Re: [North Georgia Democrats] Unintended consequences?

W Lorraine Watkins commented on her post in North Georgia Democrats. W Lorraine Watkins 9:06pm Oct 2 Parochialism Sherie. It will eventually do us in.. Comment History Sherie S. Luffman 8:33pm Oct 2 I ask again. Why is it suddenly a crisis when it's in the United States when it was less than headline news when it was only in Africa? W Lorraine Watkins 2:15pm Oct 2 Cheryl. If CNN's reporting I am watching now is correct on how they have and are handling this case on the ground we are in deep trouble. It looks to me like the CDC is leaving the management of the quarantine etc to local people who IMO don't know what they are doing. That's Texas but I wonder if Georgia would be any different. I imagine all the diminished numbers of the CDC contagion teams are in Africa. W Lorraine Watkins 2:12pm Oct 2 Natasha. That is amazing. Once I left academia for private practice I really never kept up with that period, I have lots of memories but mostly the people and the process and I do try to keep up with the general progress of medical research and care as it is today. Cheryl Phipps 1:03pm Oct 2 It's only a "different" disease here because there aren't near the number of cases! Good grief! Natasha Stark 12:32pm Oct 2 :-D Did you know you're still being cited? You should google scholar yourself ;-) View All Comments Original Post W Lorraine Watkins 10:00pm Oct 1 Unintended consequences? More information on the Liberian under treatment in Texas seems to suggest he knew full well he had been exposed to Ebola and actually quickly sought out medical attention telling them of his concern about Ebola. I would love to know if he bought his airline ticket before or after he had contact with the woman who died from it along with her brother in Liberia? All the Medical ptb are out there reassuring the US that the medical care for Ebola is so much better than in Africa, specifically Liberia. "it is a different disease in the US than in Africa" they say. It would be hardly surprising that Liberians who worry about contact would head for the airport. So do we have a moral obligation to bring Ebola victims here for life saving treatment? View Post on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.
