No, Americans with Ebola are clearly not guaranteed dead, nor are the people who treat them.
“Americans with Ebola are clearly not guaranteed dead, nor are the people who treat them.”
Well, that is reassuring. /s
Nothing in life, or in this case, death, is guaranteed. But the margin of error while treating ebola is pretty low; a droplet of bodily fluid while changing the damn suit can be fatal, as evidenced by the nurse’s death. Everybody has to manage risks. In this case, the risk of contracting and dying of Ebola is higher than the payoff of the ebola “victim” actually surviving. Suicide is wrong.
You can wax as noble as you want about how you think people should act.
I’m talking reality. I hear this same conversation a dozen times a day.
It’s a bridge too far to ask someone to risk their children’s lives for any profession.
Your pejoratives from afar won’t change reality.
