The deadly Ebola virus has been contracted by someone inside the United States for the first time.
A nurse who had worn protective gear during her "extensive contact" at a Dallas hospital with an Ebola patient who died tested positive during a preliminary blood test, officials said Sunday.

Don’t worry, be happy.
-signed, CDC
Right, this nurse followed CDC procedures and it happened anyway. Airborne maybe?
Maybe they need to revise those procedures
It can't possibly be Obola's fault.
Or redesign those protective outfits. Remember those protective bubbles for patients whose immune system had been to ally compromised. Reverse the process.
And how many troops are on the ground in West Africa?
CDC: There is nothing to worry about, the nurse is at fault here, its impossible to get Ebola, move on people, move on
Can someone post that photo of Baghdad Bob it would be perfect for the CDC
Well, since they’re not real clear about how it’s spread...
Bamsy’s going to have to break it to his West African buddies he met with unexplicably last month, that he’s just going to have to stop access.
Or he’ll have to do this later, after it gets more ridiculous.
One way or the other.

Another Obama first
You see things like that in movies where they have an airlock with a suit attached on the other end. I think they might have bio-weapon labs like that.
The problem would be, they are expensive and all that. We have about 19 total isolation beds like that. nationally.

Here comes Doctor Zhivago now...
I’d be curious if they were supposed to disinfect the exterior of the suits first or just strip them off. Since the germs are spread by liquids, any little splash could expose a person.
I certainly hope that she does not get a fatal case of this stuff, but right now we are all biting our nails about this, so to speak.
Sometimes I wonder if evil people in hell love the torment.
CDC guidelines call for Level 2 PPE (droplet protection), when this is a Level 4 Pathogen, where BSL4 PPE should be donned. As Ken Isaacs testified before congress, “this is a disease where if even one millimeter of skin is exposed, you will become infected and likely die.”
I am waiting for someone to challenge Frieden to take care of an Ebola-infected, symptomatic patient with a high viral load, employing CDC “droplet protection” protocols.
It will never happen. I saw pictures of him in Africa. He was covered head-to-toe, with no skin exposed, per WHO and MSF/Doctors Without Borders guidelines.
how can this be? Obama the wise assured us this is nearly impossible to get!
If someone in protective gear can get it, anyone can get it!
Obama is lying to us.
