Well, “may have” handled ebolas.

I say we seal off Texas, except for the illegals coming through, that wouldnt be fair to them.
Does she still have to tip each and every person on the ship?
Having recently been on a Caribbean cruise, I can say (with confidence) that 50% of the surfaces you come into casual contact with have been touched or handled by 90% of the people on board - exact numbers, BTW. Given that the “experts” can’t get their collective story straight on the real transmission of the disease, I think it’s fair to assume that 100% of those on board will have ebolas when they return to port.

UT Austin (I’m not a student, however) sent out an email this morning saying a student was on the same flight as the nurse but doesn’t show any symptoms. Of course people are freaking out now…

The article reads that it’s a lab supervisor, where did you see any mention of a Nurse?

The story has since been edited. It said “nurse” in the original.

Nice.

If I was the lab supervisor the day that Ebola came in, my first thought would be “I need a vacation”

My second thought would be…where can I go so that I may come in contact with the maximum amount of people who have nowhere else to go. /sarc
That makes sense.
Why not just extend the cruise they are on for another 10 or 20 days until they are sure she doesn’t have it.
If she does have it then they could send it to search for flight 370?
I’m curious about what health care workers are supposed to do after they care for a patient with Ebola.
Do they go sit at home for 21 days?
If they have a family, do they sit in a hotel?
Do they come back to work and care for people who don’t have Ebola?
If they can come back to work, why wouldn’t they be able to travel?
What happens when Ebola comes to NYC, where everyone rides the subway to work? The Ebola nurses sleep at the hospital?
That is one of the reasons the two patients were transfered ( as well as rumors that they existing staff) did not want to risk exposure. Apx 75 people were involved in the care of the original patient. The protocol they are following is those care givers can not care for another patient. Not many Hospitals would be able to have that many people unable to do their jobs and still be properly staffed

That’s potentially devastating. During a real outbreak, “traditional diseases” aren’t going to go away. We’d have to hold normal staffing levels, in addition to “Ebola staffing.” I don’t think we could do it.

Oh, I don’t know. How about hanging out for a week in a confined space with 3000 other people?
Ebola! Exciting and new.
Come aboard, we’re expecting you!
Fevers, Illness sweetest reward
Let it ooze, it oozes back to you
Ebola soon will be making another run
Ebola promises death for everyone
Set a course for adventure
Your mind on a new medicine
Ebola might hurt everyone
It’s an open sore on a friendly shore
Yes, love
It’s love

A woman in our office said she went to Presby Hospital for a check up or something last week. S he said it was a ghost town and was in/out in under 15 mins when it usually takes close to an hour. I’ve also heard that other area hospitals are getting crushed by patients that would normally go to Presby by are now going elsewhere. It’s going to be an interesting long term situation to see how the hospital gets past this and what is seeming to be perceived as mismanagement and incompetence to a certain degree.
