A little context for those of us not in the US would be helpful …

Gail Combs covers it well in an earlier post comment.

That’s a fair request, truthseeker. Here is some context:
To protect the medical staff from the patients’ incidentally discharged bodily fluids and feces is important and the Center for Disease Control has protocols for that:
http://www.steynonline.com/6604/protocol-theatre
See the man with the clipboard in the picture. He is the keeper of the Protocols. He follows the Ebola patient around and makes sure that everyone abides by the Protocols.
Some years ago, a problem with the original Protocols was identified. They did not cover cases when such discharges of fluids and feces were intentional. There were public health emergencies in the United States involving thrown feces, e.g. here:
http://www.monkeyday.org/2009/01/feces-throwing-monkey-on-loose-in-tampa.html
Our federal health authorities reacted quickly and decisively to this emerging threat and the National Institute of Health awarded federal funding in the amount of $593,000 to a primate research center to study where in chimpanzees’ brains they get the idea to throw their feces.

The bottom line is, they are professionals and they have it covered. You don’t need to worry yourself. We are safe.
Sure, make the girl that spews Ebola virus from her eyes cry for your video. Great idea.
A third US case?

Whoever reported on this memo for Canadian Journal needs to be fired or reassigned to administrative duties. And so does the editor who signed off on it. They misquoted the memo as supposedly saying the boyfriend has “Ebola-like symptoms”. The memo has no such quote, and in fact says,
It is hard for me to believe this was not deliberate, and if it was deliberate, it constitutes an intentional effort to cause a panic by maliciously reporting false information. While there may indeed be cause for panic at some point, this misquoting is outrageous and shameful.

Ebola is transmitted by liquid (body fluid) contact.
The nurse(?) is wearing a hood with supplied room air going through, my guess, a HEPA filter. If not, it offers no more protection than a face shield. Ebola isn’t an airborne contaminant.
The jacket is tucked into the gloves and the interface is not sealed. Ebola is a liquid contact contaminant. In any HAZMAT training or real I’ve been involved with, you put the sleeves over the gloves and then seal the opening with tape. Even if you are just transferring hazardous materials and are wearing impervious coverings like a rain suit, rubber gloves and a mask, you don’t tuck the sleeves into the gloves. A sure way to channel liquids into the gloves. Even if you are wearing multiple gloves.
Correction. I got a larger picture and the sleeves look like they are over the gloves.
I am praying for this little gal to recover from this terrible disease.
In the meantime, perhaps she should have just taken a Carnival Cruise instead?

Over the past two weeks there have been reports of patients with ebola like symptoms all over the US. I suspect there are many more than 2 patients. There are somewhere between 700 and 1000 people flying into the US from West African countries every week.
One of the stories I read discussed how the cafe at the Dallas Presbyterian hospital is a ghost town. No one wanting to go sit where a potentially infected care giver has just sat…. or may have touched food.
The economic devastation that will come from a significant outbreak can literally shut down an economy to nothing. By refusing to halt flights, this is what Obungo and his minions hope for.
Remember, you can’t get Ebola by casual contact, but the airlines will be contacting you anyway. Also remember, you can infect others with Ebola by casual contact, but go ahead and travel if your fever is <100.4°.Disease Control is in Control, Centrally! Really, the political hacks in charge of CDC has contradicted themselves this blatantly.

She did receive a transfusion from the doc who first beat the virus. Thomas Duncan was the wrong blood type for a transfusion. I think she will also get Zmapp. So, her chances are fair. The other two patients who got the transfusion survived. This is likely the best way to fight the disease.
I wish her well. Our nurses, doctors and the many unheralded health care workers have a difficult job and deserve our praise and support.
That was my first thought when I read about Ms. Pham’s case. I’m praying for your recovery, Nina!
I, too, have been praying for the Ebola victims, and those who’ve been in contact with them.
