Why Protective Gear Isn’t Stopping Ebola | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 24146935 United States 10/27/2014 08:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Saying Ebola patients only infect two others is complete horseshit! Let's think about it.....one person has Ebola and sells weed. Or works in a service industry like pharmacy or fast food. Statistic in Africa will not adhere to outbreak in USA. Cultures are FAR too different. |

That’s the thing about progress; all the word means is “continued movement in the same direction.” If the direction was a bad idea to start with, or if it’s passed the point at which it still made sense, continuing to trudge blindly onward into the gathering dark may not be the best idea in the world. Break out of that mental straitjacket, and the range of possible futures broadens out immeasurably. John Michael Greer |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24146935 Let's think about it.....one person has Ebola and sells weed. Or works in a service industry like pharmacy or fast food. Statistic in Africa will not adhere to outbreak in USA. Cultures are FAR too different. Roi is based on an average. While true one person may work fast food and infect 4, others will be in a position to NOT spread the pathogen thus infect no one. Out of two patients, one infecting 4, and one infecting 0 the ROI is 2. This is why the ROI has historically ranged from 1.4 to 3 over the weeks (and why it changes from report date to report date) because the number of people currently infected are infecting others at varying rates depending on life style, treatment, etc. Sent from my iPhone 12 - because I'm better than you. |

User ID: 64526704 United States 10/27/2014 11:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ...AND...it isn't just the protective gear for hospitals and emergency responders that is in question. Think about the cleaning needed behind someone who is ebola-symptomatic. I'm referring to the insanity surrounding the cruise ship "Carnival Magic" for one example....but it can be an issue with the apartment cleaners in Dallas, Tx...the crew that was contracted to clean Dr. Spenser's place this week in New York City (NO protective gear at all and not even rubber gloves!!!) This bug can live on surfaces for 5 days minimum...and at 40 F. up to 50 days!!! Quote from the thread: Check out the "cleaners" who were to "sanitize" the cruise ship Carnival Magic when the Dallas, TX lab supervisor (thought to be showing symptom was onboard!). Does this look like they are going to insure that the passengers coming onboard after they docked in Galveston, TX are safe? Unbelievable lack of guidelines for handling this bug!

User ID: 59948382 United States 10/27/2014 12:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | >>>As Texas health workers prepare two new biocontainment units to help treat any future Ebola patients the state might have, they're are using one piece of training equipment from a neighboring state that may surprise you: Tabasco sauce. At the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where one of the units is being established, the staff has been practicing treating fake patients who have been sprayed at random with the peppery sauce as a stand-in for Ebola virus-laden fluids. Doctors and nurses practice dressing and undressing in their protective gear to avoid contamination, but if they feel the tingle of Tabasco on their skin, they know they've been contaminated.<<< [link to abcnews.go.com] I've been busy harvesting lots of peppers from my garden and I can tell you 100% that a N-95 mask and a pair of Latex gloves are WORTHLESS when it comes to protection from cayenne pepper dust. (Yes the mask was fitted correctly, NO the gloves were not taped to my shirt) So If the mask and gloves did not protect me from peppers, I don't have much faith in a mask and gloves protecting me from Ebola either. Full SCUBA gear is probably the only way to go! lol |

User ID: 1313498 United States 10/27/2014 01:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All we can do is minimize our exposure and exposure risk. I still live a normal life but for how long I am on the fence about that. Many of us have gotten N100 and more but few wear them, however for now I do not leave my home with out a MARF it is a MAsk in the form of a scaRF. Again only way to avoid it 100% is to live in a bubble. Also if people would cough and sneeze into a MARF instead of their sleeve or worse open air it would reduce the spread of many illnesses. As for the moment we are more likely (in the USA) to catch the flu, as for me and most of us all we can do is improve our chances not to catch something. The nice thing about the MARF it is fashionable too cold climate is obvious to help keep us warm and warm climate even in the air-conditioning it is nice to have a scarf. The MARF also produces negative ions (the good ions) which promote blood circulation so although the MARF can keep you warm it also is comfortable the wear in any climate. I actually wrap it around my waist if I get to warm and it helps with lower back pain too! It is black because carbon is melted into the fibers as is silver, you can even bleach it and it will not fade. I wash mine everyday. How to use it someone coughs or sneezes cover up and walk away, oh first I say God Bless. They are available on Amazon and more info at marfs.com All the best to everyone! |
