Oh I have no doubt. I thought from the beginning that this was just Jerry throwing turds at the wall to stir everybody up. But I find the debate outside of the turd interesting. If they got 5% on top of ours, how on earth can we expect to get 40%? I would love to hear some of the answers to that.....

Probably. they might even have to take a paycut. too bad.

Mesabah,

Here's some twisted logic from the CDC. You can give but you can't receive. Makes no sense at all to me. Probably perfectly clear to you.

"Dr. Tom Frieden, director for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said during a telephone press briefing Wednesday that you cannot get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but that infected or exposed persons should not ride public transportation because they could transmit the disease to someone else."

Say again?????

Deltanet page has "ebola info" now...
basically wash your hands, 60% alcohol goo will work with no soil present, and don't touch your mouth/nose/eyes.

So...
1. First, why am I still getting these crappy cleaner pads without enough actual liquid in them to remotely clean the O2 mask from the sick guy who coughed into it before me? Why don't we get a little bottle of purcelle and some blue nitrile gloves like the TSA guys?
2. Think we'll still get sick verification calls if we're sitting home with a plugged up nose, sneezing? How much does Delta want us standing in the door saying "Buh bye!" and wiping my nose with tissue in one hand due to allergies? I'm thinking a conservative "don't show up to work with even the impression of sickness, even if it's hayfever!" would be a good thing for them to publish...

Please no one take this post too seriously and reply with a lecture... ;)
Seriously, I'm going to go buy some Purile today, and wear some flight-gloves, or what not. And I'd like one of them Darth Vader masks while working, too...

We're just getting into the flu season...I can only imagine everyone flying (but shouldn't be) with the runny noses and low grade fevers. I'm not totally creeped out but I really don't want to be using a lav on a transoceanic flight after 75 people have been in there. I'm buying purell, varilux sanitizing wand and carrying disinfectant wipes ( haven't decided on the latex gloves and blocking off a lav for crew members only yet).

From a personal health standpoint? No. From an economic standpoint? Yes. Why yes? Because, I can feel people are getting panicky. Why not the former?

Here's why: So far, we have two nurses who have contracted ebola. These nurses handled the original victims bodily fluids, inserted catheters, and took blood from him. Ok fine. I don't plan on doing that for anyone anytime soon.

You think it might be transmitted a little easier than that? You think you can get if from being on the same airplane as someone with ebola? Well, maybe. But, if so, why haven't any of the original patients family members contracted ebola? So far, it looks like they took some effective precautions to avoid contracting it.

Another thing is that if you catch it early enough, it is not a death sentence. I'm monitoring the health of the nurses. From what I've seen, the original nurse is in good condition. If they can't keep her alive, I will worry. But, I don't expect that to happen. We have a good medical system here. The places where it is out of control, are places where they don't have the facilities to help people. They are sending known cases home, to not only die, but also infect others.

Nigeria seems to be handling it, so I imagine we can, too.

Unless the facts change, there is no need to panic.

Lisa Nowak made it 950 miles driving from Houston to Orlando on a pair of Depends. :eek: Just sayin.

And if we had seniority based pay what would their current rate be?

Yes, it came from the government, it's perfectly clear why they would make a dumbass statement like this; They're dumbasses.

The point I was making is that the way Ebola is transmitted, the risk of getting it from an airplane, is no higher from getting it anywhere else in a public place. Take a restaurant for example, if you eat at a table where someone with Ebola ate previously, your risk is the same as sitting next to them on a plane.
