Good thing

JFK isn't 4 minutes from your house because you would totally have gotten ebola if that were the case, dodged a bullet

Said the chances Ebola would end up in the U.S. was very small - how could this happen
Well, given the number of cases

divided by the population, including visitors.

Yeah, it's small, you dumb fuck.

You are very dumb.
They are small...  
x meadowlander : 10/23/2014 9:16 pm : link
...the exceptions will mostly be cases like this Doctor - aid workers who bring it home with them.

Despite the panic raised by the media, we're still talking about single digits. The epidemic being forecasted by fear-mongering idiots hasn't happened, nor will it.
I guess

Not understanding this

This is a medical professional, a Doctor. Came from a humanitarian mission in Africa where he treated Ebola patients. Would you not, as a medical professional, with that history of treating Ebola patients, put yourself in self-quarantine for the 21 days without going out bowling, for example? I know the expectations of getting Ebola are very low, but I guess I expected more caution from this medical professional in this case with what has gone on the the last month, perhaps there are more facts to come that I do not know.

Sounds like this was done about exactly right  
ron in new mexico : 10/23/2014 9:23 pm : link
the doc was treating patients in Africa. The FD had a special unit respond which was equipped for isolation. He was treated in isolation in the hospital….
Everything sounds textbook.

It shows a bit what a joke was that hospital in Dallas. Knew he was in Africa and still sent him home with ebola symptoms 2 nurses down with the illness pictures showing them in inadequate protective gear….could they have done worse. Taken him blood and smeared it around the ER I guess aside that no.

This to the credit of NYC their FD and hospitals….at least right now sounds textbook Kudos to them.
My hope  
Sammo284 : 10/23/2014 9:24 pm : link
Is NYC and the federal quick strike teams are taking no chances and decontaminating everything including the bowling alley if he was there. Also, they better find that Uber driver just as a precaution.

You are just embarrassing yourself - the guy risked his life to save some of the poorest and sickest people on the planet, was likely elbow deep in diseased awfulness and may pay the ultimate price.

And your first thought is an irrelevant, douchey, cheap shot?

hysteria now ebbs. which it should this is hard to get and now appears treatable with adequate supportive assistance to prevent dehydration. Antiinflamitories actually hurt when taken for Ebola. I
m sure that poor guy in Dallas he was taking bunches of them as that is what you take with those type symptoms. But they hurt not help with Ebola.

It won't ebb until it subsides and is contained in Africa and there's no new cases abroad for months.

fuckhead reportedly felt sick on Tuesday and went out bowling anyway including going on the subway
In the financial industry  
ron in new mexico : 10/23/2014 9:34 pm : link
tbe recovery has already occurred. All the airline stocks which were the first to drop are back up with report of good earnings helping that.

Hospital stocks took a big hit took last week and have now gone back up. So this will set it back a bit but I expect not to much. It was just so well handled it may actually help. The doc didn't see any patients since back so he sort of self isolated a bit. probably he knew he was at risk and acted properly as he should have, not jetting around the country.

The general public…..I think mostly it is media. A bit us but mostly them. They blew it way out of proportion. In the end it had to fall back in on itself. Mostly it was nonsense…..mutation…geese louise not here with a handful of cases…AFrica perhaps.

I wouldn't expect on getting the officials to confirm it. They don't want panic but if he was symptomatic two days before there is potential for spread through sneezing, saliva exchange, sweat.

That's one and a 50% expected mortality rate for those infected ( higher in west Africa)
except for the fact that "with proper treatment"

the mortality in the US has been way, way, way lower than 75% you are absolutely right

On a more serious note

I hope this guy is ok, he's a hero for working in West Africa. Going bowling maybe wasn't so smart, though.

Mr Duncan didn't get Ebola in the USA, but don't let that get in the way of your stupid, stupid argument.
