  3. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    Horseshoe replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She said what she wanted to say, so rather than "laying low," she is probably just going about her normal business just like she always has. It's not like she's Angelina Jolie and the paparazzi have...

  4. Support Kaci Hickox

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ebola has been studied for decades. The science is not weak. For all the talk about "constant mutations," there is no evidence that asymptomatic individuals are a public health menace.

  5. Support Kaci Hickox

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You mean the TB patients who are actually infected with TB? The consensus among actual ebola experts across the world is that asymptomatic individuals are not contagious, therefore present no risk...

  6. Support Kaci Hickox

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Kaci did not object to "monitoring." She objected to being locked up while completely asymptomatic-not just afebrile, but entirely asymptomatic. No muscle aches. No malaise. No debilitating...

  8. Support Kaci Hickox

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If this disease is so easy to get before a person shows symptoms or even in the immediate aftermath of experiencing symptoms, we should have seen NUMEROUS infections of people exposed to Mr. Duncan...

  12. Help me bring this into the public!

    Horseshoe replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're free to make all the phone calls you wish, but the study she quoted had nothing to do with how infectious one is in their first hours of fever. She also conveniently neglected to post about...

  14. Help me bring this into the public!

    Horseshoe replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What does that have to do with the price of tea in China, or more specifically, Kaci Hickox? How does this prove that people who are ASYMPTOMATIC for Ebola are a public health threat? How does this...

  15. Help me bring this into the public!

    Horseshoe replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nonsense. Her cause is simply that she is not a public health threat WHILE ASYMPTOMATIC. She has never insinuated that she is incapable of getting ebola. She has acknowledged that possibility and...

  20. Help me bring this into the public!

    Horseshoe replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One should lose their nursing license for being bullheaded? One should lose their license for not behaving in the same manner as you would? It's one thing to disagree with this nurse and quite...
