Fluffy Friday
Author: wickedpam    Date: 10/03/2014 13:02:11

Shallow though it may be, the world needs more cute. Reminders of the adorable, funny, and sweet can balance a sometimes very dark world.



Thanks for the link to this Bob

scurries to find that info
here it is:
The officials said it had been difficult to find a contractor willing to enter the apartment to clean it and remove bedding and clothes, which they said had been bagged in plastic. They said they now had hired a firm that would do the work soon. The Texas health commissioner, Dr. David Lakey, told reporters during an afternoon news conference that officials had encountered “a little bit of hesitancy” in seeking a firm to clean the apartment.

The delay came amid reports that as many as 100 people could have had contact with the victim, Thomas E. Duncan. And it came a day after the hospital acknowledged it had misdiagnosed him when he first visited.
My question: Why are they contracting this? Don;t we have federal authorities that do Hazmat work?

Distressing news yesterday. my godson, Alex has relapsed back into his addictions and other issues. His current whereabouts are unknown. His mom has cut off contact with him. I don't know if his dad has or not. I will be finding out later.

No, Scoop that wasn't a handy. I think Kilmeade brought his knee pads and lip balm for that.

Indeed. Shouldn't the CDC be all over this? But one must wonder how much their budget has been cut, or if the sequester (remember that?) has played a role here.

I was about to say that too.. Tho since the sequester was implemented at least the executive branch has taken its own initiative.

Because, Texas.

To be serious, I think the way the disease outbreaks like Ebola are handled something like this: The CDC provides the epidemiology support and disease research. The county/city health department handles stuff like the quarantine and decontamination stuff. The whole national, state and local thing.

I seem to recall that this is how it works as well. For now, I just hope that this is contained.

I'm amazed that Boehner and the other House GOP goons didn't try to take credit for it, by claiming it's a result of their fiscally responsible tookus-sitting..
In fact, Boehner completely dismissed the report!

Or maybe it's because this is Rick Perry's idea of a hazmat crew.

I had my visit to the podiatrist this morning and now just settling back online.

Comment by TriSec on 10/03/2014 17:46:31
What's the mortality rate of this thing? Maybe a nice red- state epidemic might alter the balance of power? ( I know ebola doesn't care what side of the aisle you're on. But we wash our hands... With soap. They have their faith in a great sky-spirit. I'll take my chances in Massachusetts.)

Can we all stop and take a deep breath, please? How to we know this is the crew cleaning up the complex where the family lives? It could be anywhere. Yes, Rick Perry is a ginormous asshole, but even he isn't that irresponsible. We are all playing into our worst stereotypes about red states and Texas in particular. Yes, Ebloa is a scary disease, but remember it is hard to get.

That stuff..

My friend is still in recovery from that shit. She's been in a methadone program now since 2012, but she was supposed to be finished almost a year ago. Every time her dosage is reduced to a certain level she starts freaking out from even the most mild withdrawl symptoms and the doc raises it again. I know she's freaking out because she doesn't want to fall back into the real stuff, but she has to accept that if she wants to beat this thing there HAS to be some discomfort.

Of course, I have yet to say that to her. Things have been so busy for both of us lately (both of our work schedules, plus she's personally caring for a friend with aggressive cancer)

In all seriousness, I get that I'm maybe letting my political bias add into this mess.

And yeah I realize it's hard to catch this bug. However I just feel that the response here is seriously lacking respect for the basics.

The virus is spread by contact with infected bodily fluids. Yes, that includes vomit, which was on the sidewalk there. Yes, it was out into open for a few days, baking in the sun which given enough time can break down the virus. Neighborhood residents and pets have come walking by. I'm sure there's been at least one curious dog near there, despite any constant police presence.

The virus is destroyed by bleach, and concentrated bleach is needed depending on the amount of bodily fluid present. However, there's no confirmed reporting about whether the vomit was treated/soaked with bleach (or even if there was bleach in the power washer). And cmon.. the cleaning crew should at the very least been wearing fisherman's gaiters.

Gotta have proper respect for what this thing can do. Not panic.

I have not had any lengthy conversation with my lifelong friend in more than a year now. He spent almost that length of time in various institutions. His drug of choice is painkillers, though.

He is back home, but nobody has any faith that he won't relapse, sad to say.

So, on the way home, WTOP radio is reporting that we have two people in two hospitals who may have Ebola symptoms and both were in Nigeria. Ine is at Shady Springs, the other at Howard.

I seriously hope this out of an abundance of caution.
