[QUOTE=cologal;957432]The difference is those people were put into a 21 day isolation period but travelled anyway. This doctor was NOT in mandated isolation!! He did do follow the procedure for medical workers who return home by taking his temperature twice day and reported the fever when it was only 100.3.
Please don't bash our medical hero's.....[/QUOTE]

He stopped being a hero to ME when he didn't keep himself away from others. If his fiancé' was YOUR daughter, I would think you would be quite nervous. I NEVER expect anyone else to do something that I wouldn't do myself.
THERE is no cure, as I said. Apparently the body can fight it off, but only in a very small percentage of cases. Keeping the body hydrated is just about the only support that can be given, along with steroids. That isn't a medical cure, it is plain old cussed luck.
And Sandtrap, yes, I. like most people, have my flu shot, my pneumonia shot and my shot for Herpes Zoster. Those kinds of things are not deadly to the overwhelming percentage of the population even if contracted.
The New England Journal of Medicine says that Ebola is deadly in 70 to 90 percentage of cases.
So YES Sandtrap, at this time YOU are in no danger, but the potential for danger is there. I hope you win and you can gloat. I so hope it.
