Dallas nurses cite sloppy conditions in Ebola care

 

Please, don't let human error be a factor. It messes with the pandemonium feel of the story.

Second Texas healthcare worker tests positive for Ebola... CDC admits Ebola possibly airborne.. Second Texas healthcare worker tests positive for Ebola

 

Some erroneous reports online perpetuate that Ebola is an airborne risk. Ebola is not airborne and cannot be found in respiratory droplets. The typical route of transmission is by coming in contact with the bodily fluids of an infected individual. While it is not airborne by definition, the particularly scary aspect to this virus is that it has such a low infectious dose with such a high mortality rate.

Thank God. Walking around in this Tyvek suit is sooooooo hot. And the paranoia that comes if it rips. I need a new respirator also. Whew.

 

 

Thanks, Hatz. :thumb:

Terminus.

Glad I could help Purple. I know there's only so much Yuengling to cool you down. :thumb:

Approximately 53,000 people in the U.S. died from the flu last year. Don't worry about what you don't have control over. Take precautions to prevent what you can possibly control.

They should be in high gear. They should be doing all they can to stop the widespread panic on Facebook. Let Facebook tell it we'll all be infected by the end of the week.

 

Seriously though, I am not scared of Ebola and once again I am trusting those smarter than I am to handle it properly. The only way it can be handled is for the CDC to be in high gear and find out the truth about Ebola and pass that info on to us for our safety.

 

I wish I could trust those smarter than me to handle this properly but based on how poorly they have done so far and how so many things they have told us have turned out to not be the case, I don't trust the CDC right now...

Here are the current WW numbers

 

October 14'th CDC official numbers - 8,914 Infected 4,447 Dead.

 

Here was projected progression posted in another forum back in March:

 

Mar, 2014 - Infected: 104 Dead: 62

Apr, 2014 - Infected: 194 Dead: 116

May, 2014 - Infected: 360 Dead: 216

Jun, 2014 - Infected: 670 Dead: 402

Jul, 2014 - Infected: 1,247 Dead: 748

Aug, 2014 - Infected: 2,319 Dead: 1,391

Sep, 2014 - Infected: 4,313 Dead: 2,588

Oct, 2014 - Infected: 8,022 Dead: 4,813

 

 

Do you want to see the rest of the progression through 2016?

I didn't see anything in the article suggesting that the CDC admits Ebola is possibly airborne. They said something went awry in the treatment of Duncan. I didn't see the words "airborne" or "CDC admits" in the article.

 

 

I'll get it when I get home but it is suggested to be treated as an airborne biological weapon.

 

OF course people are going to throw the healthcare workers under the bus saying they didn't follow protocol.

 

 

Protocol would be to shut down all flights from that part of the World.....

Why would you?

 

This Presidential Administration does EVERYTHING based on how it will poll, not on how it will be effective.

Why would the CDC tell the truth, they dont want you to know the truth.

You can't handle the truth!

C. Droplet Precautions

Apply to patients known or suspected to be infected with a pathogen that can be transmitted by droplet route; these include, but are not limited to:

Respiratory viruses (e.g., influenza, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, human metapneumovirus)

Bordetella pertusis

For first 24 hours of therapy: Neisseria meningitides, group A streptococcus

Place the patient in an exam room with a closed door as soon as possible (prioritize patients who have excessive cough and sputum production); if an exam room is not available, the patient is provided a facemask and placed in a separate area as far from other patients as possible while awaiting care.

PPE use:

Wear a facemask, such as a procedure or surgical mask, for close contact with the patient; the facemask should be donned upon entering the exam room

If substantial spraying of respiratory fluids is anticipated, gloves and gown as well as goggles (or face shield in place of goggles) should be worn

Perform hand hygiene before and after touching the patient and after contact with respiratory secretions and contaminated objects/materials; note: use soap and water when hands are visibly soiled (e.g., blood, body fluids)

Instruct patient to wear a facemask when exiting the exam room, avoid coming into close contact with other patients, and practice respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette

Clean and disinfect the exam room accordingly (refer to Section IV.F.4.)

D. Airborne Precautions

Apply to patients known or suspected to be infected with a pathogen that can be transmitted by airborne route; these include, but are not limited to:

Tuberculosis

Measles

Chickenpox (until lesions are crusted over)

Localized (in immunocompromised patient) or disseminated herpes zoster (until lesions are crusted over)

Have patient enter through a separate entrance to the facility (e.g., dedicated isolation entrance), if available, to avoid the reception and registration area

Place the patient immediately in an airborne infection isolation room (AIIR)

If an AIIR is not available:

Provide a facemask (e.g., procedure or surgical mask) to the patient and place the patient immediately in an exam room with a closed door

Instruct the patient to keep the facemask on while in the exam room, if possible, and to change the mask if it becomes wet

Initiate protocol to transfer patient to a healthcare facility that has the recommended infection-control capacity to properly manage the patient

PPE use:

Wear a fit-tested N-95 or higher level disposable respirator, if available, when caring for the patient; the respirator should be donned prior to room entry and removed after exiting room

If substantial spraying of respiratory fluids is anticipated, gloves and gown as well as goggles or face shield should be worn

Perform hand hygiene before and after touching the patient and after contact with respiratory secretions and/or body fluids and contaminated objects/materials; note: use soap and water when hands are visibly soiled (e.g., blood, body fluids)

Instruct patient to wear a facemask when exiting the exam room, avoid coming into close contact with other patients , and practice respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette

Once the patient leaves, the exam room should remain vacant for generally one hour before anyone enters; however, adequate wait time may vary depending on the ventilation rate of the room and should be determined accordingly*

If staff must enter the room during the wait time, they are required to use respiratory protection

That is for TB etc., the fact that this can be spread somewhat similar is telling.

I'll get it when I get home but it is suggested to be treated as an airborne biological weapon.

That slows economies.

 

Slow economies prevent debt from being paid to (central) banks - and create lots of other negatives as well. Banks do not like not getting their money back. They go bankrupt. But can not be allowed to happen with a centralized monetary system. So the dice is rolled. Hope for the best.
