So wife is in with doc seeing about an esophageal issue (btw healed) anyway consult is winding down so I ask..so doc...what's your take on Ebola?
1. CDC is lying...its airborne... 2. Research does not show an animal nexus... 3. Its here...and the .gov has no way to prevent its spread other than complete travel ban and quarantine until it dies out. 4. Lots of people are going to die here... 5. Avoid airlines, wash hands often, avoid crowds and ill people. 6. It cost $500,000 to treat patient zero, a pandemic will destroy our economy... |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah.....people will die here. Let's see a pic of your wife before I croak.

When the death totals look like flu numbers, i'll being to worry. There's ~3.4k deaths so far in a land with shit health care & people believe it doesn't exist.
|

While your wife's ENT has a higher capacity to evaluate such things than the average booger picker, I doubt he's any expert on Ebola or epidemiology.
About the only thing in there that I will believe is the $500K figure to treat someone. In fact, that sounds conservative. |
|
The United States strain of Ebola has doubled in terms of infected and thus far has a 100% mortality rate. The end is nigh.

Half of me thinks this is no big deal
But the other half of me thinks that we are in for some shit real soon The fact that the government isn't doing a damn thing has me worried |
|
|
I read it on the internet...it must be true.
I'm not saying you're full of shit but you're full of shit. |
|
Appeal to (non) expert.
Did you axe the doctor his opinion on Alex Jones? |
|
|
|
|
|
I think your wifes doc is an asshole and does not know what he is talking about
|
|
The only thing spreading faster than the Ebola......................is the Ebola threads.

I think even more worrisome is what will the Govt. do when and if it decides to act? |

Cool story. Sounds like your wife's doctor is a figment of your imagination.

On the plus side, Arfcom is mostly comprised of loners, so we should fare OK.

Government is probably VERY busy doing things. Like last minute stockpiling of supplies at their bunkers so they can ride out a year or longer pandemic burning through the country. But government is probably not doing a damn thing for the general public in the face of the coming catastrophe. eta: one of our local docs is very concerned about the spread. He left a position doing epidemiology at Tufts in Boston to move out to the sticks around here because of how he saw the poor preparations for diseases like SARS and Bird Flu. |

Thank God we did not intentionally bring this plague to the U.S.

As long as I never leave the basement I don't have anything to fear from Ebola.
|
|
Mayo Clinic is the shit in the U.S.
eff taking me to Dallas...or even Houston.....Take me to the Mayo if i get really sick |
|
|
I guess a Mayo Clinic Doc can be full of shit too! who woulda thunk it?
|
|
Glad your wife is healed.
![]() The rest of your post sucks. But you already knew that. ![]() |

WTF happened to the over population problem? Hell, a pandemic would be a God-send to the enviro-psychos!

Asking an ENT doc about ebola is like asking a linux server guy about windows 8.
|

IF it's airborne we should be seeing a huge increase in cases within a week.
I'll buy that doctor a membership here if he/she is correct. Otherwise, lol. |

7. Internet keyboard commandos know better about ebola than you or any doctor, and you should trust them and not worry.
8. The need not to worry is directly tied to the fact the government is so efficient and rarely if ever screws anything up. Frankly I'm pretty shocked there haven't been ebola outbreaks in the TSA from them mouth breathing on their gloves after frisking people ![]() |

I'm a Mayo Clinic physician and it is just about that bad.
The only thing to do is to prevent it from getting here, which we still need to do to reduce the case burden. The CDC is lying about the risk and transmission. Ebola is in droplets when you cough or sneeze which can travel feet to yards, so it is "airborne". The US has nowhere near the Level 4 biohazard gear to care for two hundred Ebola patients little lone 2000 or more. Finally, the safe thing to do is to avoid people, which if .gov says out loud will crash the economy. Daily Mail reporting today that the NHS (British Health Service ) is already telling potential Ebola patients to NOT go to ER or clinic but to "call" for help by phone nurse. They already see that if Ebola patients hit their health team, all their health workers will die or quit. |
