Theoretically there is no "outbreak" of Ebola in the US. We have 2 nurses that contracted Ebola from a guy
that is now dead. They contracted it most liked because someone screwed on procedures of handling bodily fluids.
Sweet jeebus! Will people quit parroting the idiot news outlets!!!!!!!
The first case WAS NOT A NURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is a nurses aid, which is basically a janitor for humans. I'm not demeaning her, but there are 6 registered nurses in my family, with a total of over 200 years experience combined. Mom worked as an RN for 53 years.
I really doubt she knew the risks, nor was she likely trained in contaminated bodily fluid handling.
Where did I say the first case WAS A NURSE ? or are you just saying that because she was an Aid
and not a full blown Nurse and not fit for the title of nurse? If that's what you're saying then you are demeaning her.
The last time I checked you can't become a Nurses Aid over night, maybe in Texas but not other places.
Why would you doubt she knew the risks? If she's watched 5 minutes of news in the last month she should have,
at the very least, seen videos of workers completely suited up like hazmat workers in Africa, that alone is
enough to tell anyone what kind stuff they would be dealing with. I agree that she probably wasn't trained correctly.
