Nurses: Calif. not ready for Ebola
By David Siders, Sacramento Bee
The state’s largest nurses union said Tuesday that no California hospital is prepared to treat an Ebola patient, pressing Gov. Jerry Brown to require increased training and protective equipment for nurses.
The union’s call – and a rebuttal from the California Hospital Association – came as Brown met privately with nurses, public health officials and medical providers to discuss Ebola.
Though there are no known cases of Ebola in California, the virus has gripped public attention since an outbreak in West Africa and the infection of two nurses treating an Ebola patient who died in Texas earlier this month.
The Brown administration issued no mandates but said in a prepared statement that “officials are taking steps to help ensure health care workers, hospitals and first responders are prepared to treat and care for patients with Ebola.”
RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of the California Nurses Association and National Nurses United, said California hospitals have failed to provide adequate training or equipment to nurses, a claim hospitals disputed.
The Bummer’s national “self monitoring” program for those coming in from Obola hot-zones is as dangerous as not having a travel ban. What part of epidemic doesn’t the imposter in chief understand?
Epidemic Justice? So tell me, how many Americans have died of Ebola here in the US?
You Obama haters need to tone down the fake fearful crisis hype!
You Obama LOVERS will get what you deserve.
Blank Picture, are you even sane or smart enough to know what an epidemic is? It is something that can wipe out continents of people and to avoid that chance after a viral mutation, the first rule is containment. So only one has died in the US so it isn’t a concern yet? Because what? Bummer-Obola is surrounded by smart people like Joe Over-Bite-in? Wait and bring in more? The doctor violated all of the rules on purpose from the CDC directive that states he could not enter the country for a minimum of 21 days. There is also a blood test that should be given for Obola before anyone from a hot-zone is admitted onto a jet full of people and before they can enter or exit any US jet or airport. But Bummer isn’t smart enough for that. He wants to pretend and ignore and appoint Al Gore’s former attorney and raise money, golf, and buy mansions and go on a campaign tour but no-one wants to see him and he is booed and heckled and laughed at which is what 90% think of him and his corrupt gang.
Justice, are you insane? Your calling Ebola an epidemic in the US? Wouldn’t an “epidemic” consist of more humans infected than what, 5 or 6 people so far? And again I ask you, how many exactly have died of the US “epidemic” of Ebola?
Symptoms of Ebola include:
Fever
Severe headache
Muscle pain
Weakness
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Abdominal (stomach) pain
Unexplained hemorrhage
Symptoms of Obola include:
Fever-for Obama
Severe headache-from trying to understand logic
Muscle pain-in-the-azz-given to everyone
Weakness-of thought
Diarrhea-of the mouth
Vomiting all over these posts
Abdominal (stomach) pain-gutless insults
Unexplained hemorrhage-of sanity
Hmmm, You crack me up!Your comparisons between Ebola and Abola were great! Accurate and funny.
