Ebola in Texas.

You know, I didn't check this thread for straight days and do you know what I realized? I didn't think about it once, and I was happy. I'm out, you guys have fun with your tinfoil hats and your bunkers. I won't do it anymore.

lol

Ignorance is bliss. A slow, painful, blissful death.

"We're screwed!"

CDC spokesliar says "we can control it".

They can no more control ebola than they can control government spending.

“We’re not today providing the steps that we plan to take, but I can assure you that we will be taking additional steps, and we will be making those public in the coming days, once we can work out the details,” he said.

Why did he say this? Why not wait until there is a plan in place and then announce?

What we should be doing is pulling ALL of our people out of the affected areas in Africa and let ebola burn out over time.

Some of the linked videos that follow yours are pretty wild.

That was kind of funny though. But kind of not.

Ebola, electronic medical records, and Epic Systems

A Dallas hospital’s bizarre bungle of the first U.S. case of Ebola leaves me wondering: Is someone covering up for a crony billionaire Obama donor and her controversy-plagued, taxpayer-subsidized electronic medical records company?

Quote, "If the D.C. test comes back positive, we're screwed". Did I hear that correctly? Ebola suspected in Washington DC ? I guess it is worst than I suspected. I want to thank the posters for bringing this to my attention.

Ebola, electronic medical records, and Epic Systems

This was the screw up in Dallas. EMR systems show specific information to people who need to see it. In Dallas the information did not get shared with everyone who needed the information. I was in a meeting yesterday at one of our hospitals and this was brought up with how to fix it. It has nothing to do with Obamacare, EMR's have been in use for years, they are now required under Obamacare (they used to be optional). The big problem with EMR's is lack of actually communicating, just like Facebook, Twitter have done to masses around the world, EMR's have done the same thing in hospitals. People still need to communicate i.e. talk to each other. This is a people problem not a technology problem.

One more thing for everyone thinking they know what hell they are talking about. DO NOT BUY YOUR N95 RESPIRATOR AT HOME DEPOT OR LOWES.

Flitration is only part of the equation on N95's, when dealing with aerosolized droplets (key word is droplet) your respirator must be fluid resistant. Again an N95 is used when doing patient care procedures or in close proximity to aerosol generation. The general construction N95's are not fluid resistant. You need to look for something called ASTM F2100. For Ebola (again when performing aerosol generating procedures) you need ASTM F2100 Level 3 (160mm Hg) or higher for proper protection. 3M 1860 and 1870 N95 Respirators meet this standard. Most medical N95's meet this standard, construction ones do not. Know the problem and know the solution.

I don't want to sound like a dick here, but there is some pretty shitty information out there. One website says a full face respirator is required, BULLSHIT. The site they pulled that information from says a Respirator is required. The problem is many dumbfucks think a respirator is a gas mask or half mask. An N95 IS a Respirator, this is what the source website was saying, an N95 is needed in late stages of Ebola, a full face respirator with a P100 filter is not. One site said you needed an Organic Vapor cartridge for Ebola.

Two infected, two dead in Spain.

To those in the know, is a standard issue M40 gas mask sufficient?
