Show run by CDC. And it has to do with laboratory research conditions. Informed consent went out the window.

what could possibly go wrong with this? nt msongs Jul 2014 #1
Ask me again in a month -- Nuclear Unicorn Jul 2014 #14
This should not be allowed LittleBlue Jul 2014 #2
So we should put third-world health workers in jeopardy while they treat these patients? msanthrope Jul 2014 #5

These poor bastards. They are Americans, and we should take care of our own. nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #8
They knew the risk when they decided to evangelize their religion. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #9
As an atheist, I get what you are saying. But as an American, I think we have two duties: msanthrope Jul 2014 #16
Our citizens voluntarily went to Liberia and worked with Ebola pateints there. LisaL Jul 2014 #32
so just effing leave them wherever CreekDog Jul 2014 #207
and how you would treat Veterans that contract a contagious virus while in combat? Sheepshank Aug 2014 #288
But in this case Liberia welcomed our citizens to provide medical care for their citizens. pnwmom Jul 2014 #90
You don't see the duty to Liberia????? Perhaps you should look up the history of Liberia. nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #111
I don't think we have a particular duty in this situation, not. The doctors involved pnwmom Jul 2014 #115
We have a duty to our American citizens. Should you ever travel overseas, I hope you never face the msanthrope Jul 2014 #120
Do we not have a duty to American citizens that are already here? LisaL Jul 2014 #129
Yes. Can you explain how you are at risk for Ebola? nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #136
I have traveled overseas. If I ever contracted Ebola in my travels, I would HOPE the US... MohRokTah Jul 2014 #151
I would hope that in the default situation that these Americans find themselves in, they would. msanthrope Jul 2014 #167
Well, trained medical professionals who understand how Ebola is spread have contracted the disease. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #173
You missed number 4. Jenoch Jul 2014 #189
All three combined includes any permutation of "Shit happens". eom MohRokTah Jul 2014 #192
Numbers 1 and 2 do not fit your thoughts. Jenoch Aug 2014 #228
It went airborne. Perhaps the CDC just wants the bodies intact if they cannot treat msanthrope Jul 2014 #204
I doubt it went airborne. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #206

I agree with your findings. MohRokTah Aug 2014 #296
Not to mention there is a vaccine to be tested starting in September....to conclude in January.... VanillaRhapsody Jul 2014 #178
But what the CDC is saying is that the reason the disease has been contained to Africa pnwmom Aug 2014 #238
As an American I get what you are saying. But as a human being, I think we have one duty MohRokTah Jul 2014 #150
So because they believe in Jesus they're BAD? XemaSab Jul 2014 #54
No because they evangelize a religion they are rude. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #84
That's for the third world country in question to decide, not you. whathehell Jul 2014 #102
They knew the risks. They contracted a deadly virus. They should never be allowed back in the US. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #153
You seem to be predjudiced against anyone with a religious conviction. Jenoch Aug 2014 #232
No, I'm prejudiced against anybody infected with a virus that has a 90% mortality rate. eom MohRokTah Aug 2014 #234
Yeah, except the "noble medical workers from Doctors Without Borders" whathehell Aug 2014 #274
Your reding comprehension needs work. Jenoch Aug 2014 #276
It's an interesting position, that has been decided wrong. Jenoch Aug 2014 #239
Yes, but the "risks" be damned, you make it clear it's their being whathehell Aug 2014 #247

Helping Ebola patients in the name of Jesus is going to ruin Africa? XemaSab Jul 2014 #103
Don't let logic and facts get in the way of whatever it is they're peddling. Hekate Jul 2014 #143
No, contractnig Ebola should keep you permanently banned from re-entry into the US. eom MohRokTah Jul 2014 #152
Even after they recover and they're not contagious? XemaSab Jul 2014 #155
IF they recover and are no longer contagious, yes, they should be allowed in. MohRokTah Jul 2014 #157
There is no way a US citizen can be denied entry back into the United States treestar Aug 2014 #282

I feel the same about those who evangelize denial of treatment in the U.S. for U.S. citizens. LanternWaste Aug 2014 #254
Cool, then you can take credit if Ebola starts spreading in the US MohRokTah Aug 2014 #261
Well, sure, and besides, if they've Christians, they can't whathehell Jul 2014 #116

And if the safety procedures fail? LittleBlue Jul 2014 #15
Well, then we are fucked. Then again, how many flights from those countries have landed here? nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #18
We aren't fucked LittleBlue Jul 2014 #19
Should we leave them to die? nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #20
We should spare no expense to send them the treatment they need LittleBlue Jul 2014 #23
So what you want is third-world healthcare workers to face the fear of infection, but msanthrope Jul 2014 #24
yes , these countries should be under quarantine. Nobel_Twaddle_III Jul 2014 #31
I want to limit the spread of this virus LittleBlue Jul 2014 #33
And yet, you presume to know more about limiting the spread of the virus than the CDC. nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #34
No, but I don't necessarily think it should be their decision alone LittleBlue Jul 2014 #42
And a Liberian doctor died too. LisaL Jul 2014 #44
Yes, that's what I've heard LittleBlue Jul 2014 #46
You have no idea how they got ill...to presume that it will spread in the USA is spreading lies Sheepshank Aug 2014 #291
There are already carriers here. Already. nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #49
Is this speculation or has it been verified? LittleBlue Jul 2014 #52
Do the math. I'm serious. Do the simple math. How many flights out of these countries to the US? msanthrope Jul 2014 #57
No, Ebola is different LittleBlue Jul 2014 #64

which is why we need to study it....right away.... VanillaRhapsody Jul 2014 #180
false premise Sheepshank Aug 2014 #293

There's every indication it has...but still no reason to panic. Even airborne....its worst form... msanthrope Aug 2014 #258
No, no, no, no it hasn't gone airborne. Please provide a reputable link stating that it has done so. Hugabear Aug 2014 #294
So the CDC is lying when its says there are no cases in the US? pnwmom Jul 2014 #158
No--I think given the contagion period, we should expect that cases are already here. nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #163
The CDC says no. They say that patients are only contagious when they are sick, pnwmom Jul 2014 #165
that was before it became possible airborne....now we don't know... VanillaRhapsody Jul 2014 #181
The CDC is sticking to that view -- but I agree that we probably don't really know. pnwmom Jul 2014 #214
Dr. Brantley was taking all the precautions recommended by the CDC. pnwmom Jul 2014 #96
The other two who areadly died were using all kind of precautions as well. LisaL Jul 2014 #99
And this is the same CDC that was just discovered not protecting its smallpox stores. pnwmom Jul 2014 #101
It went airborne. But that's still not a reason to panic. nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #105
I'm not. Wondering about precautions isn't panicking. nt pnwmom Jul 2014 #112
I trust the CDC to take the proper precautions. nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #114
I trust the CDC less today than I did a month ago. pnwmom Jul 2014 #122
You really think the same people who forgot smallpox in a storage container are working on this? nt msanthrope Jul 2014 #127
I really think that all humans are capable of error. pnwmom Jul 2014 #128
Do you really think the CDC doesn't know how he got it? And they don't have a handle msanthrope Jul 2014 #140
Yes, I really think CDC has no idea how he got it. LisaL Jul 2014 #142
