Ebola in Texas..

[bigrun]

Heard about this yesterday..scary..
Have 5 friends that live in Texas, one lives in San Antonio..Ebola story was lead on ABC eve news tonite..He sent me this note..

'Texas has a plan in place that would handle what to do with an outbreak of these viruses that are going around.
They are going to bring the infected people to a treatment center down the street from me.
Here's the news report, the reporter, at the end, is standing in front of the University hospital down the block from me, which is right next to the Audie Murphy VA Hospital, and a ton of other hospitals, schools, research centers etc.'

Unless it mutates and becomes airborne...I don't see it being much of a threat to most of the country.

Now it's possible it could 'trickle down' to South America to cities near the jungle...then the party begins. Think illegal aliens are bad now?

Pfffffffffffff *breathes* fffffffffffffft

He was reportedly vomiting uncontrolably outside the aprtment complex whist waiting for ambulance:

Cuz you know.... that's how it's spread. So who cleaned it up? Are they being quarantined as well? Did anyone even clean it up? How many pets/rodents/vermin came in contact with it?

Your dog stuck his nose in it while you weren't looking and came home and licked your face?
Stray cat walked through it and scratched your kid?
Cockroaches crawled through it and then spread it throughout the apartment building?

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Four days after he was placed in isolation at a hospital here, the apartment where he was staying with four other people had not been sanitized and the sheets and dirty towels he used while sick remained in the home. County officials visited the apartment without protection Wednesday night."

Of course not. He just got an extra 4 billion out of DirecTV.

And the savior has 94.1% of the country employed.

Check your priv...err priorities.

There were reports that it would be wrong to ban folks from those countries with ebola rampant to the US. Can someone please explain it to me . I am at a loss,

when they segregate horses at a track and donot allow them to ship out when there is an outbreak, how is this different ? I must be dense.

Always good to make a joke of something serious.

The first one:

"Boil all bodily fluids before consumption"

Another one:

"Avoid eating bat soup, which is actually pretty sound advice whether there’s an ongoing Ebola outbreak or not."

+ If outside the US and suspect you have contracted ebola, do whatever it takes (lie, even!) to get back stateside for treatment.

Bill Gates the richest man in the world at his finest..

And who said Obama does nothing..

Weeks ago, after the head of the Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Thomas Frieden, came back from Liberia with dire reports of the situation on the ground, President Obama sent the military to set up hospitals there.

And news here in VA..


Region considers what if Ebola shows up here.

Yes, and presently this is no punishment if you lie on documents filled out for entry

[Benny]

" COMMUNICABILITY: Communicable as long as blood, body fluids or organs, contain the virus. Ebolavirus has been isolated from semen 61 to 82 days after the onset of illness, and transmission through semen has occurred 7 weeks after clinical recovery Footnote 1 "

So much for 21 day monitoring
