i hate to say it, but MOST nurses are numbnuts that i wouldn't even trust with a potato gun and we are trusting them to be responsible with the delicate care and handling to prevent the spread of the ebola virus.

lmfao. we are all effin' screwed.

I don't get why they flew people from Africa to the US and put them in specialized infectious disease hospitals like Emory and Nebraska Medical, but we get actual cases here in the US and they just leave them to be treated at this random hospital in Dallas? Why wasn't Duncan moved to Atlanta or Nebraska where they actually understand how to treat infectious diseases? Why aren't these nurses being moved there? This hospital is clearly incapable of working with these patients. Also it's astounding to me that someone involved in the treatment of someone with ebola is just allowed to take off on a trip. How can that hospital be that irresponsible?

This is not just the hospital's fault. The CDC is right there telling them what to do so they deserve some of the blame.

GJ with containment CDC:

Jet made 5 flights after carrying nurse with Ebola
The Frontier Airlines Airbus A320 flew to Cleveland, Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta after carrying a Dallas healthcare worker diagnosed with Ebola.

What I find interesting about how she merely touched her face with the gloves is that she wasn't actively sucking on the virus like some other posters here were saying that you had to do in order to contract the disease. This thing is deadly and extremely contagious.

this is the the thing that gets me. they claimed it was extremely hard to get. yet she got it by just touching her face?

how the fuck does this make sense?

Dr. Tom Frieden, director for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said during a telephone press briefing Wednesday that you cannot get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but that infected or exposed persons should not ride public transportation because they could transmit the disease to someone else.
...
“I think there are two different parts of that equation,” he continued. “The first is, if you’re a member of the traveling public and are healthy, should you be worried that you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone? And the answer is no.”

“Second, if you are sick and you may have Ebola, should you get on a bus? And the answer to that is also no. You might become ill, you might have a problem that exposes someone around you,” he said.

I don't know. There was some massive failure in protocol at that hospital. Droplet precautions require certain types of PPE and they didn't use it all. PPE is supposed to be taken off in a certain order and it wasn't. You never go above or below your sterile field, which they did (above the elbow and below the shoulders).

And the big one is you never touch your face with a glove you used to treat a patient.

I will get worse before it gets better. As I have said before, our healthcare system is run my greedy, lazy and incompetent monkeys. Everyone should be worried and prepare for the worse.

Chill, bro.

Just listen to the doctor. You can't get it by sitting next to someone... But the infected person can give it to you. One way transaction, yo.

Seriously, it's okay. Close to 5000 Africans have now "officially died" from the disease including something like 300 healthcare workers but the shit's not contagious. Healthcare workers put on full gowns, cover every square-inch of their body, and nuke everything with chemicals... but it's okay.

This is why I predict 30k cases by mid 2016 in the USA.

Wait till Islamic terrorists pre infected with ebola will be landing in our subways and moon in the direction of crowds and spray them with diarreahs of mass destruction.

Obamas fault.

This could so easily be used as an insane bio weapon. Someone could just walk around with a spray bottle on a hot day, pretending to cool themselves and others off. Spraying door handles, interior of mass transit vehicles etc. Not too difficult to pull off there.
