The two nurses I heard from said they are running away and not coming to work if Ebola comes through the door. It may not be airborne like Influenza, but it's not as difficult to get as AIDS either. In the Canadian studies done in 2012 the monkeys still got it when separated in cages. It showed up in their lungs. http://www.nature.com/srep/2012/121115/ ... 00811.htmlThe studies the US Army did in 1983 had a similar result. Monkeys separated and across the room got infected. If I was a nurse I would run out the door (the opposite direction) too!

Well, technically it is a continent and various "countries", but whatever you want to call it, it's welfare gone bad, that's for sure. We are afraid to stop flights because it will effect their economy, and of course it's racism. First what economy? Are you effin kidding me? And sorry but it's racism to treat people different because of the color of their skin.

Most of Africa's social problems are rooted in colonialism and the subsequent disruption of old boundaries and factions.

Well that does it....
OBarry just had a speech and said everything's gonna be fine....
What the hell was I worried about and what was I thinking?
335 posts later and its all fixed...you can all rest easy now.
Of course last month in his speech he said it'd be very very unlikely that Ebola would show up in this nation and if by the slimmest chance it did there are new safeguards recently installed in all hospitals so the chance of infection of the healthcare workers would not be an issue,.....and the risk of spread to the population very unlikely.
Yeah...
ok

I like the part in the speech where the WH is analyzing the medical data.

Apparently the second Health Care worker called the CDC before travelling to Cleveland and reported that she had a slight fever and they gave her the OK to go ahead and travel.
Yep, the safeguards are working like a charm....
Aren't the CDC staff the 'Professionals' in regards to containment of bad bugs..?

Not to mention, if they abandon their station, abandon a patient, they can be hauled before the state Board of Nursing and sanctioned or even have their licences revoked, regardless of the circumstances surrounding their decision to abandon a patient.

Life> nursing certification Just saying.  It also took 70 persons to care for the one patient in Dallas. I can foresee a lot of folks calling in sick. An Ebola outbreak was probably not on their radar when they signed up to be nurses. Self preservation and the fact they may not want to take it home with them might be more important. Some can fight that instinct and some cannot.

Ebola is airborne, according to a new report by the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota.So.... Rats, Pigs, Monkeys, etc all were infected via airborne particles, from studies done decades ago, and they finally admit that it might be airborne... Quote: scientists are now warning both health care providers and the general public that surgical facemasks will not prevent the transmission of Ebola. According to the airborne Ebola report, medical workers must immediately be given full-hooded protective gear and powered air-purifying respirators.
