The fear is not productive... It's not airborne no matter what Fox says.
Since you have minimal fear regarding Ebola how about changing places with me!! I am a Primary Care R.N. Triage Nurse, and as of this writing have received no training on Ebola PPE, and the only info that has come down my pike are a few generic Ebola e-mails from my powers that be that continue to say protocols are in the works. To add fuel to the fire, my little state has a sizeable West African population, and the largest per capital Liberian population in the US.

This R.N. has received more Ebola info on my rides home from work listening to Sean Hannity on the radio than I have from my own healthcare facility which is pretty pathetic.

For those praying for the Pope save a few of those prayers for me and my nursing colleagues as we can certainly use them.
