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. :wink:
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!

Ask nurses how much confidence they have in the CDC right now.

It will be lower than congressional approval rating I assure you.

Here's a fun one to think about if (god forbid) anyone you know gets it: the nurses in wifes unit probably will refuse to treat you because they aren't getting any training on protocols.What little they are seeing is so unworkable they are concerned with the mental capacity of those who designed it.

what kind of moron doctor ordered dialysis for the liberian dude anyway.

at some point you need to do the math, you aren't saving his life and you are risking others. at best you were churning his account for fees.

the only humane treatment at that point would be to knock him out and then cremate him. perhaps you harvest blood / tissue if it can help others.

nothing more, nothing less.

effective leadership, not effeminate leadership.

What is everyone so worked up about?

CDC is on the case. Obama is in off the campaign trail and making solemn vows.

What could possibly go wrong?

On the other hand, she should not have been contagious during any of those activities.

I am not sure if you need to be a LinkedIn member to see the following link, but it is a very interesting take on the Ebola crisis and how this or future crisis could be averted. It also addresses certain discussion points in this thread.

Unfortunately the article does not come up for me. If it addresses certain discussion points and this thread, i'm hoping that one of them is to request that Taos get a clue.

The WMD biosurveillance prototype, dubbed Constellation, harvests, synthesizes and visualizes data of interest across the military and intelligence communities, according to Pentagon officials.

Through Constellation, "information gathered from WMD threat reduction activities, when integrated with other relevant U.S. government and international partner information, will provide decision-makers and operational personnel a holistic view of the WMD landscape," Andrew Weber, assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical and biological defense programs, told a House Armed Services panel this spring.

Weber said Tuesday the Pentagon has built on the original concept to create an online portal, which will be used by nongovernmental organizations and governments "most affected by the Ebola outbreak" as well as Defense Department laboratories involved in the response.
