Ebola, news and discussion

[TruTexan]

Anya,
I wanted to personally thank you for sharing your opinions in this thread, I sorta picked up on your knowledge and lingo that you might have been in healthcare and have some real life experience in that field. I appreciate all the links you have given and the efforts you have made to make this thread be more complete in knowledge awareness.

I also want to thank those members here that are participating and giving more links with information.

I too am skeptical of the information we are receiving in the Local News here out of Dallas and the CDC. It seems they are running behind telling us more information. There was NOTHING on the 12'oclock news today of the Texas Presbytarian Healthcare worker that boarded a cruise ship and is now isolated and the ship is headed back to the US.

It is Beyond my own comprehension how these healthcare workers are taking slight in that they are being monitored for symptoms of Ebola and are just plane IGNORANT and are taking Public Transportation during their time of self monitoring. It makes me wonder what schools are releasing such idiots into the healthcare field.

I'm too an not so much afraid of the Virus itself, but the lack of concern and proper treatment handling by the Texas Healthcare system in Dallas.

I live only an hour from Dallas in a small town.

ETA: It just amazes me that the CDC HAS TO tell those healthcare workers to STAY OUT OF PUBLIC GATHERINGS, STAY OFF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, And NOT TO CONGREGATE IN PUBLIC VENUES. You would certainly THINK that they would have COMMON SENSE NOT TO DO THOSE THINGS because of the Field of work they are in and that the potential risks of EXPOSURE they have had to an EBOLA patient would be first and foremost on their minds and that common sense would kick in. Apparently the ones trying to travel just don't have any common sense or concern for others around them. I say lock their asses up in isolation until they "GET IT" in their thick heads and are passed the time of symptoms that would occur if they were infected. I"m just shaking my damn head here in awe of their stupidity.
