Some posters earlier in this thread I couldn't tell if they were intentionally trolling or brain damaged.
This is the OT. Both.

Thank you so much. I could just about imagine the crap y'all have to deal with. I couldn't deal with that. Thank you to all of you healthcare workers .

Exactly, it's not incompetence that worries me. It's Murphys law.

I've been fortunate enough that so far my PPD still comes back negative, but one of my buddies had to get the full prophylactic treatment after he came back positive.
I came back positive after I volunteered in an ER for a while and then got a job at another hospital a year later. Had to do the prophylaxis to start working. That 6 months of no drinking was rough.

The problem is the initial symptomology is pretty generic.
Indeed. The WHO says:

Humans are not infectious until they develop symptoms. First symptoms are the sudden onset of fever fatigue, muscle pain, headache and sore throat.
Incubation is 2-21 days, but I don't know how long the generic flu-like stage can last.

Of course, you'd be remiss if you ignore the patient's actual mental status.
More to the point, conduct a history like Frank Pembleton interrogating a suspect in the box. It could have been three weeks since the person had contact.

If Ebola hits one of these population groups and makes a foothold, it will get ugly.
This is what it looks like in Africa (slightly dumber population, but still):
This outbreak has already killed more people than all prior outbreaks combined.
This outbreak has already killed 20x as many people as the worst prior outbreak.
At least they're starting to screen people at JFK and other major airports.

I'm flying back to the states this week. I'm curious to see what precautions Atlanta has put in place.

That may be the single dumbest thing Scruffy has read on the internet in its brief existence.
Scruffy lost faith in humanity after reading those comments.
And people ask why he wants to leave this state.
The morons, that is why.

I almost commented on it when I read it earlier, but decided I didn't want my name anywhere near such stupidity

What's sad is you know our Attorney General isn't that fricking stupid. He's just pandering to the mouth breathers in our state. Ridiculous.

According to one post, burning to ash results in producing Ebola sea monkeys.
Just add water and you'll get virus again. If it gets airbourne....

Are you saying they haven't let her treat patients since him?
if the patient was in icu/ccu, from the beginning, then it's very possible. it's not uncommon for nurse to patient ratio, to be 1:1 (in icu). so if she was treating him, he very well could have been her only patient, and maybe she started having symptoms, just after he expired.

How crazy is it going to get when flu season hit?

Nurses unions in CA I believe have already chimed in. I'm not union or anti-union. But their statement hits what I have been saying. We don't have true hazmat training nor that type of equipment available to us. Not in general.
Every shot I see on the news of a health care worker putting on PPE has equipment FAR superior to anything I have ever had available. I fear we are protecting ourselves from Ebola with equipment sufficient to stop MRSA.
