[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I hope she'll recover and that the transfer to Emory isn't a sign of a downward spiral.[/quote]

Have they said why she is being transferred to Emory? Beyond just "They've treated other patients"?

I have to think she is much sicker than Nina Pham if she is being transferred this quickly and Nina isn't. Which just leads me back to... she was sicker than they'll admit on her Monday flight. And possibly over the weekend.

I bet they were infected right around the same time. Nina went in Friday, Amber not until overnight Monday/Tuesday at the earliest. [/quote]

Here's the thing---you don't go from being contagious exactly at point A.  There is a lead up to when the fever first spikes when you are contagious...as there is with every single other virus with fever as a symptom.   Once it hits with Ebola--it hits full on which means if you aren't quarantined--you are out running your daily errands, hopping flights, etc.  WTF???!!!!  I have a graduate Degree in Virology.  I have worked with doctors that worked in the Congo with Ebola.  I am baffled by how the US is letting this take ground here.  We are already so many steps behind.

PEOPLE CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO SELF-MONITOR.  TO NOT GET ON FLIGHTS. TO NOT GO OUT IN PUBLIC. EVEN THE BROADCASTER BROKE HER QUARATINE.  People can't even be trusted to take their temp twice a day.  WTF?  Are we really going to be able to monitor all of the potential victims.  No- of course not.  Non-essential flights from W.Africa should have been banned months ago.  A Huge presence shoudl have been down there fighting it on its turf in the Hot Zone and contained it DOWN there.  THe hospital staff that had intimitate contact with DUNCAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON QUARATINE AND NOT ALLOWED OUT IN PUBLIC.  WTF??? [/quote]

Wow I elect y oi to run the CDC! I'm serious why the fuck can't our leaders think of this simple shit to protect its citizens. Baffling![/quote]

I work for another government agency. I'm have worked both with FDA and NIH in the past.  That is why I GET this shit show. I also know CDC is told what they can say to the press.  They have to hide shit. They can't say how bad it is if Admin doesn't want that word out. They don't want to lose their jobs...the good people eventually can't take the Bureaucracy.  It takes way too long to get approval to do what needs to be done!!!!![/quote]
