Those are some true gems, Tzarine! I love #3: Avoid risky situations that could land you in the ER. That might actually work to increase safety-though maybe not because of Ebola.

No man, the official cure for Ebola is a porcupine's eye, a snake's heart and $200 US! Seriass!

Someone posted an Ebola cure on Throntree that was pretty similar--take lots of certain vitamins, especially vitamin C, and you will never get Ebola. See, Ebola just a sort of advanced case of scurvy.

well - I'm proud of Maine and her judges ( surely not proud of our egregious governor!) excerpts from article today: Judge lifts nurse's quarantine ( the judge is La Verdiere)
"She won,she is not quarantined. She can go out in the public. ... (The judge) got the understanding of what liberty is about and how the government can't restrict your liberty unless there is compelling justification."
At the news conference, another lawyer for Hickox, Steve Hyman, called the decision "an indication of thoughtfulness versus irrationality" and said his client had become "a prisoner because of misconceptions and a whole host of irrational arguments."
Hyman said he hoped politicians applied "the same kind of thinking and rationality" as LaVerdiere did when dealing with Ebola.
Late Thursday, the judge had ordered stricter limits on Hickox, requiring that she "not to be present in public places," such as shopping centers or movie theaters, except to receive necessary health care. The temporary order permitted her to engage in "non-congregate public activities," such as walking or jogging, but said she had to maintain a 3-foot distance from people. And it forbade her from leaving the municipality of Fort Kent without consulting local health authorities.
In Friday's ruling, LaVerdiere praised Hickox for lending her skills "generously, kindly and with compassion" to "aid, comfort and care" for Ebola patients.
"We owe her and all professionals who give of themselves in this way a debt of gratitude," he wrote.
While many people were acting out of fear that is not entirely rational when it comes to the deadly Ebola outbreak, the judge said that fear was present and real.
The actions of Hickox, as a health professional, "need to demonstrate her full understanding of human nature and the real fear that exist," LaVerdiere wrote. "She should guide herself accordingly."
Hickox said she has been sensitive to those fears.
"This is one of the reasons I am saying this battle isn't over," she said. "We need to continue this discussion. We need to continue educating ourselves and I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. I think so far Ted and I have shown a lot of respect to this community. We care about the community."

Just read the whole thing and feel as if I've relived the last two months. Great thread, thanks to you all and especially Welle's updates during the worst of the scare.
I was so furious about the hospitals response to the patient in Dallas. I G N O R A N T ! No communication between intake personnel, nurses, and doctors.
Then we were told to trust the CDC. No freaking thank you. Now that healthcare workers have gone on strike in many places to get proper ebola safeguards in their hospitals, many people can let out that big breath they've been holding in. More difficult to identify and track as it enters our borders, tho.

So I spent today at UCSF Med Center and in each doctor's office/clinic, I was asked if I had traveled to Africa in the last 21 days or had been around anyone with Ebola.

The media here doesn't write/talk about Ebola anymore. I wonder if the situation in Aftica is any better now?

Not in Sierra Leone. A young friend from there who is currently studying at a university in the US is losing heart as more people he knows die.

Here is some data from the BBC news site: Ebola: Mapping the outbreakIt is quite promising in as much as it indicates a general slowdown (perhaps too early to judge in Sierra Leone) but even if so it may mean that they are only a bit passed halfway.
