Ebola confirmed in the US

[buckeyegrad]

You really are the Apathetic Prophet of Doom! LOL
If I didn't know better I'd be suspicious of your motives.
Oh! Wait. You are the mod of the Political Forum aren't you?
Nothing like a little bleeding eye balls to motivate the base!

Right, because posting my current concerns about Ebola in Africa (not the US) on a random message board is going to influence anyone's voting behavior. Perhaps everything you do and say is politically motivated, but if that is the case: a) I feel sorry for you, and b) stop projecting your faults onto others.

Thanks for once again demonstrating how Taos=FAIL.

Patient #2 in Dallas flew with a mild fever, and the best part is, the CDC cleared her to take the flight. Because, why not?

Well, at least the past few days have taught us to be much more cautious in our conduct around Ebola victims. (Where's that sarcasm font?)

• Man dressed in shirt and pants seen on live television walking with Amber Vinson

• Surrounded by CDC staff and Vinson ALL dressed in hazmat suits

• Boarded the plane from Dallas to Atlanta after Vinson had boarded

Wonder where I can get me one of them there Ebola-proof clipboards.

And here he is, shown below, helping out the hazmat guys with, oh, some possibly contaminated something-or-other from the plane. Not to worry. He probably had a bottle of purell with him.

Mankind is doomed. Nature must only be keeping us around for laughs.

If that dude was 300lbs heavier I'd swear it was Hoke.

 

[Dryden]

It tough getting those biohazard bags open with the gloves on. Nice of that dude to help out.

Same dude?

Wife found out late last night that she is not to report to work today as the offices are closed for sanitizing. Word is a passenger on the airplane's return trip to Cleveland, after Vinson's flight to Dallas, is an employee at the two building complex where my wife works and she was at the site on Tuesday and most of yesterday. This seems like extreme precaution. I wonder if this is following CDC protocol or if it is the company's own risk management decision.

Gee! We would never think you had ulterior motives during an election year! I apologize for thinking that of you!
Please! Carry on trying to scare people!

And.

I'll place a blind bet on someone in the private sector having a brain vs a government agency being proactive, smart and efficient.

Hope all is ok with the wife.

In the private sector you under perform you usually get fired. Some times, if you don't "play the game" you get fired also. That has been my private sector experience. I wouldn't say it's a given that a guy in the private sector would be smarter than one hand picked in government. But I understand that people are very distrustful of government right now with a Congress with record low (7% approval ratings) and a lame duck President. But I think the CDC is in capable hands. And I'm not looking for a Zombie Apocalypse any time soon.
We all wish for continued good health for grad's wife. Health workers are the most vulnerable to disease. But they understand that comes with the territory. God bless them!

 

[buckeyegrad]

Please! Carry on trying to scare people!

So, talking about the reality in Africa is a scaring people?

And if the scale of the situation in Africa compared to past outbreaks does not convince you, and you think I'm being political, let me state this: I am very glad and supportive of Obama's decision to send US troops to west Africa in order to help contain the outbreak.

 

[BIATCHabutuka]

There is no good spin so it is stop scaring people you hear out of the brainwashed masses.

I see no scaring at all, just stating of facts.

Hell more American's approve of closing down flights from the hot zones than gun control. Where is the non stop media message on that? Did someone forget to pay the propaganda bill this month?

What does the private sector having consequences have to do with the private sector guy not necessarily being smarter than the .gov employee? With logic like that , I am assuming you work for the government. You realize by filtering out the bad, you are left with the good. Damn near like evolution really.

You think the CDC is in capable hands, care to support that position. What specifically led you to forming that opinion? Try to filter out the propaganda that led you there and think it through for yourself before not replying.


If I were as lax with safety as a private employer, I would face personal liability.

The government is allowed to poison Clarity, no big deal.

Protocol, schmotocol.

Bunch of finger pointers.



You want to know how to spot the least talented guy in a private sector company, he is the one that looks to find blame when things go wrong instead of finding the guy who fixed the problem and shaking his hand and saying thank you.

Generally we fire those dumbasses and get them into the public sector as fast as possible. Sometimes it is a gov job, but most of the time it is a no work / no show job like in the mafia. Some call it welfare. Some call it unemployment. Some call it disability. All of it is a handout from my pocket at gunpoint.

Our government is the most inefficient organization on the planet.

Citizens of about 150 backwards nations are ROFLing right now. Gotta conclude you and Taos found the same source of kick-ass weed.
