Thomas Eric Duncan was already symptomatic when he flew on a jet filled with other passengers. He went to a hopistal, filled of course, with medical staff and patients, and was sent back home. He vomited, sneezed, coughed and sweat all over an apartment packed with relatives. By the time he returned to the hospital, he was spewing vomit in every direction. He boarded an ambulance with unprotected health care workers, and waited for help.
Emergency workers waited days before cleaning out the apartment he was staying in. Unprotected street workers blasted the vomit he left in the street all over the neighborhood by using high-power sprayers.
The government and medical response couldn't be worse. And still no ebola transmission.
I have friends and family in Dallas who are so complacent, it’s scary! (P)the way in which this healthcare worker got the virus is probably the same way Nancy Sniderman’s camera man got it. Both wore hazmat suits.
How many “clear breach of safety protocols” will there be before the CDC examines their procedures.
“Yes, fortunately no healthcare workers taking precautions have been infected in the US.”
Huh?

We don't know that he did that in the apartment. We also know Jallah ("stepdaughter") disinfected and also told the ambulance workers to go back and get their gloves and masks.
Since I run the Emerging Pandemic/Ebola ping list and have posted to no fewer than eight stories about the infected Texas healthcare worker today I didn’t think I needed a </sarc> tag.

(gotta wonder if the tool sleeps with those kneepøds on ?)
Ok.
Travel ban our best line of Ebola defence

Would you please add me to your list? Thank you.

conservatively, I think Ebola is up between 3.0 and 4.0 spread per infection cycle.
That means every two weeks or so, the number infected will rise by a factor of three:
1
3
9
27
81
243 [Christmas]
729
2,187
6,561
19,683
59,049
177,147 [Easter]
531,441
1,594,323
4,782,969
14,348,907
43,046,721
129,140,163 [4th of July]
387,420,489 [More than American’s population]
I didn’t know if anyone here had heard about that case yet.
You done good.
For what it's worth, I hope and pray that we are being played.
I’d elevate your consideration from WAG to rational and logical and the progression of things.
Much of the US has become third world and it is spreading and winning and overwhelming because there is no resistance to it.
I just told my wife about the second case and how they are blaming it on “failure to follow protocol”... it was the nurse’s fault.
In one breath CDC director Frieden says that Obola is very hard to contract and in the next breath says that the nurse failed to follow protocol... “one slip is all it takes”. Does not sound like Obola is very hard to contract.
And don’t forget that woman in Spain, she was wearing gear too.
They are saying that people aren’t disrobing properly, which I suppose could be true, but aren’t they taught how to do that? Not the cameraman, maybe, but the health care workers would have been trained, or so one would think.
Latest case is health care worker in Dallas, who treated Duncan and they say was wearing full protective gear - obviously not as difficult to catch as they are telling us.
