The case is particularly worrisome to health experts because Spain is a developed country that is considered to possess the kind of rigorous infection control measures that should prevent disease transmission in the hospital. Although the Ebola epidemic has killed hundreds of doctors and nurses in West Africa, health officials in Europe and the United States have reassured the public repeatedly that if the disease reached their shores, their health care systems would be able to treat patients safely, without endangering health workers or the public.

Health officials in Spain said the team (the nursed worked in) was properly equipped with protective gear, including gloves, gowns, masks and eye protection. The gear is meant to prevent exposure to bodily fluids, which spread the disease. But experts say the greatest risk comes from removing contaminated gear, which must be done according to a strict protocol to avoid infecting oneself. It takes training and practice.

This will be how hospitals get overrun very quickly. Not enough personal with the training and also time will become a factor so they will start taking shortcuts. It could get messy quickly.

Yes, this post sounds hysterical.

Not PP, but no it doesn't. Stop using that word. You clearly don't know what it means. This person disagrees with you. Fine. You do t have to gaslight her.

You do realize you're talking to more than one person, right?

A second nurse is being tested, and the first nurse's husband is now showing symptoms.

The suits used by the Spanish medical team did not meet WHO standards, nor did the hospital follow isolation protocol.

It's not.

And yet of the people who were living in the same apartment with Thomas Duncan, so far not a single one has shown any symptoms.

Yet. Lets see after 3 weeks, shall we? And well also see if a healthcare wirker at the hospital he initially went to gets it.

Love the way you make snarky comments implying people are paranoid after only 7 or so days of the guy being sick. Coearly you know more than the exoerts re: incubation period

Aren't you the one who keeps implying that the experts are "lying" to us? Today is the 13th day since he began to show symptoms and became contagious. Yes, the incubation period is 21 days and yes, they may still get sick, but you are fear-mongering plain and simple. This entire thread borders on hysteria.

I think you need to look up hysteria.

Hmm, "a situation in which many people behave or react in an extreme or uncontrolled way because of fear, anger, etc".

Yep, sounds pretty accurate to me.

Poser.

Do you actually think that typing a post that says we ought to be acting more aggressively to stop this, and that the information we're being given is incomplete is "reacting in an extreme or uncontrolled way"? Really? THat's disingenuous. Also, let's remember the history of the overuse of that word. It was generally applied to women who had any complaints or feelings that men found inconvenient.

My guess is they are likely not going to reveal that these people are even sick with it and will just quietly admit them to the hospital.
