2014 Ebola Outbreak

**Tyche** · 2014-10-15 17:32

I read that the Dallas hospital didn't have all the needed equipment, however, I'm not sure what that entailed.

We were discussing the PPE issue in the shop this morning. I'm wearing my 'not surprised' face during all of this.

Didn't the dude not have insurance? That's why the hospital was slow to treat him seriously and probably why the second nurse is going to Atlanta for care.

You guys are all stupid, this shit is real and it's an epidemic. Look at all these news headlines:

http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/04/21...l?_s=PM:HEALTH

The United States is in a better position than many other countries to stem the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome, but it is still not possible to predict how broadly the illness will extend, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

Err, wait, wrong thing. This one!

http://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/past-outbreaks.htm

H7N2 in New York, 2003

In November 2003, a case of avian influenza A virus infection was detected in an adult male from New York, who was hospitalized for respiratory tract illness. A low pathogenic avian influenza A (H7N2) virus was isolated from a respiratory specimen from the patient. The patient’s acute symptoms resolved. The source of this person's infection is unknown.5,6

Shit, still not right..anyways, it's still super serious and within the next 6 months it's going to be the fucking Walking Dead down in the south.

Oh, you mean the place where the CDC headquarters is located? Yea. That's probably why. Insurance.

Eh, meant to make the two points separate. The delay in the first guys treatment. And the chick going to Emory because clearly that Dallas hospital sucks.

Both the Ottawa and Belleville patients tested negative for ebola.

“There is good scientific evidence that cannabinoids, and in particular Cannabidiol (CBD), may offer control of the immune system and in turn provide protection from viral infections (4). Cannabis has already been recognized to inhibit fungus and bacteria and can be considered a new class of antimicrobial because of the different mechanism of action from other antimicrobials. (1)

This seems like bullshit, had it been posted yet? Someone with more time care to figure out if its accurate? I know nothing about the subject but the article provided references if anyones interested.

Welp, Yale-New Haven Hospital here in CT has a possible (more like probable) Ebola patient with symptoms and very recent travel to Liberia.Yale-NHH is the main hospital we use where I work to transport patients to. Was nice knowing you guys

**notorious bum** · 2014-10-16 08:35

suit-up homie and start smoking that herb

**Tyche** · 2014-10-16 09:12

You could have at least paraphrased the damn article to make it palpable Ksandra. Useless.

Anyway, above article I linked is nurses detailing how unprepared the hospital was for the Ebola patient and how terrible their PPE was on admission.
