EBOLA....its here

[MoValley John]

More than likely, Dr. Mark Rupp had patient and Hospital authorization. Your wife, on the other hand....

Sheesh! Give it a rest. The only thing they do more than HIPAA in that unit is cure ebola. There have been zero HIPAA violations. Any time I even get close to any question that could cause anyone, my wife included, to violate HIPAA, I get told with a straight face that the question can't be answered. Now, like I've said before, if I can intuitively draw accurate conclusions, well it's not a HIPAA violation for me to figure anything out. Oh, and I can't violate HIPPA, I don't even work in healthcare. They have already gone through all of this. There have been HIPAA violations at UNMC during the ebola fiasco, this isn't one of them. There have been nurses fired. Once again, no violation.

Sorry Shaka khan is pissed at me and throwing this out there because of it, but no violation.

As for ebola, yes, it is treatable in the US. Caught early, if you are treated here, you will live. The biggest risk to the US population is if sick people start trying to come here and begin flooding our country with cases. That could very easily overload the system.

Except for the dude in Dallas, patients with ebola being treated in the US are spending less time in the hospital than the fat chicks with gall bladder surgeries that later appear on Maury. The ones who spend a month in the hospital while their trailer park boyfriends are having sex with their sisters. It all ends the same, Maury says "You are the father!"

Just for the record, I'm not pissed at you, this is more a reflection of your character (or lack of it). Perhaps you're feeling guilty?

By the way, it looks like you have a rather bad habit of speaking on other's behalf without obtaining permission prior to doing it.

Alright....... Let me go all the way back to square one on how I know what is going on. When it was first announced that Omaha was going to get an Ebola patient, I was nervous, actually concerned a great deal for the welfare of my wife. In fact, I posted a thread on this very forum expressing my concern. At the time, I would have been extremely happy if my wife quit and never treated anyone. That isn't her and wasn't an option. I was kind of obsessed about her safety. The only thing I could do was to educate myself. I learned as much as I could about this virus, how it spreads and any thing I could. Then I learned everything I could learn about the safety precautions being implemented at the hospital. Then I learned how the hospital intended to treat any and all Ebola patients. I immersed myself in it. And yes, this was before any Ebola patients presented in Omaha, so no HIPAA violation.

Then, I took everything I learned and followed the treatment of the first patient. Everything was done exactly as described to me previously. The information on treatment was gleamed from news reports and I reported nothing here. When the second patient came to Omaha, everything was and has been done exactly as the first. My wife gave me zero information that would violate HIPAA. But at the same time, treatment is regimented and based on simple things my wife was and is doing, I have a pretty good grasp on treatment and the condition of the patient. No violation.

Nobody is violating anything. My wife isn't giving me any private information or anything that could or would violate HIPAA. As for me, I CANNOT violate HIPAA don't work in any field that could violate HIPAA and can say whatever I want. You do realize that police and fire are not even bound by HIPAA, don't you?

Now, if and when Omaha has more than one Ebola pt. and they are at different points in their treatment, I will be lost on what is happening. I won't know who is sick, how sick or anything, but if there is only one and there isn't a change in how people are being treated, I will have a pretty darned good idea of where in the treatment regimen they are. NOT A HIPAA VIOLATION. Being married isn't a violation.

So please, give this up. You might want to spend more time on math, we are falling well short of the 50% mortality rate you posted earlier.

Dallas now has 0 cases of Ebola. Guv Rick has saved the day by opening up a state-of-art Ebola facility in Richardson, NTX.

It is what it is.

"In spite of another bit of sunshine pumped by the CDC it doesn't look like we will be able to improve the 50 percent mortality rate." Shaka kahn, one week ago.

It doesnt appear to be open yet. The nurse was move to Maryland for treatment. Its a good idea.

KC Shocker, from what I've heard on the news here, Nurse Pham has a good chance for recovery. From what I've heard the nurse from Akron (receiving treatment at Emory University) isn't doing too wellshe did not receive a transfusion like Nurse Pham did. I guess our data-breacher should wait awhile before he starts his cheer-leading. We could still lose one more and that would make it 2/3. On the other hand, I would say that a population of three is not large enough to be statistically valid. I'm thinking that a population of 25 of 30 would be real close to being statistically valid for a population, other than that, what we have here are random observations.

PS: One of the reasons Nurse Pham's recovery has progressed so well was the transfusion she received. Prior to her (and the cameraman) receiving the transfusions, this was not a treatment in that it was theoretical in nature. I think it would be a little scary to put my life in the hands of an experimental theory. For example, Governor Brownback did an experiment on the state of Kansas theorizing that Arthur Laffer's economic theories were valid and look what it's done to the state.........

Why are you using people's names? Don't you care about their privacy? I haven't used a name once.

Movalleyjohn went to Kent State. Kent spell (shocka khan), kent think (I didn't get the information from my wife and I didn't talk about treatment like you did) and kent do anything else right, either.

PS: He also flunked nursing statistics, since he doesn't understand the law of large numbers and how many items are required to obtain a statistically valid sample.

True or false, more Americans have been married to Kim Kardashian than have died from Ebola in the US?

True or false, more Americans have died from the West Nile virus than ebola?

I'll wait patiently for your answers.

The rest of us call this "sample size", and save a lot of typing.

Well, I saw a story on the national news tonight. Seems like the latest is that the patient at Emory is ebola-free, at least according to her family.

Goes to show me that you can't trust everything you hear on the news. I should know that, but I will say I'm happy she's recovering. IT is nothing short of amazing how our country can solve these seemingly impossible problems.

It also seems like a treatment is probably just around the corner. The Canadians sent a large shipment into the zone for testing, and it was pretty obvious that MZAPP (sp?) looked pretty effective. The liberal bureaucrats want to blame the republicans for cutting the CDC budget, but I bet we'll see a vaccine in 6 months, so that's just liberal fear mongering, so I'm thinking we will not see high mortality rates. These experimental drugs, along with the validation that transfusions from someone known to have been infected will stop this cold.
