I’m not panicking.
I’m simply pointing out that the organization that’s been the MOST successful with losing the FEWEST numbers of their peeps has been MSF.
And they’re flagrantly not simply following the CDC guidelines.
For a reason.
If they were to simply use ‘mask, gloves and gown’, like the hospitals in country, they’d have lost as many of their people as the hospitals in country who have droves of medicos dead and dying at this point.
Even the Nigerians have figured this out.
I spoke about your assertions with an infectious-disease person who just happened by looking for a co-worker. I told her how you were touting MSF over the CDC. She actually broken open in outright laughter. She let both of us know, MSF and CDC work *so* hand-in-hand, that there is a lot of crossover. MSF people are sometimes what we call 'CDC Fellows' and sometimes the CDC loans staff to MSF. There is a lot more blurring of those groups than you ever even considered.
She also advised me that the number of on-site CDC detail people in Africa will be up to 150 soon.
Should be
"I am not even an infectious disease person, and even I know that there will be different protocols for different THEATERS."
