[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think she deserves some of the good samaritan's blood?  (if she's the same blood type?)[/quote]

Of course! We don't deny life saving treatment because we think someone made a poor choice esp. Since the CDC didn't tell her to not travel when she called to report a fever.[/quote]

Of course she deserves it if she's a match. I hope that at some point she will apologize for her poor choices, but you know what -- CDC effed up by not telling her to stay put and also if it pushed her off when she called with a fever and Tx Presby messed up with its general lack of preparedness, equipment, and help or support for these nurses. But for the CDC and Tx Presby, she may not even be in this situation at all.[/quote]

If we had closed our borders and did not let Duncan in these two hospital workers would not have Ebola. Lesson learned. I blame the CDC for down playing the risk of Ebola to the US. [/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted just above you -- I agree. It is entirely the fault of the CDC and the federal gov't for not cutting off flights from West Africa because of their belief that this kind of thing won't be a problem in the US because we are light years ahead of West Africa in terms of healthcare and hygiene. Have our elected officials never been to a "regular" hospital -- you know the place you take your kid on a weekend when they have strep throat and can't wait for the ped's office on Monday? They aren't all like Emory or Hopkins or UCSF in terms of their competence or equipment, yet somehow they are all deemed light years ahead of West Africa simply bc they are in the U.S. Morons.[/quote]
