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

    MissyWrite replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    American citizens cannot be detained and held against their will for no reason. It's one of the basic tenets of our society. Public hysteria, quite simply, is NOT a valid reason to relieve someone of...

    MissyWrite replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "When officials respond to panic with quarantine they basically say they can't trust public health officials, science and the ethics of doctors and nurses. There is no substitute for...

    Well, you know, cloth scrubs have to be laundered, and you wouldn't want to infect thousands of people! Or waste twenty bucks on them each day and just toss them in the incinerator. PAPER scrubs,...

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

    MissyWrite replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The whole thing is so crazy! And the fact that this quarantined nurse is in a tent-like structure, with no running water, no shower, no flushing toilet is beyond belief. Couldn't they at least put her...

    MissyWrite replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    EVERY American should be very afraid right now. Not afraid of Ebola -- afraid of our government. Every American should be outraged at just how easy it is to violate our basic human rights and our...

    MissyWrite replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The US has not been a humane society for a while now. It's a society screaming, "Let 'em die!" Let 'em die so I can live, ME ME ME, chicken little that I am! Protect me from non-existent threats, Mr....

    A 'little anxiety' is a good thing? I guess it is as long as he's not the one imprisoned without

    MissyWrite replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. And if they're doing it to 'try to make people feel safe,' they're doing a bad job. In fact, they're doing the opposite. They're feeding the hysteria instead of calming it. It's nothing more...

  12. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    MissyWrite replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I took no offense at all. I totally misunderstood your question, and the conclusion I came to is that you were kidding. I was not "degrading the profession." What degrades the profession are nurses...

    MissyWrite replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She was kidding -- she was being sarcastic. How do I know this? Her previous post made it clear she felt people are panicking without cause. I agree. But some things are known. We KNOW that direct...

  14. Nina Pham Ebola-Free, Discharged from Hospital

    MissyWrite replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's a good question. There's really no reason to do that, as far as I know. If they just let it sit undisturbed, any virus on surfaces would die within a few to several hours or days, at the...

  15. Nina Pham Ebola-Free, Discharged from Hospital

    MissyWrite posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Both Nina Pham and Amber Vinson are no longer infected with the Ebola virus! This is a cause for celebration. Nina has been discharged from NIH today, and says she is looking forward to reuniting with...

  16. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    MissyWrite replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hope not! I don't understand the reason for that. If things are left untouched, they pose no threat once the virus dies, which takes at the most several days, from what I understand. Another option...

    Bentley does look terrified, but he seems to have gotten used to these strange beings in hazmat suits. I saw a video of him playing ball with one them

    MissyWrite replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm sorry, but I'm not clear what you're asking. I think I detect some sarcasm......? While a low-grade fever may technically be considered 'symptomatic,' the patient is not yet 'symptomatic enough'...

    My apologies,

    It seems that Nina's go fund me account has taken in 89K, but Amber's only gotten 13K.

    MissyWrite replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah, Nina Pham is Ebola-free and will be discharged TODAY! Unfortunately, her sweet dog, Bentley, will remain in quarantine until Nov. 1. Luckily, Nina didn't take public transportation and escaped...

    MissyWrite replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And thank you for also being a voice of reason. Let's get a grip on reality. A person infected with Ebola is NOT a threat to casual contacts early in the disease process, such as when he has a fever...

  24. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    MissyWrite replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm dismayed that health professionals are getting their info on Ebola from embarrassingly low-level sources such as the NY Daily News, (like the infographic posted above). If this doctor was well...

    MissyWrite replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People experiencing hysteria don't recognize it as hysteria -- they see it as 'common sense.' Viral load is not at it's 'peak' early in the process, when someone first develops a fever. Add to that...
