I will be stunned if they even resign.<br /><br />Ready for some more fun facts? I'm a temp worker. At the last place there was a guy who was a little slow. Couldn't really spot it right away, but after a day of workig w/him - yes, he's a little slow. Took me 3 tries to get him to understand that if you suspect that you have ebola (as Duncan did) you do NOT walk into an emegancy department. He keep saying "but the guy was really sick! what else was he supposed to do?" I keep telling him "what somebody did later! call CDC! You do NOT walk your infectious self into a room full of people!"<br /><br />I'm hoping he actually got it. Not willing to lay bets on it though.<br /><br />So your fun fact for today is that at least 1 other person thinks that it is totally acceptable to walk into a room full of people when you have something deadlt & contagious.<br /><br />Sleep well. :-P<br /><br />dinvancouverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615497490885488809.post-76660490843264895232014-10-15T12:37:59.190-07:002014-10-15T12:37:59.190-07:00The individuals, not the 'hospital' but th...The individuals, not the 'hospital' but the real people with real names who earn real money and who really knew how dangerous this is need to be brought up on both civil and criminal charges. Personal accountability for the leadership. The top administrator of the hospital should have stood in front of cameras and begged the CDC for help if he wanted to cover himself and more importantly the innocent nurses, clerks, patients, janitors, etc. Hospitals do not make decisions. Individual people with names make decisions. They are paid a lot. They must be held accountable or this will never end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615497490885488809.post-16661882649844577072014-10-15T08:20:39.081-07:002014-10-15T08:20:39.081-07:00Well said.
Unfortunately exercising those traits ...Well said.<br /><br />Unfortunately exercising those traits to any effective degree and in a timely manner is going to require either a monumental shift in attitude, or the functional equivalent of a coup, whether that involves legal means like impeachment, or tanks on the White House lawn, or a mob with torches and pitchforks, a tumbrel cart, and a guillotine.<br /><br />Watching things devolve to cascading levels of disaster requires nothing but continued official inertia and repeated demonstration of mind-boggling incompetence.<br /><br />Though I hope I'm wrong, I'm betting on the latter being what we get.Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615497490885488809.post-89516574298291695442014-10-15T07:33:31.839-07:002014-10-15T07:33:31.839-07:00I'm still clinging to the hope that the CDC an...I'm still clinging to the hope that the CDC and other medical authorities are capable of learning and adapting, and will do so. We face a terrible threat in Ebola, but it's neither the first nor the worst global crisis that America has weathered, and it doesn't have to become that. At our best, as a society, we have proven that we can be resilient and resourceful. We have a demonstrated track record of exceeding ourselves, not least because of our willingness to help one another in times of need and because of our deeply ingrained traits of pragmatism and common sense. Those traits, I'll grant you, have been seldom seen or heard from in recent years; but I will not believe that they have somehow vanished completely from our national character.
