People arent really buying this ebola crap anymore are they?

It's funny how people downplay #### and it's so impossible to spread yada yada yada

First we had one case with 25 or so people being watched or quarantined. Now we have 3 cases, and a lot more people will be quarantined. I'd be betting that there will be more than 3 by months end.

Who's saying it's impossible to spread? Measles, mumps are far more contagious and kill hundreds of people, infants, every year because wing nuts won't vaccinate. Dont see that as the lead on CNN 24-7

Hundreds don't die every year in the US - not sure where you are getting that info.

The reason we don't see it as the lead on CNN is because, while measles and the like are far more contagious - the diseases are also far less lethal and very treatable.

At best the current Ebola outbreak has a mortality rate of 50% - likely it is much higher.

Also, it would appear that we are rather overconfident in our ability to prevent the spread - or we are underestimating the ease/level of contact needed to spread the disease. If it was truly as hard to spread as many are claiming we wouldn't have healthcare workers getting sick. IMO, another red flag is that these healthcare workers don't seem to be able to indicate the point in time where they ####ed up and exposed themselves.

This drives me nuts about today's info-rich universe. You not being told where they exposed themselves doesn't mean they don't know. The cdc is under no obligation to tell any of us information about contraction, etc. Why? Well, it's against the law for starters to disclose patient health information without consent.

Don't be so naive. We are told that they are sick, when and what symptoms they are having, often times their current condition, where they are getting treatment.... but the million dollar question of *how* they got infected in the first place is top secret? The news/hospitals aren't reporting who has HIV but they are Ebola.

 

[ghostguy123]

Oh well, this is nice. I live east of cleveland and work on the west side of cleveland in a hospital as a nurse. Dont know if it was talked about on here, but apparently one of the nurses who was infected in Dallas just HAPPENED to fly up here to Akron before going back to Dallas.

No idea if she was symptomatic before going back to Dallas, but.....................yeah, ebola is everywhere rigth now. People may not necessarily get it, but the virus is everywhere at the moment.

Oh, and another FYI, not one person in the hospital I work in knows how to even protect themselves. They are talking about using triple gloves, becuase the biggest risk of getting it is while taking off all the protective gear.

This was never discussed in school. This was never discussed in hospitals. My wife worked on an infectious disease unit for several years, and their protective precautions dealing with HIV and many other diseases are NOT satisfactory when dealing with ebola.

Not saying the world is ending or anything.......................but it sure has potential. Whether you agree or not, that ebola virus IS spread around the country right now. Just a matter of how many people get it and what kind of further spread we see.

The mortality rate of American citizens treated in the US is 0%. Clearly it won't stay there, but currently it is 0%.

There are 100 US deaths a year from chickenpox, 40,000 from flu, 500 from meningitis.

then why the hell are we wasting resources in Africa when we could be stamping out chicken pox, flu, and meningitis..

Her temp was (reportedly) 99.5 right before her return flight. She was doing self-monitoring (like Nina Pham, the first nurse who got sick). My guess is that people on the plane who may have had contact with any sweat of hers, and then people she mixed with back in Dallas are at-risk, but hopefully no one in Cleveland.

Since you're a nurse this is a good read: Statement by RN's at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital as provided to National Nurses United

It's been known that the hospital didn't handle it well but I was surprised it was THAT bad.

Do measles kill 50-70% of people that get it? No. So stop with the ridiculous comparisons. This isn't a "CNN" thing. It's a UN, CDC, WHO, USA thing. Basically every world leader there is knows that this could kill hundreds of millions if not billions if left unchecked.

They have yet to be able to stop the spread this go around.

So this nurse used PPE, gown, gloves, and face/head gear. Still got ####### ebola. So, if a trained person can get ebola, how in the world are people who don't deal with using PPE not going to get infected.

I thought Ebola up to now was very hard to contract from an infected person if you didn't share needles, semen, blood, or other bodily fluids.

IT'S COMING FROM THE VENTS.

Not supposed to be airborne? But, who the #### really knows at this point. Wonder who they are getting to clean these rooms after the Ebola patients? Most of the techs that do the cleaning are high school kids, or other young people who are making 8 bucks an hour. Ugh, what a ####### mess.

I think the word "airborne" is becoming a problem. Ebola has no chance of becoming airborne to the extent where it can go through a plane and infect everyone.

But the possibility does exist that you can currently get it being within 5-6 feet of someone that sneezes. Is that airborne? Yes. But it's not going to just drift through the air and infect random people. You would need the sneeze to fly directly into your face or your area. Obviously, that is pretty rare in most situations.

According to the research from leading disease experts that advise the CDC, it's possible that the aerolized particles could hang there for up to a couple of hours. So the infected person wouldn't have to sneeze in your face, they could sneeze and you could walk through that space a half hour later and you get it. In fact, they seem to think that it's possible that the person could simply exhale and you walk through that space and get infected.

You're right that they don't think that it would circulate around an area, but they seem to think that it's possible that it's contracted more easily than the CDC is portraying it.

The mortality rate of American citizens treated in the US is 0%. Clearly it won't stay there, but currently it is 0%.

I think we are up to 6 cases including the two this week treated on American soil (2 are new and the outcome will be unknown)...

Of the previous 4, one is dead. 25% mortality rate.

 

[Courtjester]

So the bottom line is a nurse that knew she was not allowed to take public transportation, took it, Regardless of the fact she may or may not have had a fever (she did)--she was not allowed to travel. CDC would have arranged for a charter flight or a private car, but no, she traveled and put countless people at risk.

This isn't Obama's fault, Bush fault, the CDC's fault--this is the action of one selfish person and lets hope no one pays for it. Bottom line, if you are a direct provider of care for an Ebola victim, you need to be quarantined for the required 21 days. Since there are so few cases in the US, this wouldn't be a huge inconvenience for many people and the benefits would limit the possibility of exposure to new people.

If we are not going to limit air travel into this country, the above, would at least stop the spread of the preexisting cases we have here,

according to CNN, she did call the CDC and told them she had a slight fever and was given the OK to board the plane.. CDC is to blame here if anyone on that plane gets infected

Why the need to qualify it as American citizens? Wasn't Thomas Eric Duncan in the US before he exhibited symptoms? Didn't he got to the hospital fairly early after exhibiting symptoms?

Stop being logical. We need immediate quarantine of the entire state of Texas and anyone who traveled through and airport that had travelers from west Africa

lol. You cant be this stupid, can you? Unfortunately, you and most of the counry are when it comes to this.

I guess I can't blame you specificially. Clearly you never learned about ebola in school (nobody did), and you obviously are not a healthcare worker (jesus I pray you arent).

There is a reason the mortality rate is so low. For one, it hasnt been that long. Two, the people who have gotten it are getting the absolute best medical care possible right now..........that ends when more people get it. You can't give top of the line medical care to 10s, 100s, 1000s of people.

That plane that went back from Cleveland to Dallas needs to be incinerated.

 

[ghostguy123]

But yeah, real nice to know Ebola nurse just got on a plane recently like 5 miles from where I am sitting right now, was symptomatic, and now has ebola. Lovely.

So someone with KNOWN ebola who was SYMPTOMATIC while flying from cleveland to dallas isnt a good enough reason to incinerate the plane? Chalk yourself up as another clueless individual.

And when I say the virus is spread around the county, I dont mean necessarily that people are infected with it, but the disease itself is sitting in places other than Dallas right now.

If it doesnt scare you a bit that someone with ebola who was sumptomatic just got on a plane and flew across the county, then either you are an idiot, or simply just dont care in general in which case you wouldnt be scared.

 

[Parrothead]

CHICKENPOX!

 

[ghostguy123]

I mean jesus people. I am not changing anything I do. Not sitting inside and shut out from the world. If I was, I wouldnt be here at work 4 milies away from where a know infected person was just at not too long ago.

However, for those of you not thinking this is a ridiculously serious thing, you have to be at the very least mild MR, or maybe moderate MR.

This particular disease only needs a dozen infected and a little bit of panic, and life as we know here is over for a long time. Let's just hope we dont get anywhere near that.

.......edit..................and do I really have to explain the "life as we know it" part to people?? My guess is that gets taken way out of context, but cant wait, should be a fun read, so I wont explain it further.

That plane that went back from Cleveland to Dallas needs to be incinerated.

Are you writing crap like this to fish or do you really believe this?

Well, obviously hard to incinerate a plane, but.................................it sure as hell needs to be taken out of commision and quarantined for a while.

If you dont think so, tell me, what exactly do you know about the ebola virus?

lol. You cant be this stupid, can you? Unfortunately, you and most of the counry are when it comes to this.

I guess I can't blame you specificially. Clearly you never learned about ebola in school (nobody did), and you obviously are not a healthcare worker (jesus I pray you arent).

There is a reason the mortality rate is so low. For one, it hasnt been that long. Two, the people who have gotten it are getting the absolute best medical care possible right now..........that ends when more people get it. You can't give top of the line medical care to 10s, 100s, 1000s of people.

That plane that went back from Cleveland to Dallas needs to be incinerated.

Not sure if it is the best medical care but it is certainly the most expensive.

USA! USA! USA!

More than you.

I mean jesus people. I am not changing anything I do. Not sitting inside and shut out from the world. If I was, I wouldnt be here at work 4 milies away from where a know infected person was just at not too long ago.

However, for those of you not thinking this is a ridiculously serious thing, you have to be at the very least mild MR, or maybe moderate MR.

This particular disease only needs a dozen infected and a little bit of panic, and life as we know here is over for a long time. Let's just hope we dont get anywhere near that.

.......edit..................and do I really have to explain the "life as we know it" part to people?? My guess is that gets taken way out of context, but cant wait, should be a fun read, so I wont explain it further.

Is this what you meant?

So you are saying you would be ok flying on that plane right now eh? Nice

I love the fact that Africa, where civilization started, and Texas, where Texans think civilization started, are combining to end civilization. Nice symmetry there.

From reading this thread I have deduced that airplanes cause ebola. Thanks a lot Tea Party.

Fixed

Thats ok, when the Texas Board of Educations gets around to approving history textbooks of this in a few years, I am sure it will be written that Texas and America saved the world from the savage Africans trying to spread killer viruses.

Ghostguy is the new leader in the clubhouse. Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?

My favorites are:

"Whether you agree or not, that ebola virus IS spread around the country right now."

"That plane that went back from Cleveland to Dallas needs to be incinerated."

It's easy not to worry when you have Ebola already.

LOL, so true.

Then clearly you know everything there is to know about ebola. You are just stupid and dont care. To each his own.
