If mucous membranes are an important mechanism of transfer avoiding inadvertent touches of hand to face may be the most important factor.

Fact #1. Rabies is more lethal than Ebola.

Fact #2. Rabies is more contagious than Ebola.

Fact #3. Rabies is under control.

Fact #4. Rabies is kept under control by men with guns.

Fact #5. Brains. Use them. Also Guns. Use them too.

I've seen the CDC protocols.

I've seen the CDC protocols. In my opinion they are a joke. "If hand gets contaminated scrub with alcohol", "If skin touches front of gown scrub with alcohol", no buddy system, no bleach spray down before removing gear, no taped legs/boots, etc etc.

The NYT says CDC is looking at having a decontamination room next to Ebola patient for bleach spray down as MSF uses in Africa. CDC should be following MSF guidelines.

There are CDC protocols for putting on and taking off personal protective equipment. It is best done with a buddy system observing the procedure from a distance

Parkland is one of many sources for video demonstration of the technique. Nurses are at highest risk because of more frequent contact with the patient

Nurses at Presbyterian are complaining about hospital reluctance to isolate the Ebola patient and port protective gear being provided. Bye bye Presbyterian.

wHY DO yOU tHINK tHEY sSTARTED IN TEXAS? GOT GUNS?

On a serious note.

Another Texas health care worker infected means we really need to upscale prevention of transmission. The fact is the cases at Emory recovered, the patient in Dallas did not, a Doc on NPR says a dying patient exudes virus like crazy, so the Emory patients may not have been as infectious as the Dallas patient, ergo, infection control CDC recommends may not be sufficient or enough.

Doctors without Borders does a chlorine bleach spray down before removing PPE and I think they use more and better secured PPE. I read CDC is looking into that, they better. And all hospital providers in the nation need education on this disease now.

That the Dallas victims family has been OK might indicate that virus transmission is most dangerous in late stages of the disease in a very sick/dying patient, when fluids are coming out in huge quantities. Of course, that would not mean PPE can be relaxed at any stage.

Virus statistics were in the NYT a couple days ago:

Peak of Illness, 1/5 teaspoon of bodily fluids:

untreated HIV: 50,000-100,000 virus particles

untreated Hep C = 5-20 million

Ebola - 10 billion (or 500 times highest possible with Hep C, 100,000 times HIV), 100 billion in full teaspoon and in latter stages patients emit 4-5 quarts fluid a day, which gets up into the number beyond trillions for # viruses.

You win the day NCD!

Oh, sure, you guys can laugh! I guess you've forgotten all about those prayer shawls they found on the illegal border crossing, huh? Well, in the same issue of that on line magazine, Jihadi Hi-Jinks (or is it High Times, I forget) the same guy who talks about making sex slaves out of those Yezidi girls says (verbatim)...."Greetings stupid infidels! Those prayer shawls that you've been hauling around from one dog and pony show to the next are impregnated with ebola. How do you like me now?"

Can't see any hole in this
