I only say that because I'm a doctor
Comparing this to the black plaque is stupid. We're not all going to go to church and pray the devil away to help fight ebola.

I thank you all for taking your precious time and answering the poll for my assignment. This what I love about the 370z community, they're extremely helpful in any kind of situation.

Yep, thankfully those genes of ignorance died with the holders.

just realized i typed "plaque" instead of "plague". Make sure you brush your teeth people!

Some "doctor" you are, LOL.

Must be a doctor of Spanish or something :stirthepot:

Lol

I figured you were just trying to rhyme...

Brushing everyday keeps the halitosis at bay :tup:

I would tell you a joke about ebola, but you probably won't get it.

So I see now that a Doctor who just returned back from treating Ebola patients in Africa is sick in New York.

Wtf?? I wouldnt be surprised if more people he came into contact with on his flight and in New York are now carrying it.

I dont get it.

i have an idea.

let the african doctors deal with their problems.

US doctors stay here and deal with ours.

why are the "smartest" people always the most retarded.

From what they were saying he followed protocol on what to do since he was asymptomatic when he was in contact with people, however even if he is knowledgeable and been treating the disease when he was in Africa he should of been quarantined and tested for public safety.

It's not just doctors, but all other healthcare workers volunteering in africa.

and even regular people. They fly over to america not knowing they have ebola, and then when they get sick in america, they go to an american hospital and infect the doctors/healthcare workers here.

Africa needs doctors and volunteers to control the disease because of a lack of infrastructure and resources. but then you have the problem of healthcareworkers/volunteers not knowing they have ebola spread the virus abroad. They should quarantine all healthcare workers/volunteers BEFORE they leave west africa to ensure they dont have the virus.

it's just irresponsible to come back with the possibility of even spreading the virus further.

i get it. they dont have the means to battle it properly over there. but i feel if you wanna go over and help out good for you. just dont come back and bring that shit over here where it isnt needed. lol

can't we just take like doctors guilty of malpractice or black market organ dealing and bannish them to go help the africans? :stirthepot:

on a serious note: i get why people want to go and help but i do not see a reason why this should be a virus spreading on US soil where it should not even be an issue. keep that nasty stuff over there.

i think the main reason is people being naive that nothing like that can ever come or even happen in the U.S. Being a healthcare worker myself there was a little uncertainty with people i could come to contact with at work or even fellow co-workers which caused a lot of anxiety for everybody. For instance, the majority of healthcare workers are not properly trained to handle or even been in contact with these specifics patients. Granted we have protocols that we follow when dealing with isolated patients but this takes it to another extreme like the healthcare workers from Dallas. All in all being being more informed from the CDC as well as being trained properly its the only way that it can really be prevented from spreading.

Good gosh, people. Is Ebola dangerous? Sure it is. But it doesn't take a lot to avoid exposure. It can't survive for long outside of a host so don't come in contact with fresh vomit/blood/feces/&c. I don't know about you, but I already try to avoid such things (even when they aren't fresh).
