I hear/read you 000646.
I guess I understand you view that you have a right to think specific procedures may not work, but what would be wrong with ALL measures of containment being enacted, even the ones that in hindsight would turn out to be fruitless, until we could have gotten a handle on this?
Again, Ebola is a dreaded plague in Africa and we must realize that the idea it cannot be such a problem in America is dangerous. Viruses mutate.
Aside from this, I am glad that most of those thought to be infected have not been, thank heaven.
On another, similar note, do you know just how off they are in the protection offered in the flu shots? And they have been offering them for decades, I think.
Professional health care workers have made arguments that flu shots are way off in offering protection from the strains that actually become manifest, and are not nearly as complete protection as believed.
Basically, we humans know about as little about things as we do know a lot about things. We have great knowledge on one hand and we are clueless on other hands.
I vote for extra measures to cover the bases of saving human life. And if I were a health care worker helping Ebola patients, and I had to be quarantined, I would never dare have the chutzpah to violate the protocol.
