Ebola Outbreak of 2014

Agoge said:
I think that to a great degree...we, in the West don't focus enough on coming up with vaccines for viruses that are deemed "third world". At some point, many of "those" viruses and diseases will eventually find their way to the US and I for one, don't want to have to play catch-up in the area of vaccines. I do admit my ignorance as to how much effort is put into those diseases; however, I'm not sure as to how important Ebola was to us prior to this outbreak. The above posted article does show some forethought with it.

I'm not an alarmist, but I don't necessarily see things getting better in our future concerning viral issues.

It's like any other business decision. It's the profit motive.

I work at a biotech company. As soon as the federal government says we are going to spend $5 billion a year stock piling an Ebola vaccine or Ebola cure you will get many companies fighting for that $5 billion. Until then nobody in the private sector is spending a dollar on research that isn't directed at solving a problem that can make them more money.

Especially with federal research grants being cut their is no will in the private sector research community to do any feel good research if there isn't profit to make.

So Military folks with no direct contact get a 21 day quarantine, but providers with direct contact should not be quarantined?

Makes sense to me.

Yeah, that line was a bit much.

Wouldn't want to hurt people's (civilians) feelings.

There's a story about some chick defying her quarantine, and it seems to me that she's pretty short-sighted. So what if you have no symptoms? I know it's not contagious unless you have symptoms... but what if some symptoms start to develop while you're out in public, and you don't notice soon enough? Bit too fucking late then, isn't it?

Which is what happened with the doctor in NY. "I'm asymptomatic, I'll just go fuck around the city awhile." Next morning, "Fuck, I have symptoms."
 
I really don't understand why there isn't a legal requirement for a mandatory quarantine for those exposed. No choice, walk into the room or we'll drag you into it, then prosecute you later if you live, for defying the order.

Why are we fucking around and thinking about people's feelings? Who gives a flying monkey fuck what these ignorant cunts feel?

At this point in time I'm not overly concerned about ebola, (though if it does go airborne we might be fucked) but what if something truly scary/contagious happens next week/year/decade? This is our time to get good systems in place to combat this type of thing.
 
Kaci Hickox is a selfish cunt who wants the attention for going to help out against Ebola, but doesn't want to actually have to deal with anything that inconveniences her without providing a feel-good benefit. I'm sure Sierra Leone was no picnic, but she gets all the "OMG, you're like a modern day Mother Theresa/Mother Mary/Wonder Woman" smoke blown up her ass. She gets no recognition for doing the right thing and abiding by a short quarantine to ensure she didn't contract the disease. So she decides to make a big deal out of it and use phrases like "inhumane", "civil rights violation", "horrible", etc. Did I mention she's a cunt?

Because Western society is fucked. It's all about victimhood and "MY FEELS".

And if you oppose all this 'social justice', you're a racist/sexist/homophobe/[insert any other term used to shut down discussions].

Because no one gives a flying fuck if you restrict the military guys to base. Stupid warmongers volunteered to kill babies; they deserve to keep their racist, crackerasses on base.

All I'd have to say to them in boo funking hoo it's part of the life. Learn to embrace the suck and shut your trap. Whatever happened to quiet dignity or was that just a SOF wife thing?

This is only 1/2 of my stock and yes, I know it does not kill ebola or c-diff but fuck it...DON'T JUDGE ME!
