<p>Because over here we can be silly and not get lectured?</p>
<p>In what must be a first for CNN even they are reporting on the hysteria. 
</p>
<p>“So bad that even after a Dallas lab worker – who isolated herself in her cabin during a Carnival Cruise because she may have possibly handled Duncan’s clinical specimen – was cleared, the Moore, Oklahoma, Public Schools asked students and faculty who were on the same cruise not to come to school.”</p>

<p>Ooh, no lectures here? I am in!</p>
<p>Lol. We now have signs all over the front doors of our health building that say: “Please let the front nurse know right away if you have any of the following symptoms: Fever” (there were more but I didn’t see them). I’m sure the nurses are THRILLED. I mean, people come here because they’re sick. Of course they’re likely to have some of those symptoms…</p>
<p>Oy</p>
<p>I don’t think I’d want my child to go to the Moore, Oklahoma public schools. I think he’d start to know less, instead of knowing more. Do they actually have a science teacher in that school system? Or a math teacher? Maybe a teacher who teaches analytical writing? Or, indeed, any teacher who is able to exercise rational thought?</p>
<p>^There are a lot of reason I’d stay away from Oklahoma - this is just one more to add to my long list.

<p>I think we should blame k-12 for not teaching geography.</p>
<p>These are adults who don’t know geography, though.</p>
<p>Yes, if they never learned geography as kids and keep getting older, they become adults with no sense of geography and little perspective of the world. </p>

<p>Wrong story. The school in Strong, Maine put a teacher on 3-wk leave because she had flown to Dallas to attend a conference.</p>
<p>The principal who visited Zambia is in Mississippi.</p>
<p>I’d say it is a dead heat as to which one is dumber.</p>
<p>^Yup, I realized after it was too late to fix my post. I was thinking about the principal in Mississippi and mixing him up with the Maine teacher. That’s what I get for not rechecking my information.</p>
<p>Just posted this on the other thread as well. Great news if true.</p>

<p>Ooops!</p>
<p>The news here has been clear that Amber Vinson wants privacy. Emory did a fabulous job of keeping the news completely in abeyance when they were treating the other doctor who was released Sunday. They seem to be doing the same here. So it looks like her family will release information as the seem ready to do so.</p>
<p>Great! Happy for Amber & her family!</p>

<p>Okay, Gabon has no confirmed cases of ebola, has a travel ban of people from affected countries, and is not really very close to those affected countries. But putting him in isolation for 21 days seems like a reasonable thing to do?</p>
<p>Either way he would be in jail . . . he’s being held on child molestation charges, just not in a small cell with another inmate.</p>
<p>I posted about that guy a few days ago. And the one who claimed he was in Africa just to get out for a medical eval (he was lying). First they said this first guy was in Angola- now Gabon?</p>
<p>^^^oops, somehow missed that one, jym. </p>
<p>No worries- it was pages ago!</p>
