[QUOTE=tuccillo;951997]It is hard to get. It dies quickly outside the body. You need a fluid exchange. We can disagree on the definition of "hard to get" but you need direct contact with an infected person and they not contagious until symptoms develop. It could be much easier to be infected.
The virus has survived for at least 21 days outside the body |

The newest evidence is that it can be spread by small aerosol particles. Coughs, Sneezes, spit, etc this is not a good sign.

This R.N. agrees with you!! What perplexes me about the entire Duncan case is that the only treatment for Ebola is supportive which includes oxygen to support the respiratory system, fluids and electrolytes to prevent dehydration, early anticoagulant therapy to prevent DIC, late procoagulant therapy to combat hemorrhage, and antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial and fungal infections. If a patient does not show early response to early treatment and then begin to deteoriate with the predictable outcome death, why on earth was Duncan invasively intubated and put on a vent, given hemodialysis, probably had an A-line, numerous IVs, a foley catheter, NG tube, etc, etc. ; more opportunities for fatally infectious body fluids to exit the body and infect another. I really wonder if these heroic measures were done to compensate for initially sending Duncan home the first go around, or were they trying to keep him alive to buy time in the hopes of getting some experimental drug or serum from Ebola survivor Dr. Brantly to adminster to him.

And then there are the Race Hustlers, who incite non-thinking people into screaming racism on every single malady that occurs to them, because there is money to be gotten from those claims, and in the always-brewing "Reparations" we supposedly owe the present-day "victims". "The family of Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to die of Ebola on U.S. soil, joined the Rev. Jesse Jackson at his Rainbow Push headquarters to call foul on the treatment Mr. Duncan received.Family of Thomas Eric Duncan says his death from Ebola is ‘racially motivated’ | WGN-TV |

[QUOTE=murray607;95
I can't help but think back to the SARS epidemic, when it was initially announced that health authorities were on top of things and that there was little to worry about and then it progressed and we had increasing numbers of deaths including healthcare workers.[/QUOTE] Just looked this up. Only eight people in the US got it and none died. Over 8,000 got it globally. |

(Not that the cause being undetermined would stop Washington and CDC leaders from placing the blame on the nurse--who had the guts and dedication to go into the front lines of the war zone as they are not doing.) |

As for Washington leaders not doing their part, what do you personally think should be done? Very possible you have an idea they in Washington have not thought of at this point. |

Thank you nomosno - can't for the life of me understand what the hell is wrong with the current administration that doesn't see how this would easily contain the virus, protect the citizens of this country, and prevent all these crazy ideas of setting up specific ebola facilities in each state to the tune of God only knows how many billions of dollars.
