CDC Issues Ebola Checklist: 'Now is the time to prepare'

Washington Examiner ^ | September 15, 2014 | Paul Bedard

[scouter]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warning hospitals and doctors that “now is the time to prepare,” has issued a six-page Ebola “checklist” to help healthcare workers quickly determine if patients are infected.

While the CDC does not believe that there are new cases of Ebola in the United States, the assumption in the checklist is that it is only a matter of time before the virus hits home.

I was under the impression that Miami patient came in on regular air line. The first test came up negative for Ebola. I’m not sure if the second test results have been reported.

Remember: With one, comes the other.

To those who are willing, Repent. Get Saved Now, if you are not already. Jesus is coming soon, and we cannot endure what’s coming if we are NOT under the “hedge” of His Protection. Love conquers ALL.

Well, the death rate will likely be much lower......until the hospitals fill.

It might actually be a good idea if it crops up to purposefully infect yourself and immediately go to the hospital. That way, you get treated before hospitals are overloaded, and likely survive. But you won’t be in the hospital when they are setting up tents outside.

That or either don’t go outside until it has burnt through the population. So I hope you have lots of food, water, and ammo.

Thankfully, the possible case in Miami was negative.

Dead bodies are the most contagious. Do you know what “cultural burial tradition” is a significant factor in spreading Ebola?

Muslim tradition.

I went to a specialist at a large university hospital last week, and out front at the admissions desk, they had a questionnaire regarding Ebola.

Yes, open and eat. Canned goods don’t “need” to be cooked and taste just fine without being heated. Set them out in the sunshine pr on the car dashboard if your family “wants” them hot. Tuna tastes fine straight from the can.

Be wary of the tuna pouches, soups in paper boxes and those that have foil tops for long term storage because they likely won’t hold up as well as all metal cans. Even then, keep a close eye on the all metal cans because they are being made thinner these days so are easily dented. I had to throw out six dog food cans recently because they were brown and dried out when I opened them. The cans looked fine, no dents but they were so thin I could bend them with my fingers. There has also been a few cans of people food I’ve thrown out over the last few months without opening because their lids seemed a bit poppy. Before this, I haven’t had a can go bad for probably 20 years.

I’ve tried talking to an elderly neighbor about just preparing for a natural disaster or our frequent power outages and have given her little emergency bags to which she rolls her eyes and soon eats. Never mind she grew up during the Depression so should know better. Anyway, she told me last week she saw a woman in the store who kept climbing the shelves to get every last little individual potted meat cans. She asked her what she was doing and the woman only said she liked them. Surprise, light bulb moment! My neighbor put two and two together that the woman was prepping. Of course, dear neighbor still hasn’t done anything for herself.

Thank you for the Woot.com link.

I have never been to that site.

I found the copy to be clever and humorous, which is about90% of my focus, the other 10% being bargains/sales.

Maybe I should re-evaluate my priorities!

You are in good company. My primary care physician said the same thing.

Obama keeps dem immigrants rollin’ right on in!

No health checks needed!

I don’t even trust those pouches for weekly use. LOL I too have pitched some cans due to poppy lids. Mostly when I didn’t have as big a storage space.

I had a 2ft. wide pantry in the kitchen, and stuff would get shoved to the back and missed. Rotation was kinda haphazard. Now I have 30 linear feet of floor to ceiling storage, so most everything can be grouped together and seen at a glance.

I really don’t understand why any one who lives in an area prone to power outages, tornadoes, and/or hurricanes doesn’t do a little stocking up. I guess Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

I never fail to wash my hands after using a public restroom. And I keep my paper towels to open the door as I’m leaving. There is usually a trash can nearby, so I just dump the towels in that.

Yep, and thanks for the crosscheck, guys.

Better to find out now...

even in hospitals,nurses and aides come to work with colds, or getting “over” the flu....some of them have so little sick time and even if you take sick time, you get a lecture about it, and maybe accused of “abusing” sick time....

That’s the point. Also known as depopulation.

It will also result in lower unemployment rates...I knew he would fix the problem!
