.
Meanwhile, DoD is contracting for isolation pods that will fit into a C-130 or C-17, and can carry anywhere from 8-15 infected individuals. The feds wouldn’t be developing this capability unless there was an expected need, and apparently, they anticipate a number of our troops will wind up with Ebola.
There’s also a question of where infected military members would be taken for treatment. There are only 11 beds—nationwide—in the four facilities that are fully equipped to handle Ebola patients. A single planeload of military evacuees would swamp the system. I believe some would wind up at the NIH facility in Washington, and the rest would be sent to Walter Reed. I don’t believe any military hospital is better prepared for Ebola than civilian facilities, with the exception of the USAMRIID at Fort Detrick, and its a research center and not a treatment facility.
If I have to hear one more time what a good person this selfish woman (who looks like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz only without the charm) is, I’m gonna run around screaming like a headless chicken!
The Forbes links says “doctors, nurses, and other health care workers”.
