as a manufacturer of plastic fabrics used in suits like these in ebola and radiation, this is good for business. not quite a job creator yet, but an overtime creator.

silver lining in everything. . . . .

He may be an infectious disease specialist, but he would be a horrible manager. He is there to do the labor (doctoring) not the management function. I don't value his opinion as a manager much at all based on the horrible logic / propaganda.


In theory, you can treat people with fairly good outcomes.

For that theory to be applicable, you need to have available capacity to serve.

Any slight spreading of this and you will see hospital capacity dry up faster than we could react effectively.


It is best to forcibly shut down their borders than try to clean up any mess that leaks out.

No offense, but I would trust an educated , experienced expert like him over just another poster on the internet.

I guess I don't see the argument here...he is basically saying that early detection and aggressive care will minimize death...don't need to be an expert to state the obvious.

True enough. But it's aggravating to see the dismissal of experts time and again by people who are non-experts. I don't know if it's a just carry over of the whole distrust in government thing or just being argumentative on the internets.
My belief has always been to "trust the experts" whether it's working on your car, your teeth or the CDC. That is common sense.
YMMV

Good news on the homefront:

http://news.yahoo.com/york-doctor-now-free-ebola-discharged-hospital-150150706.html

The discharge of Dr. Craig Spencer, 33, who worked with Ebola patients in Guinea and had been held in isolation at Bellevue Hospital Center since he was diagnosed with the virus on Oct. 23, means no one in the United States is being treated for the disease.

Still very serious and scary situation in West Africa:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/11/06/sierra-leone-ebola-rising/18587607/

Sierra Leone is reporting an increase in the number of new Ebola cases, with 435 confirmed in the past week.

About 24% of the Ebola cases in Sierra Leone have been reported in the past three weeks, although the outbreak began in March, according to the World Health Organization.

Those stark figures contrast with the hopeful news last week from Liberia, where the number of new cases has been falling. Officials at the WHO have said the drop in Liberia could be partly due to an increase in safe burials.

Ebola transmission in Guinea, where the outbreak started, "remains intense," according to the WHO.

Roll call?

Back from Sierra Leone after a less-than-relaxing vacay.

Not feeling all that well. My fever's up to about 102 and my throat's a bit sore, but I'm picking up some cold remedy at the Wal-Mart, so everything should be copacetic.

I think its just the bukkake, you'll be right as rain in no time.

Now that The Great Ebola Plague of 2014 is over we can concentrate on something more important ...like Buckeye football!
And The Walking Dead!
