21 days your Honour,,21 days.

Apply the law but pls...

Anyone in this situation should be wearing a full hazmat suit, ANYONE dealing with the situation in ANY way , I think gloves on their own would just not cut it

a reply to: drwill

This is insane.

I have zero confidence in any of the reporting, since the DHS Judge hijacked the family. Nor any confidence in Dallas officials, the CDC or area medical personnel. FFS! This Deputy went to an urgent care facility instead of calling some official organization in to help limit contacts.

I've been studying this outbreak for some time. At this point, I am convinced that the CDC is secretly being run by The Three Stooges. Completely inept. It is incomprehensible to me that flights to infected countries (with the exception of health and humanitarian aid) were not banned months ago by US Administration / Obama.

NBC 5 has confirmed the man is Sr. Sgt. Michael Monnig with the Dallas County Sheriff's Office.

Dyer said the symptoms exhibited were not Ebola-like, but because he was feeling ill and had been at the apartment he was transported to Texas Health Presbyterian out of an abundance of caution.

If i was traveling, i would be taking my own gloves with me as well. Touch nothing with uncovered hands, wash hands often and thoroughly, cover your eyes and maybe wear a mask like the people in Japan do in public. Maybe it would keep some "diffuse particles of spittle or mucus" from a sneeze or aggressive talker from flying in your nose or mouth....

I didn't even think about someone else' dirty gloves, like a TSA agent. Good grief!

a reply to: Quantum_Squirrel

Good Grief!!! We still do not fully understand this particular strain of Ebola. We still are not sure how the virus is passed. Even touching an infected surface and then rubbing one's eye could be enough to get infected. We still do not understand why so many health aid workers are becoming infected, when they wear protective gear. The lack of information we are getting from the CDC and our government is criminal, in my opinion.

Elections coming up, right?
I could set this to music, a Muse song, "Ruled by Secrecy."

Repress and restrain
Steal the pressure and the pain
Wash the blood off your hands
This time she won't understand
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one
Knows who's in control
You're working so hard
And you're never in charge
Your death creates success
Rebuild and suppress
Change in the air
And they'll hide everywhere
And no one
Knows who's in control

Yes it looks as if we have a mock evacuation of patient here.

a reply to: drwill

Just change "Change in the air" to "Ebola in the air" and that oughta do it.

Let's hope this is just a stomach flu and the deputy doesn't have ebola. If he DOES .. then every possible screwup around him that could possibly happen IS happening. Letting the patients go ... reopen the clinic without a scrub down ... jeeeze .... It's like the monkeys are running the zoo.

They should have closed the clinic and scrubbed it anyways .. just in case and to be safe. It can't hurt. I'm sure it's full of germs anyways.

I am so angry. I mean just apoplectic pissed! Is anyone? I just am in shock that the people charged with handling this are so inept, out of touch, arrogant....we are so screwed.

What happened to the U.S.? We used to be so kick-ass and can-do. Now we're just hapless it would seem.

"But they say you can't catch Ebola by being in the same room/close proximity without touching the patient"!! "See my arms are crossed in front of me..." 5 more potential persons on the watch list...sheeesh.

It is because it is all about money. Making it to the top for a big pay check, even with out skill for the position. Spend little, charge a lot. The insurance company tells a person what treatment and drugs they can take. The good old days are gone forever.

And I bet you wont find that homeless man anywhere on the streets either...

That 100+ that swiftly became less than 50, Why are they not speaking out? Or have they also been taken to that special place where they can be reborn free, live free and let beauty surround them...

New Rules of the Cray Cray: An Ebola patient's dog gets killed because he may or may not spread Ebola, yet an Ebola patient is kicked out of an ER and unintentionally becomes Typhoid Mary in Dallas.

I think this is a situation of one of the first hypochondriacs of many to come.

Ill eat these words if wrong.

They guy supposedly has been monitoring his temperature non-stop since walking into the apartment complex.

Or, will come again for the lucky few still around 3 years from now. How long does a Pandemic take to run its course?

ETA--i loved Nobunaga's when it came out. I played non-stop for a long time....
