Thoughts on the two patients being flown from Africa with Ebola?

[hyper]

these are people returning from affected countries. the guy in Dallas supposedly came back intentionally, to seek treatment, after catching it in Liberia

And our government is being evil (or extremely stupid at a minimum) for continuing to allow flights in from those countries, or from anyone with a passport saying they've recently been to those countries.

it's ok
we're sending the army

SERIOUSLY! Fuck that guy, hopefully CDC or whatever anal probe the shit out of this selfish fucktard. Take him apart & shove whatever cure testing experiment needed.

Its like a movie unfolding in our very own eyes...Some dumb fucktard decides to spread the shit, CDC or whatever are like yo its not really a concern, no need to panic. Next thing we know there are like 100 or so cases happening...People going to start getting paranoid. Next thing you know on October 12, ill be watching Walking Dead out of my boarded window.

Didn't they have to quarantine a unit and a car within an apartment complex with hundreds living in there...five days after they diagnosed the tenant positive? The response time is just ridiculous.

Why does this seem to be playing out like the movie contagion...

Because our leadership in this country is inept...and no, I'm not talking about the White House this time. Time and time again those in power in the US prove how stupid they really are, its quite pathetic. Situation after situation poorly handled and nothing ever comes of it.

So if Atlanta has the best place to treat people with ebola, why did they send that journalist to Nebraska?

You would think they would want to send people to hospitals that had actual experience working with and treating ebola. But hey...what do I know...right!?!?

Because he was dying.

1 day in Nebraska is like 3 days anywhere else.

UNMC is actually a very modern hospital. I do some work with that institution.


I still don't know why we are letting ebola people come here. It's like someone wants Ebola to spread. Dan Brown's Inferno come to life.
It wont be near as deadly in the US, but people will still die. Especially in poor parts of the country.

I can't get import games through customs, but people with Ebola can get escorted through the country with no delays.

Anything for notoriety. Fuck Seattle.

There is now an unconfirmed case in India. This could get very bad in that one tuns out positive.

uk only just woken up to it my god ....got to go feeling a slight fever coming on.....shittttttttttttttttttttttt

 

[StevenK]

It looks like most of the cases that turn up in the west are going to be human error after human error caught from a small handful of patients flown in from Africa.

You tell nursing staff all of the risks and that there's a 50:50 chance they'll die if they get it yet they still fuck up and ignore protocol. What more can anyone do?

Or even better start training and sending people to care for patients who have survived ebola already. Before it gets to the point where there are too many cases to do so. Then you would have trained workers with immunity who could also donate blood a few times a week.

I have been saying for years there needs to be some sort of incubation period before leaving Africa. You go to Africa, be prepared to sit in a holding camp till you are confirmed safe. My friends tried to get me to go to the world cup a few years back and I declined. No way i'm paying to get malaria. We get cases quite often of people who traveled to Africa and come back sick as fuck. The African people I work with constantly travel between the USA and Africa. I literally just talked to a fellow co-worker that went back and got married just a few weeks ago.

I see them at work. Where you been bro? I went to Africa. I use to work with a lot of African people when I worked in parking services at the hospital that I still stop and talk to often. And even more now that do my job, and also that work in housekeeping.
