    Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    wtbcrna replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This has been discussed numerous times, and you are incorrect. The experts and the CDC disagree with you. She had a potential sign that she might have been symptomatic that was later shown to be due...

    Kaci Hickox is asymptomatic she had slight elevation in her skin temperature at the airport, but when it was retaken orally she was afebrile. That makes her a low-risk asymptomatic

    Who is exactly thumbing their nose at the situation? This nurse has gone above and beyond to alleviate everyone's fear while still trying to maintain her civil rights. She is still avoiding public...

    He is an expert, but not an expert on ebola. There is a key difference. Experts will spend years sometimes decades studying one disease or phenomenon. Dr. Buetler is an expert in immunology,...

    Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    wtbcrna replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually, that is incorrect. There is no credible research that states asymptomatic persons will pass on ebola. By your statement we should quarantine everyone with a communicable disease, not drive...

    wtbcrna replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Tell me how that would work at your hospital, and the hospital/ward stay operational for 2 week stay of an ebola patient? Do the physicians, techs, and everyone else do the same thing? Now, let us...

    Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    wtbcrna replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I want some of that program. I wonder if your hospital has run the numbers on this though. How is it plausible to take 14-21 nurses every week plus other direct care staff out of commission for 3...

    There was also an expert that said ebola could develop into being transmitted in the air. That doesn't mean he was right or that it was clinically plausible. This quarantine is about politics not...

    Those research studies were already commented on. The conditions that you produce in a lab often do not correlate to real world situations. The commentary that all these asymptomatic ebola...

    Yes, so many ebola volunteers are publicity seekers... She did follow protocol. The protocols set up by medical evidence not politicians. What exactly doesn't the CDC know about ebola that you think...

    Why do you think she is doing this for publicity? She volunteers to goto Africa to treat ebola patients giving up her time and money. Does that really sound like someone who is looking to make a "book...

    That makes absolutely no sense. 1. She is asymptomatic. 2. She is unable to transmit ebola unless she is symptomatic. 3. Even if she were to develop a fever that doesn't mean she can automatically...
