EBOLAWATCH: 5000 false claims last week. 0 new cases.
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Still the second nurse that has it apparently was on a flight with 91 other people a day prior to
symptoms leaves ya pause for thought eh?

3 years since I've ridden skyslug. The last experience was similar to my first. Give a look like "I'm gonna bash you're brains in if you sit beside me" and things are fine.
If only it weren't so damn hard to actually catch. Now if somebody did the mile high thing with her, they should be worried.
hmmm, I don't know if I can get away with that. I'm lacking the physical presence (weight and height) to successfully pull that off.
The problem with this image is that everything except ebola is self inflicted and a person can control whether they smoke, eat, etc.
Can't control who near you has ebola...can't control a mutating virus...yet.
Talk to yourself, angrily. You'll get all the space you need, lol.
The real problem with that image is, it mocks the problem, any attempts to mitigate its affects and anyone that even remotely understand the former.
It's an unintelligent way to communicate.
Consider how poor the health infrastructure is in most parts of Africa and now consider how insignificantly small the percentage of the population is that has been affected.
It's nothing to worry about.
No seriously.
We all have as much of a chance catching Ebola as we do being beheaded by a Canadian member of ISIS.
It will be taken care of regardless of whatever media attention the problem receives and by next year this will be ebowhat?
There you go, fabricating an argument again.
That's funny, especially when you consider how often you whine about it when you imagine others doing it, lolz.

And they used protective gear when caring for the patient.
yes like they did with SARs here...we hopefully learned our lesson there.Nurses share true feelings about Ebola outbreak on confessions app
The deadly Ebola outbreak has not arrived in Canada, but two cases of health care workers who became infected after treating a patient in Texas have left nurses and other front-line workers on both sides of the border fearful.
Dallas nurses who treated Thomas Eric Duncan – the first person to be diagnosed and die from Ebola in the U.S. – worked for days without proper protective gear. A statement released by the largest U.S. nurses' union Tuesday alleged that:
- Duncan was kept in a non-isolated area of the hospital for hours
- Nurses treating Duncan were also caring for other patients
- The only Ebola preparation at the hospital was an optional seminar
Meanwhile, north of the border, the vice-president of the United Nurses of Alberta provided her own example of poor guidance: Nurses have been told they could wear regular masks when they should only be wearing N95 masks when treating possible Ebola patients.
The bad advice and lack of training has the Alberta union calling for more education.
It also has nurses in Canada and the U.S. posting anonymous messages admitting what they really want to say about Ebola on the secret-sharing app Whisper. CTV News cannot independently verify the authenticity of the users, but all of the users identify themselves as nurses or front-line workers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's not the disease that worries me necessarily. It's the gaping holes that I firmly believe the healthcare system is riddled with that can and probably will allow contagion to spread that causes concern.
Absolutely. As Twila said, why are we allowing workers to travel without quarantine first. I can not imagine anyone would protest that given the seriousness of this disease.
Is the article better written than the title?
Not the strange lettering, but the actual premise.
I only ask because there's a difference between concerned and worried.
Am I concerned about ebola? Of course, only a moron wouldn't be.
Am I worried? No.
Are you following me, or are you stuck in idiot mode still?
Oh would you look at that, as I figured.
So what do you say Flossy, should I be worried about the flu, or concerned?
BREAKING!!! Ebola case in Mississauga, Ontario checked in at Credit Valley Hospital.
Run Mentalfloss RUN!!
Run Mentalfloss RUN!!
Do I actually have to explain the difference between concern and worry, Flossy?
I get what you're saying. And it is a small percentage of the population...at this time..considering. However I still find it an emotionally sad thing What's going on. 4200 people have died there and they all had family who loved them and it's not over. and it's not over and it's possible it could get exponentionally worse
I find it a concern here, because I can't control what plans are made, how it's handled doesn't seem to be perfect or by some accounts proper. The infected have travelled with the general population.
