Not dooming 100% - he's actually providing a pretty huge opportunity for other Democrats, people like Cuomo who buck a President in their own party to do right by their constituents come out of this looking really, really good -- far more so even than Republicans who do so because they are risking blow-back from within their own party by going against a sitting Democratic President.
One small cluster of Ebola patients in the US blows that all to hell.
For you too, she wore equipment that has a very high probability of preventing exposure. We don't know if she was exposed or not. It doesn't seem likely. Think this stuff through. Exposure to a disease means you actually were exposed, not in the room with a protective suit on. By your weird logic, all people who worked with the 8 US patients should now be locked up somewhere because the were "exposed".
Every healthcare worker that has contracted ebola wore protective suits.
Since the hundreds and hundreds of volunteers that have been in and out of West Africa this year haven't infected anyone in their home countries, the WHO guidelines seem to be adequate. There isn't any need to quarantine anyone. And Ebola is not Typhoid.
What happened to "Ebola is not the flu" that you were posting a week or so ago.
You've moved up in serious diseases at least.
IDK, the nurses on the forum seem to be in her corner. I think medical people in general consider this a politicization of their turf. She may well be a hero to them. If she does come down with Ebola though, her cause is dead, dead, and then dead some more.
My sister ( a nurse in a hospital) says her and her coworkers think she's an arrogant spoiled child with the public outrage and doing a lot of damage to nurses in general with her arrogance that she knows she doesn't have Ebola.
Ebola is a lot easier to catch than health officials have admitted — and can be contracted by contact with a doorknob contaminated by a sneeze from an infected person an hour or more before, experts told The Post Tuesday.
“If you are sniffling and sneezing, you produce microorganisms that can get on stuff in a room. If people touch them, they could be†infected, said Dr. Meryl Nass, of the Institute for Public Accuracy in Washington, DC.
Nass pointed to a poster the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly released on its Web site saying the deadly virus can be spread through “droplets.â€
“Droplet spread happens when germs traveling inside droplets that are coughed or sneezed from a sick person enter the eyes, nose or mouth of another person,†the poster states.

Nurses are allowed to have different opinions just like anyone else.
[quote=Katiana;37087403]Yes. You've made it sound like we all think like you.[/QUOTE
I hope not. Nurses training is similar in the united states and the fact that have opinions on the politics of this case is understandable. How would you support Kaci if she were your patient?

The suit is no guarantee, just a very good chance.
