lol - not a funny subject at all but surely you aren't asking me for longer posts with links added! Aren't they already long enough?!?
Seriously, my posts are usually so long I rarely add source links except when I post whole articles; but then neither do most other posters on this thread. But if anyone wants them, they can either google the terms and find them easily online where I get them. In this case, once I heard Dr. Lyon say "wimpy" in a DVR'd show from CNN, I googled his phrase "Ebola is a wimpy virus" and got hits on a variety of people also using it about Ebola virus outside its host. If someone here or anywhere uses a term or makes a statement I might question in regard to a given subject, I usually google it along with the subject under discussion to learn more about that line of thinking rather than go by a single link.
You know, I heard an infectious disease expert just now say on Jake Tapper's show on CNN that in the area where the disease is so pervasive and the healthcare workers keep getting the disease despite taking precautions, that they often work 20 hours per shifts in the stifling heat, that many are fearful, all the while often wearing restrictive, hot PEP's, working with such severely ill patients or their bodily products disposing of them or doing labs -
he said they probably catch the disease due to inadequate training, fatigue/exhaustion from long hours in the heat and stress causing not every protocol to always be followed, or the protective gear/equipment/measures being inadequate or faulty.
He said not that many physicians, healthcare workers (or, for that matter, administrator types) want to go to West Africa to work the epidemic, do the paperwork, order medicine and proper equipment and supplies, coordinate staffing, equipment repair, etc. And of those that do want to go, their families beg them not to. Mostly they have just been on their own over there trying to get through this until some American providers/workers and some other countries began to help out.
