All the people with a compromised immune system had better get in the second line, becvause if all these experta have guessed wrong, or if that virus mutates just a smidgeon, well they wont be quite so cavalier. Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 10-31-2014 at 03:35 PM. | |

Where people's lives and the liberty of even one American is the issue, yes, emotions and opinions become strong and heated during discussions. But on a public forum, spirited words never should be intended to hurt or or taken personally during open, public debates unless one person makes a frank, ad hominem attack on another or infers or implies mean or ugly things about another person - which can really hurt those who've been so impugned. Otherwise, we all post essentially "walking on eggshells", overly concerned our words will be misunderstood or taken wrong by one or more people and our freedom to speak our minds becomes tailored-to-please the majority and stilted. I apologized for my phrasing though it wasn't intended in any wrong way to disrespect you or anyone else personally. So, whether or not we trust Hickox, at least to this point, she nor Dr. Fauci or any other Ebola nurses, doctors, aids working with Ebola patients in America, show no evidence of being a health risk to others and the very moment one of them does, isolate that person, test and begin immediate treatment if Ebola is suspected or diagnosed.

| I just heard on our local news that Nina Pham's little Bentley was released from quarantine at midnight and that she can reunite with him at 9:00 a.m. today. There will be live coverage of it! Her one "human contact" has been cleared also though the CDC are still monitoring 76 people. I can't wait to see Bentley's reaction when he sees her again. He's been such a trooper during all of this - only getting to have contact with a person through layers of protective gear.

If some people don't run fever(and what reading constitutes "fever", who takes it and records it, with what instrument), they mostly do get other symptoms and know they are sick and go into one of the isolation/treatment programs to try to save their lives. If all of the data is correct - and we don't know that yet - some 13% of patients are said not to get fever or have any symptoms at all, or spew vast quantities of bodily fluids, so how are they going to spread the disease to others? And are their titers even truly high enough to be contagious should they somehow get bodily fluid into us? The only way the totally asymptomatic could spread Ebola is by a single droplet of sneezed/coughed mucus or blood during a cut landing in our orifices or on our body which we then wipe into our mouth, nose, eyes or that slips through an opening in the skin? Will there be enough viral load in that droplet to actually sicken us if the one who spread it to us isn't even sick, spewing vast quantities of bodily fluids or running fever, titering high levels of virus? Theoretically, some say it's possible, but also say their chances of contagion of their asymptomatic Ebola case would be infinitesimally small as they aren't spewing virus everywhere. Studies being quoted by those making dire predictions depend on accurate history and accurate record keeping in West Africa, are often taken from scared/grieving family, friend, neighbor of a very sick or dead patient and don't even know the circumstances surrounding how a patient got the disease as they weren't observing their lives 24/7 for the past 21 days or even know what symptoms they had. Others lie to protect the family from stigma. The medical investigators taking Ebola histories, keeping records are often whomever the agency running the clinic can get to work there for a few hours or days, ask the questions and record the data and those respected, credible doctors and nurses working in the field today understand that the history of the disease given about any patient under those conditions may be specious, incomplete. The data-keepers over there also know that more reported cases will bring more help and funding. I far more trust the histories/records/data kept in the Western/European countries right now while good record keeping personnel are hard to come by in West Africa.

| Just saw Bentley kissing his Nina on the chin and her holding him in he arms. They look so happy and his little tail is just wagging!!! During the speeches, with the major holding him and him kissing the mayor, while Nina is talking, he's just taking the crowd in like a pro. Nine looks like a million dollars! You'd never know she was so sick so recently.

And this is why I am so fearful of it. I have a disabled child who has a repaired heart defect. I have thyroid disorder which sadly does affect my immune system. People need to be thinking about others instead of just themselves! I am being cautious. People can call me silly if they want to. However, I teach science and I know what can happen. This virus is capable of doing WWWAAAAYYYY more than people are understanding. I do not think we are being told everything. I think we will find out a lot more about AFTER the elections!!! Because that is the main concern right now!

| Now it seems she has become a "Joan of Arc" for all the returning Health Care Workers, telling them all there is no choice but to fight this quarantine idea! So she has REALLY opened up a can of worms, as far as the general public's health fears are concerned. Dont guess we can "write in" the PM of Canada, along with his Health Department, on the ballot on Nov 4th!!! How refreshing to have a government that makes a decision, creats a law, then stands by it with enforcment. Canada just canceled exit visas for anyone returning to Canada that has taken care of ebola patients, without first going thru the 21 day quarantine, as advised by the CDC. THAT is what should be done....keep these "heros" over there until they meet the 21 day quarantine requirements to re-enter this country, then we dont have to concern ourselves with this big mouth. We have not heard the end from this arrogant, defiant, selfish, unprofessional nurse, who has no regard or concern for what the people in THIS country fear or think. It is all about HER. She has successfully challenged and defied three politicians and "won", so she is now going to be a loose cannon that she thinks, cant be stopped. Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 11-02-2014 at 01:00 PM. |

I realized yesterday that the hysteria surrounding Ebola probably would have been nonexistant if Thomas Duncan would have been treated properly. What would the news been able to feed on then "Man treated for Ebola in TX Hospital Released"? Does that spread concern and fear.

These quotes are paraphrased and the numbers may be off just a tad, but I think these are the headlines that have the rest of the world fearful, even terrified, in some countries. Then of course there is the headline that told us of some plan that is being "quietly" floated around about bringing non citizens infected with ebola to the United States for treatment. THESE headlines are the cause of our fears! | |
