Kind of scary. They made it sound like it was more difficult to catch then what the nurse "supposedly did."
2nd case of Ebola in DFW

One other quick note. If they do have a few more people and then it gets into flu season then things will not be fun. The amount of people that go into offices with fevers and vomiting from the flu could absolutely throw everyone off their rocker.
Oh for fucks sake. It's a fucking virus that has effectively thrown a significant number of you into the "fry Adrian" mentality
The government is lying to the American people, it's much easier to catch than they say it is
Keep your government conspiracy bullshit in the politics forum. No more in here from you or I'll block you out of general permanently. :0008
How many fucking times do you have to repeat yourself?
That's easy for you to say. I'm losing a significant amount of income every week this sticks around. I have ZERO ICU and ER PRN nurses that are willing to work.
So it may just being a fucking virus but yeah there are people that are scared. Sorry my nurses aren't as macho as you.
My ex is a nurse, my girlfriend is a nurse.
I understand the concerns they have. My girlfriend had to deal with a patient not long ago that ruptured her carotid after a tonsillectomy and bled out all over her, the room, the floor. It was nasty and now nobody wants to work her floor. However, it couldn't possibly be a surprise to anyone that you'll be dealing with sick people with diseases when in nursing school.
I don't blame people for being aware and even a little scared of a deadly virus, but it doesn't change the science of it in the least bit. It's still just a virus. Virus is as virus does. Whether you contract it in a nosocomial environment or from throwing poop at a festival you still get it the same way.
I believe yyz said it best. We live to panic in this country.
There is always something to panic about, even if it is fabricated by Fox news

Man Infected with Ebola Misinformation Through Casual Contact With Cable News
Man Infected with Ebola Misinformation Through Casual Contact With Cable News
CANTON, OH (The Borowitz Report)?An Ohio man has become infected with misinformation about the Ebola virus through casual contact with cable news, the Centers for Disease Control has confirmed.
Tracy Klugian, thirty-one, briefly came into contact with alarmist Ebola hearsay during a visit to the Akron-Canton airport, where a CNN report about Ebola was showing on one of the televisions in the airport bar. ?Mr. Klugian is believed to have been exposed to cable news for no more than ten minutes, but long enough to become infected,? a spokesman for the C.D.C. said. ?Within an hour, he was showing signs of believing that an Ebola outbreak in the United States was inevitable and unstoppable.?
Once Klugian?s condition was apparent, the Ohio man was rushed to a public library and given a seventh-grade biology textbook, at which point he ?started to stabilize,? the spokesman said.
But others exposed to the widening epidemic of Ebola misinformation may not be so lucky. ?A man in Oklahoma was exposed to Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Fox for over three minutes,? the C.D.C. spokesman said gravely. ?We hope we?re not too late.?
Peace!

This report is ridiculous. There was NO case of Ebola in Frisco at a care now. That report was fabricated by a fox news reporter. Does it really not matter to idealogues such as hedge and yourself to ensure the crap you post is truthful and factual? Are you so gullible and narrow minded that you completely disregard the integrity or lack thereof those you listen to?
Fucking amazes me that a grown man can be so easily influenced.
Hope this helps,
