No Fuck your retarded views...

If enough people subscribe to them, then your offspring will be pitied for the shape those views will leave the world in 30 or 40 years down the road....

You moron, some foreigner living under a socialist healthcare system is complaining that the free market didn't do enough to stop Ebola. Why didn't your beloved European socialist systems step and solve it? If socialized medicine is so superior, why was the free market expected to save the day? And if socialized European healthcare didn't have the ability to stop Ebola, what will happen when the US follows suit?

Yep, those protocols are not in place in your beloved California either. Guess California is no better than Texas or any other state for that matter.

From your link

CDC had them up on their website since August. I guess private sector needs to get its sheet together.

 

[BoberFett]

From the Independent article, which you obviously couldn't be bothered to read:

"A team led by Professor Hill is to begin trials of an experimental Ebola vaccine fast-tracked into development in a desperate bid to slow the spread of the virus in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. If it passes safety and effectiveness trials, 10,000 doses of the vaccine – co-developed by the Britain's GSK and America's National Institutes of Health (NIH) – could be used to protect health workers in West Africa by December."

Why didn't they do that years ago? What were they waiting for?

Wow, a whole month. Unless Ebola is a brand new problem, maybe the CDC needs to get their shit together too?

I heard mixed reports on the time of the flight.

Let's hope she was not contagious then.

Almost two months. Not enough for the private sector? Or Dumbfvckistanis are slow learners ?

Frontier Airlines Flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth, which landed at 8:16 p.m. CT Monday, the CDC said.

This is scary, getting closer and closer to civilized world...

You know they have lost containment when the President calls off campaign travel.

Considering that ALL HOSPITALS with the exception of a few like Emory weren't ready shows that even public hospitals weren't ready for Ebola. So that means 'gasp' even the public sector are Dumbfvckistanis according to you.

No reason for a travel ban for medical workers who came into contact with Ebola or another medical person who treated an Ebola patient. Hope she wasn't contagious at the airport waiting to get on the plane. Did they decontaminate the waiting lounge at the Airport? Has she spread Ebola to another State already?

 

[Slew Foot]

ive worked in hospitals for the last 20 years. Outside of a specialized biocontainment unit, no hospital in the country is ready for this.

 

[piasabird]

How about a ban on shaking hands with politicians.

The CDC was talking about special procedures and following specific instruction when taking off protective clothing. Once you put protective clothing on, how do you take it off without contaminating yourself? I guess they need to spray the outside down with something that can kill Ebola before taking off the clothing.

 

[Jaskalas]

Has she spread Ebola to another State already?

Would it matter if she did?

This scare in the US is occurring with 8,000 West Africa cases. How will we react when West Africa reaches over a million? Dallas, TX is just the beginning. There will be more visitors from West Africa.

 

[spacejamz]

This is scary, getting closer and closer to civilized world...

Why does this remind me of the end of 12 Monkeys?

 

[trenchfoot]

As an aside......

Hmmm...so now I wonder why Texan evangelist Kim Clement and that other Reverend from Texas...uhhh what's his face McKissic(?) who used Hurricane Katrina to point to how evil New Orleans was haven't come forward to explain how Dallas is being punished for its own sins. lol

 

[Brovane]

Has she spread Ebola to another State already?

How would they even know that at this point considering Ebola's incubation period?

Sadly, the supposedly primitive Africans are already well ahead of us here. Many of them already spray down the healthcare workers with chlorine or bleach solutions prior to removing equipment. We haven't even begun to routinely do this yet. Again, I blame the CDC for really downplaying the contagiousness of Ebola.

Dr. Gupta does a great illustration of the problem of getting the protective clothing off in this video using CDC protocol.

I bet the current nurses at the Texas Hospital are not stepping forwarded to treat anymore Ebola patients.

 

[bshole]

Family of Thomas Duncan is blaming the hospital....

Yea, fuck you too. Good luck finding a jury to give you money.

http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/l...s-weeks-ebola-didnt-have-to-kill-my-uncle.ece

The hospital is not talking. Until then, we are all left to wonder. What we do know is that their error affects all of society. Their bad judgment or misjudgment sent my uncle back into the community for days with a highly contagious case of Ebola. And now, officials suspect that a breach of protocol by the hospital is responsible for a new Ebola case, and that all health care workers who care for my uncle could potentially be exposed.

Their error set the wheels in motion for my uncle’s death and additional Ebola cases, and their ignorance, incompetence or indecency has created a national security threat for our country.

Yea, they really really really screwed the pooch on this one.

They're not in full hazmat suits. Well that explains everything.
