KG is a known Koolaid GUZZLER. Rapsberry's my favorite flavor. I have friends on both sides of the isle, I often disagree with both Dems and Repub's. I consider myself a free thinker, and I never follow the crowd. That makes me unpopular with members of both parties, and I'm actually quite flattered at that. After all, it was Dems and Repubs that screwed this nation up. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bit critical of the CDC, they should have been well out in front of this for hospitals here in the US. But haven worked in hospitals a few times, I'm not even remotely surprised that the hospitals didn't get it right. They tend to take the least precautions until someone gets bit, and then after that, follow the pack. And then there are some hospitals that are truly excellent and get it all right, but even then you can still have a problem. You fancy yourself a "free thinker" when actually you are a card-carrying member of the Kool-Aid swilling Useful Idiot Society. I know of very few on here who follow the crowd any more closely or harder than you regardless of how you see yourself.

If you don't see a "crowd" here or a "hive mind" at the Fire, you're either a HUGE suckup (meaning, you're REALLY insecure), or your powers of observation are just non-existent.

JeffZero considered hisself a "moderate".
Liberals often don't like to self-identify.

EV-D68 IS airborne. More people (read children) have died from it and been infected by it, by a GOODLY margin, than Ebola.
No one is crying about that.

EV-D68 is not getting the attention it deserves.
flu kills 23,607 people per year on average. as high as 48,000 on a bad year.
about ten times the Ebola deaths in this outbreak.
Guns don't kill people, drivers with cell phones kill people.

Flu isn't as 'sexy'. Most people have had a flu infection and survived.
Ebola turns you into a virus shedding pool of bloody jello that is capable of still booking a flight on travelocity before killing you 60% of the time.
That's the stuff of irrational panic right there. Now excuse me, I have to Google "hemorrhagic virus flavored koolaid".

Here's something to think about ...
What happens when flu season hits and people start showing up at health care facilities with Ebola like symptoms?
The "people" will be asking and demanding answers to the question ...
Do I have Ebola?

Do I have Ebola? Exactly. And do you quarantine them all? I was looking at our hospital the other day. It was built about 2002 IIRC. It's really set up for a tent city. Looks like a good way to kill off a lot of elderly and sick folk that would be sucking up bunches of Medicare and Medicaid monies.

That's exactly right. I don't know what the mortality rate is on all flu's combined, but it has to be way under 10%. That's nothing compared to 60-90% which is what has been seen in Africa.

I don't much GAF one way or the other about the 'fires group mentality or lack thereof. It is way down the list as far as what the rest of the USA or world does. You're a status quo Kool Aid chugger when it comes to the MSM. Unless we're talking fixing a gun, you're wrong most of the time and seldom realize it much less admit it. It's just rich as hell that you see yourself as some sort of rebel. You're the poster child for a follower. You should definitely vote for Ralph Nader again.

The National Guard is prepared to set up outside portable triage, for pandemics, with the assistance of the other service's medical corps.
