So, when people say 10 gauge, do you default to needle size or shot shell size? LOL

BTW... for those who don't know... 10 gauge is huge, and typically used to puncture bone to inject directly into marrow or to hydrate belligerent drunks.

Ouch...

Y'all re going to make me nauseous.

40 weeks pregnant. I will be spending a minimum of two days at least in the he hospital in the next week. Between the concern over what is going on in the world and those needle guns......I think I might faint.

Those are bone drills for quick acess and those only get used on people who are too messed up to care; That I am drilling in to their bones to give them fluids to replace some of the volume they lost during their spontaneous hemorrhaging event.

I'm sure that GF would find those bone drills facinating; she's into medical stuff. I, on the other hand, am not. The EMT tags on our car arehers, not mine, lol.

Aklinski said he was going to a doctor on his own initiative to be tested for the Ebola virus. “This is definitely a concern and exposed workers have not been contacted or tested… like me,” he explained. “I had to call into control in Dallas at 8 pm and complain to get evaluated.”

“Three days after the fact,” an exasperated Aklinski stated, “I had to demand exposure testing and they are reporting following up with all the people in the ambulance??? Bull crap!!! They haven’t even followed up with the ten firefighters that were on duty Sunday.”

Aklinski went further in explaining the frustration he and most likely, other firefighters, are feeling. “How do you not test and contact the firefighters at the station on Sunday!!! Only the two medics and the intern on the ambulance? I was freaking in that ambulance hours later driving it!!! No one bothered to contact me about it?!!!”
Just criminal total incompetence?
Shameless followup on myself. Taken with a grain of salt, but ...
One insider with intimate knowledge of the inner workings of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) response protocols thinks the latter. In an interview with Alex Jones’ Infowars the anonymous whistleblower says that the procedures for dealing with an outbreak like smallpox and Ebola are very clear cut, and none of them were implemented in Dallas.

First, he says, the National Guard would be deployed to lock-down all entry and exit points into the affected area. Then, law enforcement would redirect people to hospitals, churches and other government agencies for care and/or screening. Finally, those identified or suspected of being infected would be isolated in containment centers at military bases or FEMA facilities.

Considering that the response to Patient Zero in Dallas lacked even the most basic response for pandemic prevention, the notion that this is an engineered event is becoming all the more likely.

...And just to follow up about my friend in Sierra Leone, they DID come to finally quarantine his whole building, at least a week AFTER the man died of Ebola. How many wailing family members came to visit that infected apartment, I wonder. My friend did not heed my warning to get out...as of now I have not heard from him in several days. Won't know for a few weeks yet if he manages to survive the quarantine, no doubt his phone has run out of battery by now so there is no way to communicate.

Poking around on alex jones' site, I came across an excerpt from a book about Ebola strains that were being studied in the '90s right here in good old Reston, VA. A disease lab studying monkeys, in which it appeared the virus was spreading from room to room through the ventilation system...apparently there are 4 strains, and they do not all behave the same....

I want to believe the CDC thinks it is doing the right thing, I really do...but the question has to be asked how they could be so willfully nonchalant about this whole thing. I heard a report that the number of cases is doubling every three weeks....go ahead and get your calculators out, folks. At that rate, we only have a year and a half, so lets all hope and pray it is not as dire as it seems.

I read this book back in the 90s. Pretty terrifying description of how Ebola kills a person. I remember being on an airplane reading about liquefied intestines. As I was reading this, they brought me my meal of tortellini with tomato sauce - I could hardly eat that!

I wonder about objectivity when the author portrays competing agencies in differing lights.
