The other day I was just floored at the dumbfoundingly-dumb statistic of there being only two doctors per 100,000 people in Sierra Leone, according to WHO...

Doctors have little incentive to practice.

when your prospective patients are liable to kill you (and not just through contagion) it's not a terribly attractive career choice.

From Thomas Duncan? Jesus how bad are they at this quarantine?

Oh maybe it's from his first visit when they sent a guy from west Africa with a 103 degree fever home...

CNN needs something to cover and no airplanes have gone missing in awhile.

They didn't quarantine him at first, so it's pretty likely that's how she got infected.

I'm already getting tired of all this garbage conspiracy gumming up the system. Every other hour on my Facebook and twitter is a new post about how the government is trying to cleanse the country and Obama is behind it because he hasn't banned flights yet.

People are stupid.

**Blubbartron** · 2014-10-12 11:17

To be fair, Texas is in dire need of a good cleansin'.

Yeah but it needs to be nuclear and not viral.

From what I read, it was a CCU nurse who just breached protocol. It would have had to be an extraordinary breach, because it's not exactly super communicable even without protection.

But the nurse probably thought that too. Now my wife is worried. Thanks

**tyven** · 2014-10-12 12:59

Clearly government is lying about how its transmitted and now we are all gonna die Thx 2 George bush

Good luck convincing people. I just spent an hour back and forthing a nurse who swears this is a conspiracy by pharm companies to make money on dying people.

Ebola was made in a lab by evil villains bent on creating a virus they have a cure for but need to scare people into giving money to cure.

That is literally how she said it.

**Tyche** · 2014-10-12 13:10

Well, that's a Dr Doofenshmirtz level of incompetence for a evil corporation. They've only infected a few Americans.

Also, people that dumb shouldn't be allowed to care for the sick.

**kuronosan** · 2014-10-12 13:12

That's exactly what I said.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2014-10-12 13:40

shoulda coughed on her instead, better use of your breath

Good luck, Ebola-chan. First reported in-the-US infection of a nurse that was taking care of the guy who died in Dallas.

A patient was isolated with possible Ebola symptoms in Braintree, Massachusetts, officials confirmed Sunday afternoon.
The man, who had recently traveled to Liberia, was transported by ambulance after being isolated at Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates. He will be sent to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
