SECOND Dallas Hospital Worker Tests Positive for Ebola

Mornin Lady P. Here check this out from the Left-leaning Mother Jones. The Nurses aren't going to let this CDC guy keep on lying about hospitals and medical people being ready.


Survey: Four Out of Five Nurses Have Gotten No Ebola Training At All.....

15496602056_2f7fcd85c0_z12.jpg


A new survey conducted by the National Nurses Union shows US hospitals may not be adequately prepared to handle Ebola patients, should the virus continue to spread. Out of the 2,200 nurses who responded to the union's questionnaire, 85 percent reported that their hospitals had not provided education on Ebola. 76 percent said their institution had no policy for how to admit and handle patients potentially infected with the virus. More than a third claimed their hospitals didn't have enough safety supplies, including eye protection and fluid resistant gowns. The survey results were announced on Sunday, just after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed that a health worker in Texas had tested positive for the virus. The CDC's director, Thomas Frieden cited a "breach of protocol" as the likely reason. Now—as agency officials scramble to figure out just what that breach was—nurses are pushing back. On Monday, NNU nurses in red shirts rallied in Oakland, Calif. with signs reading, "Stop Blaming Nurses. Stop Ebola."

"We have been surveying nurses for almost two months about Ebola preparedness," Charles Idelson, an NNU spokesman, said Monday. "What these survey results clearly indicate is that hospitals are still not doing enough to be properly prepared to respond." The CDC has announced plans to deploy an Ebola response team "within hours" at any hospital where an Ebola patient is admitted. At a press conference, Frieden said the agency is responding to calls from hospitals that are underprepared to handle the crisis.

About damn time! I don't blame the nurses for being angry that they are the scapegoats here! If the military personnel we recently sent to West Africa know what to do, why aren't medical personnel here getting the same instructions? We are sending "response teams to any hospital where an Ebola patient is admitted?" What happens if 500 hospitals all call for help at the same time? As usual, we are not being proactive, but operating piecemeal on a case by case basis! With the internet available, why haven't detailed instructions already been sent to every hospital in this country? No one knows where the next Ebola patient is going to show up, for chrissake! Winging it on Ebola isn't going to work! Order the "Ebola czar" to start earning the hefty salary she is being paid!
 
A certain poster yesterday said the transmission to the Nurse didn't qualify as spreading the virus from one Continent to another


Does this qualify as spreading the virus ?

No. It's still in the circle of first contact.
 
Should have gone to Doctors Without Borders.

That is a good idea also, since Doctors Without Borders needs it a lot more than the CDC. The CDC's budget is well over 6 Billion. I read the Doctors Without Borders is about 400 million, and about 80% of that comes from private donors.
 
He gave that 25 million to the CDC. The CDC already gets Billions of dollars and most likely they are not spending it efficiently. That 25 million would be better spent by giving to a private sector company looking for a Ebola cure.

Should have gone to Doctors Without Borders.

$25M is a joke for an organization with $billion dollar budgets, so I agree with you.

People upset that Ebola is spreading, nurses not given proper training, workers not having equipment. Guy gives $25 million to help fight this disease and help prepare workers to keep it from spreading. People complain and say what he should have done. :confused:

Zuckerberg should be applauded for this.
 
The government refuses to use military aircraft to move people in and out of Africa. Can anyone explain why? No, no one can.
The government refuse to use the four or five hospitals that are there to deal with virus and chemical warfare, instead they transport the victims to a hospital in Dallas that has no expertise.
The government refuses to acknowledge transferal of the killer may be air born.
The government is using ticket takers to read temperature of incoming people from Africa. These are the same people videotaped sleeping at their stations and allow hundreds of drugs and handguns to go right by them.
 
So you will continue to dismiss it as "nothing to see here" until it becomes something to see, then I suspect you'll be nowhere in those threads to answer for your statements.

Just because people don't subscribe to the "OMFG the SKY IS FALLING" type of action, doesn't mean they are dismissing it.
 
So what do you have to say about the Nurses Association saying Hospitals aren't prepared like Friedman of the CDC says.....that Nurses across the country are saying they aren't prepared like the CDC says.

That's quite a contradiction by our medical people versus those of the Fed and its Bureaucracy. Wouldn't you say?

It's typical. Nothing new there.
 
How in the world would the Dallas nurse getting Ebola not qualify? That is a ridiculous statement by whoever said it.

Yeah the sky is falling, the sky is falling. Every town in the U.S. has it now. It's spreading like wildfire!

The one on the right looks mean enough to kill Ebola just by looking at it. She needs to come to Dallas!
 
Sure it is. :lamo

And don't forget to blame Obama while you're at it.

Obama is to blame as far as his oversight of the CDC administration is concerned. He also needs to watch what he says, and not overdo the "we have it under control" bull****. They have nothing under control, as is plainly obvious.
 
Friedman should be fired. He seems to be lying like a corrupt politician. And he doesn't make any sense when he insists that temporarily banning people from the Ebola outbreak countries from traveling to the United States would make things worse. How would that make things worse?

It's been explained to you numerous times here but obviously you're ignoring it.
 
Zuckerberg stated he wanted the money to go to the front lines on the source. He wanted them to have the proper equipment. I don't think they will play with his demand.

That sort of reminds me of when people wanted to take up donations to buy flak jackets for U.S. military personnel in Iraq; and when they wanted to help the military with up-armoring their Humvees.

Clearly racist.
 
Because politically it was stated this would effect economies and the Global economy. But he has lied about US Hospitals being ready and that Nurses were. The Former CDC head Madi stated that only Big hospitals associated with Universities and research are able to handle the matter. Not some little private hospital.

But, but, Perry said Texas had this one covered. State of the art hospitals with the best people in the country to deal with the virus.What happened? LOL

Where is he anyway? Oh that's right he's conveniently in Europe. Just like our congress critters are on break - again.

Just because something is said over and over again, doesn't make it true or correct.
 
"Mission Accomplished."

"Good job Brownie."

This is about Ebola with an 70% mortality rate. You think that's worth your partisanship. The CDC has ****ed up so far, and you know it.
 
No. It's still in the circle of first contact.


LOL !!


Wow. Defend Obama and the Democrats at ALL cost, huh ?

" Nothing to see here folks, move along ".. ...

When this Nurses Boyfriend starts to show symptoms ( if he hasn't already ) are you going to manufacture some cockamamey story about him sneaking into Duncan's isolation ward and spooning with him ?

You are a great example of just how dangerous ideologues can be.

Oh, Brother. ...


Yes, don't blame the fact that this guy was allowed to board a plane out of a Ebola ravaged Country and fly right into the Middle of America, infecting at least two innocent Americans.

This Hospital used CDC protocols by the way.
