I am not doubting you - but if so and the nurse who was treating the ebola patient wasn't isolated for days after falling ill - then we are stuffed.
Bad enough the one in America where they let someone go after knowing they had been in West Africa.
Nursing and medicine is a disaster waiting to happen.
in 21 days there are 63 shifts.
lets say 3 people per shift - that's 189 contacts at just one contact per shift (and that is way under practicality) ---------
if 188 of those contacts are perfectly performed and one stuffs up - once ---------- you are buggered.
One drop of ebola laden fluid contains between 500,000 and 1,000,000 viruses -
it takes contact with between 5 and 10 viruses and you have it.
After years of observing nurses and doctors ------------ I could count on one hand who I would trust with something like that.
Imagine if they have 20 patients -- or 200 patients - or thousands.
And then, it doesn't stop at nursing and medicine -- you have to get rid of the bodies -------- kilos and kilos and kilos of heavily contaminated oozing dead flesh.
That's pretty bloody scary ---------------------- and, it just gets worse ------------ if this thing ever gets airborne --
