Ebola Patient Dies

[Antidisestablishmentarian]

Mr Duncan has died.

There is currently a second patient here that is possibly exhibiting symptoms.

This time, it's even closer to me:

I'm just happy I have free access to all the protective gear I could ever need for this due to my job.

I already own multiple styles of respirators, and have grabbed a box of tyvek suits from my guys. Also have surgical gloves and boot covers. It finally pays off to have my job lol.

 

[schuylaar]

didn't he receive the same experimental drugs that the doctor and nurse who were infected (and survived) receive?

his condition had been downgraded and now he dead?

something's seriously wrong in texas.

 

[Antidisestablishmentarian]

The experimental drugs don't always work.
Edit: he recieved different drugs then the first two the CDC brought to America. That stuff was used up on them and a few others.

They are about like the disease, 50/50.

The only thing wrong is the guy had Ebola and there is no cure.

after first being sent home

 

[Antidisestablishmentarian]

Yup. And that's the hospitals fault not Texas.

This guy apparently never reported he had contact with Duncan until his visit to Care Now today.

BTW, care now is a quack shack.

Just read, the new patient is a sheriffs deputy.

 

[Antidisestablishmentarian]

So the guy tested negative for Ebola.

Good stuff.

Drama.

You sound unnecessarily paranoid

You sound unnecessarily paranoid

You are worried about a 6' increase in sea level over 100 years and want to call someone who is concerned about a virus that will kill you in a week paranoid?? ROFLMFAO!!

Did you really just try to compare the overwhelming scientific consensus on the dangers of climate change to a single patients death via non-airborne virus in TX?... r..really?

To be clear, the change in sea levels is the least of my concerns regarding climate change, which is probably why you chose it, to undermine the significance. I'm more concerned with droughts, floods, stronger storm systems, shorter growing seasons, the economic costs of not doing anything and the inevitable human deaths that will result from all of those things, not to mention civil unrest and international conflicts that arise due to resource shortages all over the world.

But keep thinking progress in climate change is all about Al Gore and the polar bears, it illustrates how ignorant your position is to begin with

 

[sheskunk]

OH NOES!!!!!!

 

[NoDrama]

Even if you survive the disease, you are usually pretty much fucked up beyond all recognition (FUBAR) because all of your internal organs are liquified.

Liquid, you say?

I have a theory that I have developed myself with no solid experimentation.

Ebola evolved in Africa. All humans evolved in Africa but some moved out tens of thousands of years ago.

2 white people catch Ebola and survive. It kills 90% of the (black) africans who get it.

Ebola might be more lethal to blacks.

Malaria is more lethal to whites, so racial disparity in disease mortality is not uncommon.

An old white woman survived it for crying out loud.

Planet gets warmer, growing seasons get shorter?

The medieval period was warmer than we are now. It was warmer when jesus was born than it is now.

Global warming is going to be a good thing.

A big hurricane hasn't hit the US since 2005.

It's a fucking hoax dude.

Why would the overwhelming majority of climate scientists agree that it's real?

Lol we are constantly making jokes.

Stub your toe? Ebola.

Cut in your finger? Ebola.

Crash your car? Ebola

Now I actually do have all that PPE, it's required for my job. I deal with hazardous materials all day. So a little Ebola doesn't really frighten me.
