CDC no head gear needed
On the Kelley files Tom Frieden said the need for protective head gear was unnecessary !!!!!
Duncan was projectile vomiting yet the Obama admin says no need for face shield or any googles or head gear of any kind needed !!!!!!!!
"We know how ebola spreads" , he kept repeating.
Transcript:
KELLY: OK. But when I look at the CDC's website, it says that when you're putting on the protective gear as the medical personnel, and you know that the nurses have come out and complained that in some of these hospitals, they're just posting it on the bulletin board. "Hey, check the CDC's website to figure out how to deal with Ebola." And the nurses are saying, "Really? A life and death matter for me? This is insufficient."
But I looked at the website and it says, you are only supposed to wear one pair of gloves. And it says, you don't have to cover your head, you know, head gear, head cover, and you don't have to cover your feet. Now, wouldn't you admit that that is insufficient?
FRIEDEN: No. We know how Ebola spreads. It spreads by direct contact. And you know, sometimes more isn't better. You put on more layers, you put on more things, they're harder to get on. They're harder to get off.
KELLY: Really?
FRIEDEN: Yes, really.
KELLY: You would go into a highly infected Ebola patient's room without covering your head, with only wearing one pair of gloves and with your feet exposed? You would do that?
FRIEDEN: Absolutely. More is not always better. Better is better. Sometimes you put on more layers, it's harder to put on, harder to take off, you increase your risk of exposure. That's what the science tells us.

There is actually controversy about how much protective gear must or should be worn while caring for Ebola patients. Some doctors think that putting on too much gear can decrease dexterity and increase the chance of an accidental exposure, while others think that one should be completely covered.
Whenever I have worked with infectious agents, I would put on booties and bonnet, as well as lab coat, gloves, and eye protection. The agents I worked with were, like Ebola, non-aerosolizable agents.
FRIEDEN: Absolutely. More is not always better. Better is better. Sometimes you put on more layers, it’s harder to put on, harder to take off, you increase your risk of exposure. That’s what the science tells us.
then by that reasoning firemen shouldn’t wear Nomex and air tanks because its just too dang hard to put on and take off.
These truly are the dumbest people on the face of the Earth. They all should be sterilized so they can reproduce.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
