And the nurse that was being quarantined in New Jersey was spouting off that politicians shouldn't be making decisions that only medical professionals should be making because they are the experts. Nevertheless 3 of the 4 ebola victims in the US were medical professionals.

Humans always mess it all up.

Our previous BC nurse's union rep was morbidly obese. It couldn't get much worse unless she was a smoker too.

My current feeling about nurses is that they should be healthy or at least free of things that go against what they are promoting.

You're not talking about dear sweet Debra? Not one of my favourite people, not because of her stature so much as the size of her mouth.:) (At risk of gaining a few enemies here)

In a new Ebola-related post that appears to be splitting hairs between “airborne” and “droplet” spread, the health agency claimed...

Splitting hairs? There's a huge difference between a droplet that lands on something and you touch, and an aerosol floating through the air. That's not splitting hairs. The PPE issue is a rather large distinction.... If it's a droplet, I can protect myself without needing a respirator. Secondly, if the virus can survive on aerosols, that means it can survive desiccation. In a droplet, it's protected from desiccation. So that means the amount of time the virus can survive in the environment in a droplet versus on an aerosol is very different. Another important difference is how many people you'd need to quarantine if ebola was airborne.

There is a huge difference between airborne and droplets, and the CDC has never said that ebola can't be transmitted by droplets.

Charities and residents turn on owner of 'Ebola House'

DALLAS - A man who decorated his Dallas home for Halloween to resemble an Ebola hot spot has found that charities he wanted to benefit by showing it off are refusing donations from an exhibit many find to be in poor taste.
James Faulk, 48, transformed his townhouse in an affluent Dallas neighborhood by adorning it with blue plastic barrels affixed with orange bio-hazard stickers, yellow caution tape and the word "QUARANTINE" stenciled in red letters on the outside of a boarded up door.
"I just put them out for the kids to have fun," Faulk -- who also set up a Twitter account for the home -- said Wednesday.
But critics in Dallas, where a person was diagnosed with Ebola died less than a month ago and two nurses who were treating him were infected with the deadly virus, have said now is not the time to make light of the outbreak that has left almost 5,000 dead in West Africa and many on edge in the United States.
"I am appalled that there are people living in our country who could be so insensitive to the suffering of others that they would use a deadly virus as a Halloween theme," area resident Doris Taylor wrote in a letter to the Dallas Morning News.
Reactions from neighbors have been mixed. Police showed up shortly after the decorations went on display after a resident was concerned the quarantine scenario was real, Faulk said.
Others have posed with him dressed in costume as a "CDC Trainee."
After about 100 people a day have visited the "Ebola House" since it went up on Oct. 18, Faulk decided to use the attention to gather money for non-profit organizations working to fight the virus.
But he has been rebuffed, Faulk said, adding groups do not want to be affiliated with his effort.
"I'm not going to give up. Friday night is going to be a platform to do something good. This a horrible disease," he said.

Yep, even those who have never been near ebola, or even an area with ebola patients, or even if they have been in a country with ebola... They don't care about being able to send people somewhere, they don't need to worry about volunteers.

Have you read Cliffy? Flossy? MHz?

They aren't American, they love their fear of their own kind, they're all paranoid, and they don't follow FoxNews.
