(Note neck area of health care worker - re 10/08/2014 story: Frisco patient suspected to have Ebola (Texas, Duncan contact))
Posted on 10/16/2014 6:29:06 PM PDT by TigerClaws
An emergency room nurse who treated a fellow nurse who contracted the Ebola virus in Dallas is taking time off and retained a noted Fort Lauderdale plaintiffs firm rather than return to work.
Briana Aguirre, 30, contacted Robert W. Kelley of the Kelley/Uustal firm after concluding Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital was not adequately protecting staff from the lethal virus, Kelley said.
With Kelley by her side, Aguirre was interviewed Thursday by Matt Lauer of NBC's "Today Show." She told Lauer the biohazard outfits given to nurses left a 3-inch gap below the chin that potentially allowed contaminated fluid to travel to the mouth and nose.

The Purple People Beaters mostly "work" for government agencies.
I just knew that one had to be ZOT worthy!
Now we don't worry about little things like microbes from Africa. Wonder what the CDC would have done if the Liberian had come here with a full blown case of leprosy.
I am not gone. I have been around here off and on for years. I just signed up with a new name instead of using this old one.

You guys with your inability to have even small disagreements are going to ruin this place.
Btw, better figure out another nick . . .

Why are you so hateful? You just can’t handle the fact that I am against a pack of lawsuits complicating things while people are dealing with ebola? Have you been missing your anger management classes?
Why would you do that ?
I can think of several reasons, none of them involving much integrity.
I do not think the CDC knowingly put anyone at risk.
Every day that ingress is allowed from W.Africa proves that kumbaya nonsense wrong.
No, CDC can't close the borders of their own volition, but that toadie Frieden, as the mouthpiece of CDC, is aiding/abetting Øbola's tacit genocide of the American citizenry.
No better than another Goebbels.
they might not be able to close the borders/ports of entry but they can quarantine persons entering..why aren’t they? a quarantine would reduce the number of entrants and protect us
Yes. The CDC director said today they immediately sent a team to Presby.
He also said this is the plan set up for any hospital with an Ebola patient. We are screwed.
From what I watched today, none of the pubbies were buying what he was selling.
Ebola is a BSL 4 virus studied under the most extreme controls imaginable, including positive pressure suits and yet the CDC tells the caregivers, literally covered with infectious material, swimming with the virus “Try not to get anything on you (impossible) and wash your hands real good”.
I am not saying I am a fan of anyone at the CDC or that I think they have been perfect. We will have to just disagree on the rest.
I do not know why you are so suspicious about my signing up with a new name. I had not been here for years as tragedy after tragedy has been affecting my life. When the ebola thing hit, I decided to come here, knowing what great sleuths frequented this place. I remember typewriter-gate. I remember the Clinton trial. I remember Sore-Loserman. So many times when people here were on top of the news. So I came back. I did not readily remember my old password nor did I think anyone would remember me anyway. So I just chose a new name.
Read that there are only 11 beds in the country capable of handling BLS 4 patients. 4 are occupied. What happens if a family of 10, in Dallas for Aunt Mary’s wedding, that were on Vinson’s flight walk into a small town hospital in OH with fevers and symptoms?
It’s either total incompetence or a plan. I don’t believe anyone could be this incompetent so...
Lawsuits might be the best way to get Obama and the CDC to ban travel from the affected western African countries.
CDC, states, and hospitals have had 40 years to prepare for a Levev 4 pathogen outbreak with appropriate facilities, equipment and training. It became very obvious that the risks greatly increased last Spring. This is gross incompetence and negligence. I’m surprised the OSHA ambulances haven’t shown up yet. Defending against lawsuits isn’t helpful right now, but maybe legal action will snap everybody out of their lethargy.
