Oh my......now another in the US. Four hrs ago.
Patient with Ebola symptoms enters Washington hospital.....
A patient with symptoms that could be associated with the deadly Ebola virus and a recent travel history to Nigeria was admitted Friday to a Washington-area hospital, a spokeswoman told AFP. We can confirm that a patient has been admitted to Howard University Hospital in stable condition, following travel to Nigeria and presenting with symptoms that could be associated with Ebola," said Howard University spokeswoman Kerry-Ann Hamilton.
"In an abundance of caution, we have activated the appropriate infection control protocols, including isolating the patient." No further details were released about the patient....snip~

Again, 99% of those three thousand cases are in Africa, primarily in the countries I've already listed. It's the same thing with HIV/AIDS. Yes there are cases here in the US, but the disease is contained here. However in Africa, it's one of the biggest threats to their continued existence. Hell, almost 5% of the population today either has HIV/AIDS.
As far as the nurses go, look, it's just cause this is the new flashy disease, and they've been listening to the hype and are of course scared of it. Nurses are already trained on how to take care of patients with AIDS; if you take the precautions as normal then your fine. Let me say it this way; you cannot catch Ebola simply by being in the same room as someone with it.
But as long as it's the Africans that's fine right? You did say you favored letting it burn out in Africa right?
Your approach will make problems here more likely. Not less.
Yeah, well whats one suppose to say when Nurses are reporting some hospitals don't even have enough protective gear.
Never miss a chance to discredit the president do you? I'll sat this, at least you're consistent.
It could also be influenza, as the majority of these "ebola symptoms" actually have.
Don't freak out about everyone who gets the flu. That's what the media wants you to do.
Obama is responsible for his appointments. He is tasked with appointing competent people, you would think he would have gotten lucky by now and appointed someone who knew what the hell they were doing.
Case in point...the following interview between Matt Lauer and CDC Director Dr Tom Friedman..
Director: CDC monitoring a 'handful' of people connected to US Ebola case - Health - TODAY.com
Enough for what?
What do you reckon they don't throw their gloves out, change the bedding, or take any of the universal precautions that any hospital or ambulance does in modern civilized world?
Get government out of the Ebola threat.
Do you have any idea how staggeringly unlikely it is that someone would get infected from that water?
Another 30 percent said their hospital has insufficient supplies of eye protection and fluid-resistant gowns.....snip~
Looks like enough to go around they are saying.
I suppose the military-hating Marxist on the golf course had to send four thousand troops to ebola country instead of preventing people from ebola country from entering the US.Yes, that's what they signed up for.
You haven't been in the military?
Why? You know it's a risk when you sign up - historically in wars, disease kills more soldiers than battle.
I think it is time for the welfare recipients to do their share.We need to spend money for updated equipment and training.
How do conservatives propose we pay for it? Tax cuts for the rich and the Laffer curve?

Oh I am sure they do.....as I am sure there is a Bio hazard bag for them to dump their stuff in. Do you think they wore masks when the guys was sneezing, or coughing or vomiting?
Do you think they knew to disinfect the Ambulance for any other patients they picked up?

They always disinfect them. Moreover, if the guy was coughing a lot they would have put masks on. Finally, even if they were exposed, they would not pass the disease onto anyone else until they were symptomatic.
This fearmongering over ebola is ridiculous. People need to HTFU and quit being irrationally afraid of everything.
What do you think about these Nurses and what they are saying? Should managers of hospitals be listening? Didn't the CDC say American Hospitals are ready and able to deal with this?
Yeah, well whats one suppose to say when Nurses are reporting some hospitals don't even have enough protective gear.
Dang! Even the thought that they went right back out to do their job and take care of other people within in hours.
We know how they took extra precaution in cleaning up at the apartment where the guy got sick. Ever use a power washer? Splashes on everything in the general area, anyone could walk in all the water draining away and these guys weren't protected. Yet the White House assured us we had nothing to worry about.
Well let me Ask you just how they did this disinfect this ambulance.....if they left the hospital and went out on another call. Then returned later to pick Duncan up a second time?
See I have family member that worked as Firehouse Paramedic. So I kind of know their drill.
