My Fellow Texans - Please Report In! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 56411813 United States 10/02/2014 05:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks for this post. I live near Dallas, have noticed a bit of a run on non perishables and water, but nothing untoward yet. The sterilization process here, regarding this guy's trail & possible affectees seems to be a joke. Just watched a contractor in front of his girlfriend's apartment hosing down a place where he puked, right into the sewer. Wheeee! Quoting: Knuttsack HOLY SHAZ that is so fucking lame! WTF is with that! There were pics of it on WFAA! Dude wasn't even wearing any protective gear. Even worse there's some lady standing like 5 feet away watching him spray it! Bleccchhh! They were showing three young women, no idea who they were, standing outside on the sidewalk - like nothing was going on. These people are truly insane! |

I am to my surprise hearing some light chatter in public about ebola, people have lots of questions. I work closely with dallas police department ( not an employee) and i have talked with several police officers that are freaked out big time. |

I work with tons of ER nurses and they aren't too worried about it. Quoting: fooz Yea lets see what they say when they get their first unit on ward. People should be alert, not crazy panic, but alert and cautious more then ever on safe handling precautions. I agree. The funny thing is it seems the most panic is from people outside of Texas. People here seem to be handling it really well. Cautious and concerned, but not panicked. |

If there is any silver lining to this whole Ebola thing, we probably won't have to worry about out southern border much longer. All they need to do is post a sign reading, Welcome to Texas - Ebola Hot Zone" and most of those folks will turn right back around. |

User ID: 59173779 United States 10/02/2014 06:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi everyone! I live in the Lake Highlands area, about 10 minutes from patient 0. I was at the local Walmart today, but was unable to buy hand sanitizer, they were out. I went to the post office, where all of the employees were wearing latex gloves. I then received a call from Wallace Elementary stating that three of the kids were not in school because of exposure to ebola virus. Pretty scary around here. |
