Who the Fuck would get on an Airplane ( read healthcare professional) knowing a mother fucker died that you helped treat?

you weren't totally wrong... her degrees are from Kent State, historically one of the most academically-challenged Universities in the nation.. but yeah, she had no business getting on the flight.. she says she called CDC and asked for advice, and someone told her go ahead, that 100.4 is the threshhold..

the CDC head, Friedan, should resign.. he's too arrogant to do so, and Obama's too spineless too insist..

Here is a link to the town hall meeting last night in the Lakewood Theater, sponsored by Channel 8, WFAA. There were 4 doctors and one PhD nurse. The top dog was Dr Richard Besser of ABC News. He is the former director (4 years) of the CDC Atlanta.

One of the things that they talked about and explained was that 100,4 F point for an Ebola diagnosis.

It lasts about 90 minutes and I think well worth watching.

Thanks for posting.

I listened to it last night on the radio at practice. Good stuff. Thanks for linking that.

There are a few decent, informative threads going on in the political forum (if you can sift through the all hateful, partisan bs). One of the things I read a few days ago I posted in there. It explains how Nigeria, which neighbors Liberia, successfully contained Ebola over the summer. Their outbreak was 22 people infected and 900 people quarantined. Their sex worker industry did suffer quite a bit but there are other articles on that. Here is the post with the link to the CDC report and the report copy and pasted in full on how Nigeria contained Ebola (they are skiddish over there about clicking links):

If Nigeria can contain Ebola, I'm sure the US can too. Their response was much more drastic than ours in regards to quarantines, only treating Ebola patients at specialized care centers and travel restrictions.

I'm glad they moved the third patient to Atlanta. Nothing against Dallas hospitals, but the strategy of only treating Ebola patients with ebola specialists at ebola facilities is the best idea. It seems ebola is EXTREMELY contagious in the last few days but the problem comes from how to dispose of the body fluids expressed from the patient at that time. The disposal and clean up of those fluids requires expert knowledge of Ebola which the staff at TPH was not supplied with 24/7. I'm concerned for the other patients those nurses were treating during the shifts they care for Duncan. Time will tell. At least they have a CDC site manager at the isolation room at TPH now. That is a good start.

I wouldn't be so quick to lay blame on anyone entity in particular. This has been a learning experience for everyone and thank god it isn't an uncontrollable infection. It is easily contained as Nigeria has demonstrated.

Consider it a good practice run for when there is a more serious threat. Its good to talk about it bc it prepares us for staying calm should we ever need to be on high alert in the future.

Folks, when the people in charge tell you "not to worry" then it is time to really be careful ....they are trying to figure a way to cover their asses...ijs

I agree. I also would not be surprised if Ebola gets a play in biological warfare.

Sweat is a bodily fluid. I spent nearly a year in Angola and trust me your going to perspire.
In one of the most infected countries, they stand up the corps and pour buckets of water over it. They capture the water and have little children drink it. They believe that the children will get the positive characteristics of the dead person. People just don't understand how primitive these people are. I feel sorry for these people but they need to stop all travel, in and out, of west Africa.

I think we have seen the last Ebola case in Texas this year... I think both Presby nurses will fully recover... in 2 more weeks we will know everyone made it.

It's Ebola Madness. This story has a week left in the news cycle before people find something else to overreact to.
