…...and IMO if the media had relentlessly highlighted that for months and months (and currently) over there are cultural rituals which include a lot of direct hands on touching and (when victims are oozing virus at the highest rate). holding the dead. In addition there burial notions are widely problematic as it relates to getting into a problem over there.
IMO that is huge-- as is the living conditions as it relates to Ebola.
I hope she does not follow that illegal order to stay in prison in her own home after risking her life. She is a health professional if she started to feel ill she would report. The media keeps playing this like these people are just being defiant totally disregarding that these are pros, have seen the devastating illness in action. These folks also know the immense impact quick treatment has on outcome. Athens person has a personal investment , when feeling ill, coming from there to get themselves help. Media keeps playing like folks are resistant to getting help IF NEEDED!
These folks do not need to be baby sat they know more than the folks that are (as evidenced by what happened) making up half as# rules every 18 hours that have nothing to do with Ebola – its election time, and everyone is screaming lock folks The people that are making these choices decide how much money to spend on traffic lights, or highways.
If they are using the test to lock people up then they should use the test to open the cell door --- having it both ways makes even less sense. A lot less sense! Only a govt official can come up with that kind of logic. It makes no sense. You need chemo if tests show you have cancer, AND you need chemo if tests show you are cancer free. WTH is that??
=We do not (hypothetically) incarcerate Americans without some sort of process.
=We do not commit the mentally ill to long term placement without process.
=We do not (supposedly) use uncalibrated breathalyzers in accusing someone of driving impaired. There are testing standards.
=We do not allow LE to block egress from our homes. Reminds me of the back of the bus.
We certainly do not do the same thing they did to poor Bentley – locking her up – supposedly for 21 days, without running water, and toilet that does flush, is nothing short of repulsive IMO. Bentley, I hope had his cage changed.
Land of the free home of the brave..
Now, if, from day one, what the majority of experts have clearly stated – it is not transmittable until viral loads are high enough to shed, has
proven to not be the norm – there may be a justifiable reason to implement some strategies for jailing Americans in there home. Incarcerating innocent (negative tests) –is a problem in my opinion.
And I do think they will proceed - and I believe they will win a cavil rights case – govt has authority to do some stuff when danger is clear and cut.
It is vital to remember the following, its a wonderfully staggering fact:
Outside of Africa, on the planet, 4 human beings have died from the Ebola virus
IMO this hardly an uncontrollable entity. It has been controlled in western countries and shall continue to be IMO
and all the madness is directly related to the media hunger to increase the rates on their ads --it is reprehensible
Agreed. The amount of virus topic was presented by a doctor on CNN (earlier today) stating the idea of virus amount needs exploration. Considering the number of infected people each medical worker is exposed to on a daily basis it is common sense to think there'd be increased odds of infection, but, it only takes one person. Maybe in West Africa the medical professionals are being exposed to later stages of the disease too. One would think, the numbers and exposures would increase their odds. Yet Gitana posted the stats indicate otherwise, probably because they use strict protocols in West Africa. There isn't much to compare though, right?
Heck, I know nothing - just trying to repeat what I think I've heard.
