re: A Dallas hospital worker now has Ebola

Head in the sand OT posted gonna head in the sand.

'It won't reach the us' wrong
'It's easily treatable here' wrong
'It won't spread' wrong
'Y'all are overreacting' wrong
'That one person with Ebola had it before coming here.. No one catches Ebola here' wrong
'The CDC has this on lock'

The overreaction is hilarious

Y'all are dumb. This has just gotten exponentially worse

But now, the search begins for all the contacts whom that worker came in contact with.

"We need a whole new crew of people to do contact tracing," said Elizabeth Cohen, CNN senior medical correspondent.

It's probably not as bad as some are making it to be. There's only been 4,000 deaths out of 7 billion people so far from this illness, and the majority of those were in crappy countries. I don't see this thing killing millions of people in America.

If this healthcare worker dies everyone will shite themselves.

I see and work with a LOT of Nigerians. I imagine it was a staffer from the ER that sent him home. They never wore anything. Living in Houston it is only a matter of time. And with the holidays coming. Many will be traveling.

I know a nurse who works in a school (private) that boards kids. About 20 Nigerians are in that population. 5 have plans to travel home.

As a 15 year healthcare employee I will tell you after I hear who this worker is and how they got it I may get actually scared. If they die? My hand will be hovering over my panic button. I've worn PPE a million times but never the type "Outbreak" shite CDC workers have. I'd be curious to know what type equipment the folks who cared for Duncan had?

Any old TB Sanitoriums still standing? Time to clean those frickers up for company. Wonder how much patient exposure occurred. Meaning did this guy have a 1:1 ratio for ALL who cared for him? I doubt it.

So exactly how many people has the hospital worker been in contact with at the hospital over the last week or so? And those people?

This might get real ugly.

Well, the hospital said it was one of their workers with all the PPE. That's a bad sign.

You aren't contagious when you are asymptotic...for the millionth fricking time

Didn't decontaminate properly. That's how most of the health care workers are getting it.

Talk of a close contact of the newly infected also possibly infected. On phone or would link it.
