But don't worry, I saw an article that said her dog is doing fine. Yay.

Read my post CAREFULLY. Do a little bit of reading on the side, think about it, then open the pie hole. You are running separate possibilities together like a liberal looking for a reason to talk. #1 was focused on the possibility of mental illness in an individual, not a government conspiracy. #2 concerned the possibility of the government conspiracy.
And yes, as a Navy Corpsman I have worked in healthcare, and although not personally specializing in it, I worked with psycological operations.


Couple weeks old, but an interesting read on how they are tracking the spread in Africa.

I get what you're saying for sure, it just strikes a nerve with me. Healthcare workers are on the front lines of this and are unfortunately paying the price. I just think it's disrespectful to even hint that she did it on purpose when she's fighting for her life even if it was just a tin foil hat joke. Knowing what types of precautions and protocols are normally followed for other types of no contact patients that hospitals see such as AIDS, Tuberculosis, etc, and that healthcare workerss don't normally catch those diseases from their patients, it does seem rather odd that these cases are suddenly popping up.

My theory is that the nurses weren't properly warned that they were dealing with an Ebola patient. It's funny how the CDC is so quick to say it's their fault because they didn't follow protocol. When a no contact patient arrives at the hospital normally everbody is immediately warned and anybody dealing with that patient takes all precautions needed. Another reason I think this is that staff at one of the major hospitals here have been getting asked by the higher ups if they'd be willing to treat an Ebola patient if they had to. Now why would you go around asking that?

/tinfoil hat on/

OK, so you're in charge of a small African country with a rampaging epidemic of one of the deadliest, incurable diseases known to man going on. The first world is throwing you crumbs for support and debating the cost while your people are dying in the streets. To them it's a 'third world problem'.

Those same countries don't even seem to think they are capable of catching this disease. In their arrogance and short-sightedness they leave open the commercial airline routes into their own heartlands.

So, as dictator you decide to make them feel some of your pain. Not to end the world or anything, but simply to make them put some skin in the game.

You find a few people that want to travel, and surreptitiously expose them to the virus (as we've seen, it doesn't take much). Put them on the next flight out and then sit back and see what happens.

A week or so later, cases start popping up in the US. The money and resources in finding vaccinations, treatments and cures are now more than the combined GNP of all the countries affected in Africa. More aid is being sent your way as developed nations scramble to end the epidemic at it's source.

Congratulations, you have successfully made an epidemic the developed world was ignoring until it burnt itself out, into a first-world crises.

/tin foil hat off/

Of all the tinfoil nonsense spouted in this thread, at least that theory doesn't require someone being COMPLETELY insanse.

Apparently the newest victim flew on Frontier Airlines flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth on Monday and was hospitalized with Ebola on Tuesday.. Yeah

WHY ARE WE STILL LETTING ANYBODY FROM WEST AFRICA IN?????????
Charter flights for humanitarian aid, but stop killing US citizens because of political correctness.

You are either responsible for your own life, or you have a victim mentality. This is not 1982. If anyone working in an urban hospital thinks they are safe, they are fools, and probably also missed the meeting/memo on Ebola.

FYI. 1982 was when I first had contact with a patient and fellow corpsman who turned out to have AIDS. I worked the derm cases for H&S H&S 3rd FSSG. He had shingles that cleared and came back. I thought enough about it to speak with an MD on the phone about it.

I don't think it is about PC. I think there is a deeper purpose. Perhaps a reason for "change you can count on."
Make sure your powder is dry and your fields of fire are cleared.

This is scary. This administration should have locked down the borders immediately. Established a quarantine zones at international airports in the US for anyone suspected of having visited West Africa.

Better bring back any military personnel deployed or projected to deploy to Africa. They're going to be needed here.

The Left has bashed Bush for years about having knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Well, how about they raise a little Cain about open borders and failure to impose strict restrictions on travel from Ebola ground zero from day one. Hey, he knew it was there. He knew it was spreading. He did nothing.

Talk about a legacy.

I don't even know what to say anymore. I think we've derailed this train. What you took from what I said, is that I have a victim mentality? All because I said your tin foil hat theory was insane? Gotcha. Yeah I am aware of the year, but thanks for the reminder. I figured since you had the craziest tin foil hat theory of this entire thread, that you'd be willing to accept mine a little bit. All I am saying is that I think the CDC/government aren't being honest about any of this, specifically on how it's transmitted. I think there's more to the story about why that hospital wasn't prepared and didn't follow protocol. But you'll never hear anything out of me as insane as saying the nurse did it on purpose because she had mental issues or part of a government conspiracy.

By the way, I never said healthcare professionals at urban hospitals thought they were safe. And there have been plenty of meetings on Ebola. All I said was, protocols are in place for other contact related diseases and are followed very strictly. You rarely hear of somebody in that field having a disease transmitted from them from treating a patient. That is until this last week with that one Ebola patient. I think we're going to see that number go up exponentially too.
