Ok, I take it back, if this is the level of stupidity that the US is going to display in the face of Ebola, you guys are screwed. :dead:

Urals are too far away, and any self respecting Russian (that lives in Moscow) has an access to a fall out shelter (not metro) there.

Good point, I forgot about the Moscow shelters, are they still building the new shelters that were announced to be built back in 2010?

Which specific project do you refer to?

It is an ongoing process (the most recent one that I remember was the TIS started in 90s and finished in 00s), though the new facilities are for the goverment use only.

D'oh! Still, at least they made an effort...I don't recall any major public protection works in the US or UK, shelters were left to the public and individual businesses to make. Teller, Rockefeller, Kahn and Holifeld apparently had an idea for a series of shelters across the US to be able to house millions of people, perhaps that's where the idea for the Vaults in Fallout came from.

File this under the "No big surprise" department. Workers balk at clean-up.

The officials said it had been difficult to find a contractor willing to enter the apartment to clean it and remove bedding and clothes, which they said had been bagged in plastic. They said they now had hired a firm that would do the work soon. The Texas health commissioner, Dr. David Lakey, told reporters during an afternoon news conference that officials had encountered “a little bit of hesitancy” in seeking a firm to clean the apartment

Actually, I'm not too worried for the guys doing the pressure washing. The vomit was days old at this point and the virus likely long dead.

I'm more worried for whomever and whatever may have had contact with that spot in it's early hours prior to anyone even knowing what it was. Kids running barefoot. A dog who later inflicted a scratch or bite. The woman in sandals. etc.

We'll know in 21 days.

I wonder why they were not isolated or why there was no proper clean up crew. I mean it is not all that hard to organise.

Well, we are talking about a nation where a guy recently vaulted the White House fence, ran across the lawn through the unlocked front door, mugged a secret service agent inside and made it into in inner sanctum of American political power virtually unmolested.

Likely the same clowns who were in charge of White House security have now been transferred to the Center for Disease Control. :D

A bird virus that jumped to people, AIDS which was a monkey thing if I recall?
OH GOD!! I'M GONNA DIE!!!
:o
:haha:

I think you should read some more about Ebola.

Of course Ebola are spread by contact between a person with Ebola and a healthy person, that if this healthy person are in contact with one of four of the victims body fluid

Even if you should be in the same room as an patient with Ebola and you don't touch that person or his or her belongings or stand right infront of that person, if this person should cough or something. You should be OK.

There is one point to remember here: almost all the efforts regarding the containment, cleanup, and monitoring of the "Ebola Arms Apartments" is being handled by the local health and law enforcement authorities. the Feds, due to jurisdictional restraints really have little say other than to recommend actions to be taken. The locals may either choose to follow those suggestions or not. Given that this case is in Texas and there is a pronounced anti-Fed sentiment in the state, it may be rather more difficult to get the locals to take reasonable actions. I rather imagine if the Feds, via the CDC or some other entity, moved in and tried to take over the administration of the situation, the reaction to perceived Fed interference would be swift and vocal...

You don't know the half...

There was a movie several years ago where an epidemic broke out and the Feds moved in to stop the spread. In the movie, a team goes to Los Angeles (where I live) and meets with all the local authorities and community representatives. After the Feds set out their plans, immediate bickering broke out: "You have to many aid centers in the majority white area, we demand you move them to our [enter racial/ethnic/socio-economic/gender/political sub-group here] area!!". The bickering then expanded to arguments between the groups as to which group was perceived to have acquired or siphoned off resources from another group. The upshot of the scene was the Feds shaking their heads in disgust and leaving the meeting...

The scene probably seemed a bit comical to those viewing the film outside of Los Angeles, but, I assure you, if an actual emergency of the sort depicted in the film were to break out in LA, the fiction would be only a sliver of what would be the actual truth...

It's OK, Jesus will be returning soon...

vienna 10-03-14 05:03 PM

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I once saw in the late 60s. An evangelical fundamentalist Christian group had been handing out and/or placing on cars stickers that said "Jesus is Coming Soon". Being that I was living in San Francisco at the time and given the highly irreverent nature of San Franciscans, a large number of variation on the sticker's theme soon appeared. My favorite was "Jesus is Coming... and, man, is He P.O.'d"...
