Ebola Outbreak of 2014

[pardus]

Well, if I have to off a friend becuase he left me stranded in a foreign country due to a fake ebola scare, the least I can do is honor his wishes.

I can feel the love...

Or I can strip you naked, cover you in melted candy bars, and drop you off in Mississippi.

A chocolaty dilemma!

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Don't worry about Ebola spreading in Dallas. The Cowboys have shown us that people in Dallas can't catch anything

Shaking my fucking head.

Minnesota can join that club tonight.

On a serious note, I hope a bunch of folks are awake right now asking themselves "How did this happen" instead of "Who can we blame."

Bad drafting by your general manager.

16 hours on planes between Dubai and London next month looks great now...

You could get a tyvek suit and respirator and nitrile gloves to wear for travel...

One of the Paramedics is bitching he had to pay for his own blood tests because the city didn't contact him or any of the firemen involved in the call or co-located with the Paramedics.

Fucking clown shoes.

Doesn't surprise me, I dislocated my shoulder and tore some stuff fighting someone at work. The city kept sending me all the medical bills even though it was all work related and covered under workman's comp. I went back and forth for months about it all.

I get e-mail "updates" every few hours about this, but they basically repeat themselves. The news seems to be reporting more info, or info before we are getting it at least. The most amusing thing I've seen from it all is the city is referring to him as Patient Zero now.

He would enjoy this to much.

You two are certifiable, you must know that by now.

For the plane ride: hand sanitizers, hand sanitizers, hand sanitizers. Don't touch your face without :-"...........you know the drill. I do like the tub of acid approach; no one will come near you. If someone coughs on you, in the tub with the ass, and then full camel clutch; then hand sanitizer.....................

One case in DC?

A person with possible Ebola symptoms has been hospitalized in Washington, D.C. out of "an abundance of caution," the hospital confirmed in a statement.

The patient, who traveled to the U.S. from Nigeria, has been hospitalized at Howard University Hospital in Washington.

Isolated incidents I feel like we have the infrastructure to deal with.

The problem is going to be this sh!t getting out of hand abroad and then clusters of outbreaks occurring here due to the sheer volume of people making their way into and out of our country.

I'm not really a tin hat kind of guy, but when you couple the growing number of infected overseas with the looming threat of executive action around immigration - it just seems like we're living out the plot for a Call of Duty game or World War Z or something.

I'd agree with you if I trusted the system to act accordingly. No one wants to cry wolf or offend anyone by saying, in essence, "You were just in Africa and have a runny nose, have a seat over there." I have reservations about the Houston-area patient and how that system operated and I fear that until others are diagnosed we won't take it seriously enough. Then in typical fashion the pendulum will swing the other way with the news telling us the ead draws near and all of that. We'll take, or currently take, a people-friendly, no one's bothered approach until it becomes an issue. By then, people are sick who shouldn't be.

I don't think people trust the system for the reasons we see in TX now.

Hoping this one turns out to be a false alarm. Glad they didn't send him home. :wall:

Could have sent him to the White House. With the Secret Service on the case we'd need a new group of leaders in no time....

only after becoming a chocolate covered snack would your plan work...

Talked to my Brother in Law tonight about this(smartest guy I know, biochemist) I am more worried about Ebola. However only slightly and not for fear of a widespread outbreak in the US.
