Sounds just like you potts.
My argument is that it isn't a disaster yet, and everyone is running around blaming the other side for a disaster that hasn't happened yet.
This isn't about "paranoia" or about being prepared.
It's about both sides declaring this a "disaster" when the disaster hasn't occurred yet.
But hey... look, you're already trying to figure out how to blame people too... with your "if the staff was properly trained..."
Yes, two healthcare workers contracting a highly contagious disease, that is veritably lethal isn't a disaster...unless you are one of the two healthcare workers. Oh well, Victor, in your view it's just "sucks to be them."
And how may people have they been in contact with since their initial exposure? Were they locked in a room somewhere until they became symptomatic? Or did they go shopping, kiss their kids before going to school, and so on?
You are veritable fountain of compassion, empathy, and understanding. Because all of that extensive training they got should have prevented this, right? Oh wait: it didn't. Gosh. Oh well, nothing to see here...
The fact is that this is a disaster in the making. Anybody with half a brain can figure that out. This isn't the a bunch of self-anointed health "experts" talking about how some obscure virus can mutate and - perhaps - go airborne. This is a disease that is lethal and very contagious right-frickin'-now, right out of the box.
And you? You dismiss it as hysteria, and being "uninformed."
Tell us, Victor, how long does it take for medications to get past FDA bureaucracy, all of the liability lawyers, regulations, and so on to actually make it to the market? If said Ebola medications are actually more than marginally effective?
A little paranoia on this is actually pretty healthy. But hey, you keep thinking your the smartest guy in the room on this. It's been working great!
