Ebola in New York

[kia027]

Yes, that is my point. I think the doctor should have kept himself to a three week, self-imposed isolation when he returned to the States and before he got close to his loved ones. Now he could be the cause of her death.

Her fault too though. I know if my SO came back from a Ebola hotspot they would not be getting anywhere close to me for three weeks.

Now it looks like the government is going to step in and require three week isolation periods for these aid workers.

Yes I think they both made a mistake in not isolating themselves dat is why mi noh think them would break up cause dem both at fault I guess.

Government should have had the quarantine from the get go

How can they say that it cannot be spread through the air?
I understand why they say it but it is just not true.....to forestall a panic

What if the person who is infected sneeze or cough?
Sneezing or coughing is the way in which the body tries to dislodge foreign particles which includes viruses.
In that case bodily fluids would now become airborne and in some cases suspended in the atmosphere for hours in microscopic droplets.

Anyway don't PANIC.....Just be prepared with the proper prophylactics.

so you have yours on?

My level of concern of the possibility of me getting this disease has been lowered by the observation that the people living with mr duncan were not infected.

seems to me that individuals have to be at the stage where they are very very sick to be highly contagious.

No....can't afford it.
So after taking basic precautions, I leave the rest to providence....right now.

Welcome to NY this way to quarantine

NY & NJ issued statement

anyone coming back from ebola hotspot including Drs and other health care workers, will be quarantined for 21 days. mandatory.

dem seh CDC guidelines not rigorous enough for the big apple

Christie is right fi quarantine dem.
"We are no longer relying on CDC standards, these are New York and New Jersey standards."

basically telling the CDC to step up dem game
