Ebola (6 Viewers)

On October 19, the Rwandan Ministry of Health introduced new Ebola Virus Disease screening requirements. Visitors who have been in the United States or Spain during the last 22 days are now required to report their medical condition—regardless of whether they are experiencing symptoms of Ebola—by telephone by dialing 114 between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for the duration of their visit to Rwanda (if less than 21 days), or for the first 21 days of their visit to Rwanda. Rwandan authorities continue to deny entry to visitors who traveled to Guinea, Liberia, Senegal, or Sierra Leone within the past 22 days.

Dang it! I was planning on going to Rwanda...
I know a good hotel.

 
There once was a man from Liberia

Who coughed and created an hysteria

He puked on his bed

He ended up dead

Just wait till you see his bacteria
There once was a nurse from Dallas

Who flew to Ohio with malice

People looked at her like Santa

Because they'd rather have ebola in Atlanta

Than have to spend one more minute in Cleveland

The FBG who are experts on ebola will assure you that flu season will be no problem and a diagnosis can be made by a simple general practitioner by asking one question.
... you do know that your regular ol' family GP can affirmatively diagnose influenza and rule out Ebola with a cheek swab, right? What they can't readily do (yet) is positively ID Ebola in the office. But they won't need to.

GPs and drugstore nurses across America can pretty much rule out Ebola anyway when presented with flu, strep, etc. The odds of all the just-so conditions being present in their next patient are as good as zero.
Unless someone has ebola *and* the flu.
Flubola? Or eFlu?
eFlu.....you can catch it over the intrawebs now? :scared:
Download the new virus definitions, don't open any Nigerian scam emails, and you'll be fine.

Just got out of some high level ebola training. They're refusing to call it as such (instead referring to it as strict isolation room training). Fun times. We got an entire isolation unit set up over the weekend to do total training.
They are setting up two of these units here as well. I guess nobody has told them this thing is over.

 
This might be a little :tinfoilhat:

Experts have brought to the publics attention that Ebola is a genetically modified organism developed in US bio-warfare laboratories in Africa.

wait till the airborne version we made gets out :tinfoilhat:
The airborne version is already here. Do you think it walked over here from Liberia.
I thought it swam, being in the river and all.

I remember the season he had Ebola. I think that was the year Tim drafted him and had the run at perfection.

 
Well, not trying to rain on the fun parade, but I just received a call from my sister in Ohio. My nephew was on the airplane with Ms. Dumb #### Ebola Nurse. Needless to say, I am fairly angry with everyone involved at the Dallas hospital that somehow thought it would be a great idea to just clear these people to fly, jump on cruise ships, etc.

My nephew had to spend a little extra time in Cleveland until the CDC cleared him to return home. He is now in a voluntary 21 day isolation. The delay allowed his wife and children to vacate the house so he could immediately quaratine himself when he returned home, and his wife could continue to go to work and the kids to school. Otherwise they would have had to quarantine too. Since he was on company travel, his company is picking up the hotel and food tab for the family, for which they are extremey grateful. It would have been a fairly heavy financial burden for them otherwise.

They are trying to keep this all quiet as they fear repurcussions from those who may panic if they knew his situation. Unfortunately, being from a small town, word is already beginning to spread. He has to take his temperature each day and a nurse comes and views the thermometer through the window on the door. Also, he has to have groceries left on the porch, and he goes and picks them up once the delivery person has departed. Needless to say, this likely stands out to the neighbors. Hopefully no one decides they must "eliminate the threat" and do anything irrational. But with people today, you ever really know what they are capable of.

So, I'll go ahead and apologize in advance if I snap at anyone that is making light of the situation. I realize my viewpoint and anger level will probaby not be enitrely rational until his quarantine is up, he is fully healthy, and back with is family.

Get over it. Your nephew does not have ebola. Its a voluntary 21-day isolation. Nobody is forcing this on your nephew.

If you are angry over this, you should see someone professionally.

It would suck to be quarantined for 21 days. I get stir crazy after one day of being stuck inside. My wife would come home and there is no way I would have showered, shaved, cleaned the house, or done a single dish in those 21 days.

Unless he's sitting next to the nurse (within about 5 feet). He's a crazy, a drama queen or looking for an excuse to avoid his family and get a free vacation for a couple of weeks.

Even if he's sitting beside the nurse his odds are very, very low considering she was not symptomatic.

You do realize all you #######s don't even know when you are wrong. I am not sure what is funny about thousands of West Africans dying and the situation is getting worse and worse.....yes exponentially.

‘Not rocket science’: Texas male stripper in Ebola self-quarantine shocked CDC didn’t order isolation after he was on plane with sick nurse Amber Vinson

Texans Axl Goode and Taylor Cole, who are also models and writers of romance novels, have quarantined themselves after flying from Cleveland to Dallas alongside Ebola patient Amber Vinson Monday night. Goode said he’s shocked health officials haven’t ordered his isolation: ‘If a stripper can make a decision that’s more responsible than the CDC, then surely other people can make those decisions, too.’

Take it from exotic dancer Axl Goode: Quarantining people exposed to the Ebola virus isn’t “rocket science.”

And he should know.

Goode and a stripper pal, Taylor Cole, voluntarily pulled themselves out of circulation after the pair sat near an infected nurse on a Cleveland-to-Dallas flight. They vowed to stay in their homes for 21 days, a move suggested — but not required — by the CDC.

“It doesn’t take an intelligent person to make a good decision,” Goode, who comes from a family of pharmacists, told the Daily News. “If a stripper can make a decision that’s more responsible than the CDC, then surely other people can make those decisions, too. It’s not rocket science.”

Goode and Cole placed themselves in quarantine after learning they sat just an arm’s length from health care worker Amber Vinson on Monday’s flight. The men are feeling fine; neither has reported a fever.

CDC officials gave Vinson, 29, the go-ahead to fly despite her work treating doomed Ebola patient Thomas Duncan at a Dallas hospital. She was diagnosed this week with the often-fatal virus.

The hunky pair, who also work as models for romance novel covers, were astounded when federal officials didn’t impose any travel restrictions on them after the flight.

“I think the best medical solution out there is prevention,” Goode told The News. “Then you never have to treat it.”

The two models were among 132 passengers on Frontier Airline’s Flight 1142 from Cleveland to Dallas.

Vinson contracted the deadly virus while she treated Duncan — the first confirmed Ebola case on U.S. soil — at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. Duncan died last week, and two of his nurses have since developed the disease.

Federal officials, who have been criticized because of their bungling of the Ebola crisis, urged all the passengers aboard the flight to call and check in Wednesday.

But when Goode dialed in around 11 a.m., he faced an 81-minute wait, he wrote on Facebook.

Instead of staying on hold, he elected to have health officials call him back. It took them an hour and 40 minutes to return his call.

When they did, they took down his contact address and phone number but didn’t give him any advice.

A day later, Dallas health officials called to suggest he voluntarily isolate himself by staying in his own home — a protective move he had already started.

“This is not only good for me, but for the greater public as well,” Goode said. “I’m taking a proactive approach to protecting people.”

The strippers were on the flight Monday after attending an Ohio conference for their publishing company, Ellora’s Cave.

The two were unaware they were flying with a soon-to-be diagnosed Ebola patient. Cole took a playful video during the flight showing him poking Goode while he slept.

While the CDC won’t say exactly which seat the Ebola-infected nurse was in, officials told the models that they were within three feet of her.

Once Goode learned he might have been exposed to the virus, he texted Cole. His pal was planning a trip to Houston that day, but Goode advised him to cancel.

“Definitely don’t go to Houston today. We’re going to have to take the next three weeks off work,” Goode told his friend.

An epidemiologist told Goode and Cole not to fly or get on board a cruise ship. And if they were living with someone else, to stay three feet away. They also needed to keep a journal and take their temperature twice daily.

Goode said he’ll spend the next three weeks locked inside his Dallas home.

Friends, family and a growing number of strangers have volunteered to ship him food and supplies for the duration of his self-imposed exile. Supporters have set up a fund to help him with his rent and bills, he said.

“I’m fortunate that I have such a good social network that is willing to help take care of me at this time,” he said. “It’s a small sacrifice.”

He likely won’t be bored: The published author said he might use the time to work on new books.

Cole is taking similar precautions, Goode said. His family came to visit — but dropped off food at the property line and never entered his home.

“We’re going to do what’s right for the people around us,” Goode said. “That’s our responsibility.”

The stripper said he was upbeat: “I’m just trying to stay positive.”

Not sure why you are getting on his case. This thread is growing #######s.

 
Not sure why someone makes a decision about the safety of their family, people have to mock them. Perhaps if you thought you were putting your wife and children at risk, no matter how small, you might do the same. I am sure he was advised by medical professionals of what the risks were

You're going to hit her with anthrax on top of the ebola? That's cold man.

They are trying to keep this all quiet as they fear repurcussions from those who may panic if they knew his situation. Unfortunately, being from a small town, word is already beginning to spread. He has to take his temperature each day and a nurse comes and views the thermometer through the window on the door. Also, he has to have groceries left on the porch, and he goes and picks them up once the delivery person has departed. Needless to say, this likely stands out to the neighbors. Hopefully no one decides they must "eliminate the threat" and do anything irrational. But with people today, you ever really know what they are capable of.

So, I'll go ahead and apologize in advance if I snap at anyone that is making light of the situation. I realize my viewpoint and anger level will probaby not be enitrely rational until his quarantine is up, he is fully healthy, and back with is family.
Unless he's sitting next to the nurse (within about 5 feet). He's a crazy, a drama queen or looking for an excuse to avoid his family and get a free vacation for a couple of weeks.Even if he's sitting beside the nurse his odds are very, very low considering she was not symptomatic.
I thought she had a fever. Isnt that a symptom?
Maybe she only had a fever for the flavor of a Pringle?
The only cure would be more cowbell
We'll I'm told she did fear the Reaper.

Get over it. Your nephew does not have ebola. Its a voluntary 21-day isolation. Nobody is forcing this on your nephew.

If you are angry over this, you should see someone professionally.
He entered the isolation because that's what the CDC recommended. Man, I admit, even I didn't realize just how much the FAA had becme full of ignorant, uncaring #######s nowadays. This place has become a freaking cesspool. I leave it to you all. You deserve each other.
