Ebola Crisis

[old.Tohtori]

Hat>All.

Haven't you played TF2?

I'm not doubting the cool factor, just about the effectiveness of it

I'm still massively afraid, despite pretty much everyone involved saying it's barely a risk for us well-prepared westerners at all!!11!1!1!

Fixed.

 

[ECA]

We could solve the middle east by exporting ebola there.

 

[Talivar]

Problem is Scouse all those involved say that stuff to ease the simple minds they know will believe it. Try looking past the words and watch the actions, even in super prepared America it is slowly spreading despite all those precautions and tactics they are telling you about to keep you calm

 

[Moriath]

Just nuke the countries infected and burn the virus to hell .

 

[fettoken]

Yeah - something needs to be done before it mutates. Fucking airborne aids.. nope.

People on the NYC subway are starting to wear those ridiculous surgical masks that were in vogue when SARS and swine flu were doing the rounds. I await the day when it breaks out in my office building, so I can work from home for a week.

On a completely different note - any suggestions on how an Alan Partridge Halloween costume would look. Hmm.

As worn by a lot of Japs and Chinese on airplanes. Wife's having kittens because I'm going to Kenya next week. Although I may call it off as I need to go to LA before end of the month and the profiling with be a bitch to get through.

It is not terribly uncommon to see people with face masks around here. It is also not a terrible idea during flu seasons.

Should be mandatory for new parents who insist on working and bringing their baby-bacteria to workplaces

 

[Gwadien]

Someone on Facebook just replied to a Guardian article with; 'Shut our borders, stop the planes, stop sending British doctors to help Africans, and we'll be fine'

Fuck sake, I hate humans.

 

[Zarjazz]

You do realise those cold/flu masks don't actually stop you catching anything right? The only thing they've been proven to do is reduce the chance of you infecting anyone else.

They'd be of zero benefit when it comes to ebola, it has a completely different method of transmission.

 

[Ormorof]

people really panicking, a nurse who came back to finland from sierra leone is basically being shunned by her friends and family, she is not infected (as far as we know!!!) and is not in any official quarantine but seeing as no one will talk to her or meet her in person she might as well be...

reminds me of:

Guy at work said he was stocking up on dry and tinned food and water.

Anyone would think there is a genuine need for panic, the dogshit media like the Mail and the BBC need to fuck off with their scaremongering.

 

[Scouse]

even in super prepared America it is slowly spreading

No. It isn't.

One health worker came back from Africa, and a nurse failed to follow procedure and got hit.

In a country of 350 million people I'd be much more afraid of high winds, or slipping in the shower.

They'd be better off wearing gloves eh?

 

[Gwadien]

Some retards.

 

[Ctuchik]

two now. one dead, second infected.

/edit: I'm stupid. you mentioned those two... -.-

But that nurse didn't fail to follow procedure, there wasn't any procedures to follow. No information or guidelines at all the first few days.

 

[Scouse]

But that nurse didn't fail to follow procedure, there wasn't any procedures to follow. No information or guidelines at all the first few days.

She said she'd failed to follow procedure when taking off her suit - that she thought she'd touched her face with the glove.

And yet - two cases - both of whom are health workers who've put themselves directly in physical contact with sufferers.

I wouldn't be getting on a plane to Liberia - it's gotta be hell over there, the WHO reckon 10,000 new cases a week by December are a possibility and that the 50% death rate is probably understating it because where they have good figures it's more like 70% - but in the west?

I'm more scared of soap in my eyes.

 

[Raven]

They are mostly nuts over there too, taking ill people back to their villages to be treated by god or some shit.

I have no worries whatsoever of it becoming a problem here.

 

[Scouse]

Yeah and murdering health workers and attacking medical centres because of their religious beliefs and non evidence-based thinking.

Oh shit! That's relevant evidence of the very real dangers of non-evidence-based-thinking. @old.Tohtori, @Olgaline and the agnostic @Lakih will be on this thread like a rash saying that their mumbo-jumbo opinions are just as relevant and important as anyone else's non-evidence based thought-processes. Either that, or that "tribesmen" don't count and the bullshit mumbo-jumbo of religious folk in the west is definitely OK and harmless at worst. Or something...

Oh double shit! I've accidently derailed the thread! Quick! Hide this post!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well yeah, the only one derailing this thread and poking at other members about it is you. Have fun with that.

Don't stir the pot Thot

 

[Talivar]

The nurse who touched her face was not in America , that was the Spanish nurse in Madrid. There is 3 in America, 1 now dead person who came back from Liberia and tried to go Hospital but was initially sent away with anti biotic, and 2 Nurses who knew he had Ebola and treated him. Neither of these two understand why they have caught it yet. The 2nd nurse who was revealed today was actually on a flight the day before she checked in to the hospital with her symptoms.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Don't stir the pot Thot

Well have to say, since Scouse agrees with you as well, that how about we aim that potstirring comment to the one tagging people into the thread

 

[Olgaline]

I don't even know where to begin with that comment from Scouse...The sheer amount of ignorance and unwillingness to comprehend is, well staggering....So,


I won't

 

[fettoken]

@Scouse that's a mouthful even by your standards.


Oh, about the Ebola. I really admire people going there, and feel really sad for these workers getting killed and/or infected with the disease. In my opinion it's a fruitless fight going down there with aid(s). As Ivan Drago once said: "If he dies.. he dies"
