Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 'Six Reasons to Panic' - Interesting Read

numbers from google, but let's use 4500. still not in a panic.

Rancho,
California is missing an idiot, best head home.

a lot. look into that speculation... HINT

Correct, stay calm, move quietly in the shadow, disinfect as needed.

I'm not advocating panic. I'm advocating the public holding the Administration's feet to the fire to be aggressive in attacking the Ebola problem. The initial actions have not given any reason to have confidence that the Administration can develop adequate plans to minimize the effect of the current Ebola outbreak on U.S. citizens who aren't going to West Africa.

Inept and the antithesis of proactive, with possibly some ideological corruption thrown in for good measure, seem to be the best descriptions for the current Administration. That is not the description for who you want trying to contain an outbreak of an awful and deadly (50-70% mortality) disease.

Keep listening to speculation. Makes you sound smart.

You must think its ok to bring in infected africans. Or maybe even cooler to send our troops over there. You should volunteer to go, you fearless wonder you.

More to the point:it MAY not be a real problem...yet. If and when it does it will be a nightmare problem. Objective:Prevent that from occuring.

Obama is in the works with allowing non citizens who are infected with Ebola to come to the U.S. for treatment?

I certainly am not panicking. And am the furthest thing from an Obama voter you could imagine.
I posed my post in the form of a question because I don't have the answers?
You fancy yourself as being smart, so care to answer my question?

The CDC has done a lousy job answering the concerns of people!
My girlfriend is a nurse and has been for over 20yrs, we have many conversations regarding infectious disease, and the protocol at the hospital for dealing with Ebola, I will give you a hint, here there is none!

So Rancho, what expertise do you have?
Sounds like you buy the Obama, CDC line, nothing to worry about.
Your Calif., background has infected you with the liberal disease it appears?
So do you have something besides smart azz remarks to add to the discusion?

What ruancho is really trying to say, is obama's got this all under control, and were all racists

aids, ebola and 200 years of feral groids, gifts from mutha africa that keep on giving.

Yep Gunner. And our fearless leader is determined to make us participate!

The government�s adamant refusal to ban travel to and from Africa, proves that Leftists are perfectly willing to have you die for their ideological beliefs.

Absolutely agree gentlemen.

The racists! How dare they!

Here's an official CDC position about airborne transmission of Ebola:

CDC Q&A on Ebola transmission

quote:------------------
Can Ebola spread by coughing? By sneezing?

Unlike respiratory illnesses like measles or chickenpox, which can be transmitted by virus particles that remain suspended in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids of a person who has symptoms of Ebola disease. Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that person�s eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease.
--------------------------------

That's not so worrisome - a little worrisome, but not too bad.

From the same Q&A webpage, here's CDC's official position about how long Ebola virus can live outside its host mammal:

quote:----------------
How long does Ebola live outside the body?

Ebola is killed with hospital-grade disinfectants (such as household bleach). Ebola dried on surfaces such as doorknobs and countertops can survive for several hours; however, virus in body fluids (such as blood) can survive up to several days at room temperature.
---------------------

Yes that's right, according to CDC, the Ebola virus could be alive and transmittable on surfaces in public places for several hours or even several days, depending on the situation. That info is not some sensationalized hype from a fear-mongering media outlet, it's from the foremost public health organization in the world.

These facts as presented by CDC show why we need to be aggressive with quarantines and travel restrictions before we have a problem here in the U.S. Not panic, just responsible aggressiveness is what we need and aren't getting from D.C.

And you spewing the government line makes you look like a genuis!!

You numbers don't mean schit. Look at the TOTAL number of flu cases per yer, then figure the percent that die.

That is what the Washington Examiner is reporting, based upon a Judicial Watch report. Is it true? Who knows? If it happens would you be surprised based upon what we have seen so far from the clowns in Washington? The other things to consider: who would pay for the care (it reportedly cost in the range of $500,000 to treat Thomas Eric Duncan) and where would they be treated?
