Not going to post all of this, but here's an excerpt from zerohedge.

And yet, while once again casting scapegoating and blame, the CDC sternly refuses to acknowledge something others, and not just tingoil blog sites, are increasingly contemplating as a distinct possibility: namely that Ebola is, contrary to CDC "protocol", in fact airborne. Or as, an article posted by CIDRAP defines it, "aerosolized."

Who is CIDRAP? "The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP; "SID-wrap") is a global leader in addressing public health preparedness and emerging infectious disease response. Founded in 2001, CIDRAP is part of the Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota."

The full punchline from the CIDRAP report:

We believe there is scientific and epidemiologic evidence that Ebola virus has the potential to be transmitted via infectious aerosol particles both near and at a distance from infected patients, which means that healthcare workers should be wearing respirators, not facemasks.

In other words, airborne.

Medical crews surround aircraft at Logan Airport

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Emergency crews are currently responding to a health situation at Logan Airport.

According to the Massachusetts Port Authority, five passengers on Emirates Flight 237 from Dubai were experiencing flu-like symptoms. Crews are on the ground responding to the situation. Those passengers were not in West Africa, according to the agency.

The five sick passengers will be taken off the plane and transported to area hospitals. According to a State Police source, two of them have fevers.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been notified of the situation and will determine if the remaining passengers on board can leave the plane.

FOX 25's Crystal Haynes reports that family members at Logan Airport who have been in contact with the passengers on the flight are saying that each passenger is being evaluated one-by-one. The passengers, Haynes reports, are being told to be patient.

At least two emergency responders in hazmat gear boarded the flight.

And flu season is coming in a few weeks.
I can see an increase in people getting the flu vaccine in order to not be showing these flu-like symptoms.

Trying to sound smart? I guess I should have put /sarcasm on my post, it was a joke as 99% of the "medicine" we take we have no idea what is in it, what it does, if it does anything, all we are told is we have to take it and we HAVE to pay for it.
We know how most medicine we use works. Don't equate your ignorance for that of the larger community.

85% of Nurses Not Trained for Ebola


76% of nurses also say their hospitals have no policy for admitting Ebola patients

Eighty-five percent of America’s nurses said their hospitals have not educated them on Ebola, according to a poll conducted by the largest nursing association in the U.S.

Additionally, 76% of the nurses said their hospitals have not informed them how to admit potential Ebola patients in the poll conducted Sunday by National Nurses United which surveyed 2,000 registered nurses at over 750 facilities in 46 states.

“Our call was… based on steady reports from nurses at multiple hospitals who are alarmed at the inadequate preparation they see at their hospitals,” RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of NNU, stated. “The time to act is long overdue.”

Thirty-seven percent of nurses also revealed their hospitals have insufficient supplies of face shields and 39% said their hospitals have no plans to equip isolation rooms for Ebola patients.


In response, the NNU called on hospitals to “immediately implement a full emergency preparedness plan for Ebola,” including full training for health care workers, adequate supplies of Hazmat suits, properly equipped isolation rooms and appropriate procedures for disposal of medical waste and linens after use.

The World Health Organization is calling Ebola the “most severe acute health emergency in modern times.”

“I have never seen an infectious disease contribute so strongly to potential state failure,” Margaret Chan, the agency’s director-general, said in regard to the Ebola-struck African nations.

Here in the U.S., Ebola is now spreading after a nurse who treated the late Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan tested positive for the virus on Saturday.

But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has largely ignored its own disease protocolsafter Duncan became the first diagnosed case of Ebola in the U.S., is now trying to blame the nurse for a “breach of protocol” which caused to her to contract the disease.

“I think that is just wrong,” Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner, an expert on public health preparedness at Pennsylvania State University, said to Reuters. “We haven’t provided [hospital workers] with a national training program.”

“We haven’t provided them with the necessary experts that have actually worked in hospitals with Ebola.”

This is just one of many botch ups by the CDC; for one thing, the agency is responding to only about half of the calls it is receiving from doctors reporting Ebola-like symptoms in patients.

CDC officials were also slow to decontaminate Duncan’s apartment and the ambulance used to transport him to the hospital.

I know two nurses right now on the smash list.......both have pets.................... I'm telling you .....I'm considering the bushes... :lupe: :patrice: ....... Actually they are nurses, but don't don't see multiple patients like that......so.........but I hate how this shiit is playing out.... :snoop:....That incremental shiit.......I was around a motherfukker coughing all crazy, no putting his face to the side or nothing ..... I wanted to spray lysol over dude
