Can't help trusting a story written by a guy named "Staff writer."

 

How rampant is this in West Africa? How easy is it to expose someone? Does Dallas handle all air traffic from that part of the world? Big-time, very easy and hell no. And yet we have, what, three cases now?

 

Even if it's speculation, it's picked up by Al-Arabiya; we're talking about people who value martyrdom and the conquest of the west by any means possible. Pretty logical to me, whether it happens today or next year.

 

I wonder if Jesse Jackson was exposed to the virus.

 

It was complete hubris when they told us a few months ago that any hospital in the U.S. would be able to stop Ebola in its tracks.
But this gang is nothing if not about hubris.

 

A new survey conducted by the National Nurses Union shows US hospitals may not be adequately prepared to handle Ebola patients, should the virus continue to spread. Out of the 2,200 nurses who responded to the union's questionnaire, 85 percent reported that their hospitals had not provided education on Ebola. 76 percent said their institution had no policy for how to admit and handle patients potentially infected with the virus. More than a third claimed their hospitals didn't have enough safety supplies, including eye protection and fluid resistant gowns.

I'm tired of the nurse union whining that the blame shouldn't be on the nurse, like it's not possible it could be her fault. Why can't it be the nurse's fault or at least an aspect in why she got infected? Maybe it's both. Maybe the nurse made a mistake and the hospital's policies and procedures aren't adequate.

 

Nurses have every right to complain about not having been adequately trained or equipped. They're on the front lines and at the greatest risk.

 

Agreed. But that doesn't mean the nurse wasn't at fault.

 

There are active policy and practices in training ranging from quarantine procedures and handling of biohazards that are part of regular training in every hospital.

 

Nurses were dealing with Duncan's projectile vomiting and diarrhea without proper safety implements, and then attending to other patients.
The hospital didn't have a great reputation to begin with.
