A rub of the eye is the suspected cause/origin of that infected spanish nurse iirc :yep:

Ahhh. That explains the 10 mile back-up northbound on I-35 into Minnesota. :D

DR. Hammstein will see you now!
 
At least they can begin treatment while they wait...near the Mayo Clinic at Rochester. http://www.beer-steins.com/hamms/H94LF.jpg:Kaleun_Cheers:just off the I-35 at Albert Lea

Ok so protocol may not have been broken. Doesn't mean the protocol involved is effective. Maybe they should review their procedures to find the obvious weak link. But most likley in order to save face they will just insist it was perfect and doesn't need to be changed.

Yay, lets all bring ebola to the USA! Great! Way to go! Maybe we can infect the entire USMC if we rotate them all through Liberia, swell! :arrgh!:

You don't know that there was a breach of protocol even though there clearly was? Tell me something else you don't know but think clearly happened.

That's exactley whats happening! Mother Nature orders woodland fairies to sprinkle magic Ebola dust on humanity as punishment for global warming.

Oberon 10-13-14 01:36 PM

I could think of better magic dust that the fairies could use if they really wanted to smack the reset button.

If this outbreak is anything, it's a shot across the bows, the next virus might not be as inefficient as Ebola currently is.

Rockstar 10-13-14 02:11 PM

It's not so much Ebola that has me worried. It's more of the authorities perceived ineptitude and inefficency of responding to it. As predictable as Ebola appears to be I would've thought it never could have gotten as far as Texas.

Still, thankfully I'm not living in India or like places.

Or at least global overpopulation.


BTW orange text is difficult enough to read now you want to use yellow? :roll:

Not surprising, the pair probably have shared bodily fluid, that's what couples do. She probably didn't even realise she was infectious at the time.

Either that or he's a really terrible boyfriend... :haha:

Not sure if there was a mix up in reporting who got what. But I just read a second healthcare worker involved with the Duncan case tested positive. Training, training, training! These doctors, nurses and directors need to get serious about this if they and their hospitals want to stay in business and healthy.

"I wish we had put a team like this on the ground the day the patient — the first patient — was diagnosed. That might have prevented this infection," Frieden said.

Instead right off the bat with borders wide open we as a nation were told not to worry about it. Then when Ebola does spread to Texas, local, state and federal authorities, seem to come down with a severe case of the dumb arse and appear completly unprepared as how to deal with it.

I saw on our local news that Forsyth hospital in Winston Salem was designated our Ebola care hospital in this area. I wonder if every state is doing that.

Dread Knot 10-15-14 07:46 AM

I think it's official now. Cute selfies with dogs spread Ebola.
