Outbreak of deadly flesh-eating Ebola virus has already killed at least59 people in Guinea

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama expressed confidence Wednesday that the government's response to the Ebola epidemic will be effective after a meeting with his top cabinet secretaries at the White House.

"The key thing to understand about this disease is these protocols work," Obama said, referring to the government's strategy of identifying, isolating and then monitoring the contacts of people sick with the disease. "We know that because they've been used for decades now."

Concern about the protocols has mounted since two nurses in Dallas became sick after caring for the late Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to be diagnosed with the disease in the United States. Earlier on Wednesday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the second nurse who became infected had violated protocol by traveling aboard a commercial flight the day before she started having symptoms.

Obama said he had no fear of catching Ebola last month when he visited Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, where doctors successfully treated three Americans who'd been infected in Africa.

"I shook hands with, hugged, and kissed, not the doctors, but a couple of the nurses at Emory because of the valiant work that they did," Obama said. "In treating one of the patients, they followed the protocols, they knew what they were doing, and I felt perfectly safe doing so."
National Nurses United, the nation's largest nurses union, claimed in a Tuesday press conference that such protocols weren't in place at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas when Duncan arrived in September.

The Centers for Disease Control acknowledged Wednesday that the sick nurses may have contracted Ebola by caring for Duncan without wearing the right protective gear, but the agency said it had redoubled its efforts to ensure health care workers have the right equipment and training.
"If we do these protocols properly, follow the steps, get the information out, then the likelihood of widespread Ebola outbreak in this country are very, very low," Obama said.

"But, I think what we've all learned over the last several weeks is that folks here in this country and a lot of nonspecialized hospitals and clinics don't have that much experience dealing with these issues, and so we're going to have to push out this information as aggressively as possible and that's the instructions I've provided to my team."

While Ebola has sickened more than 8,000 people in West Africa, the two Texas nurses are the only people diagnosed with Ebola so far who have contracted the disease in the U.S.

Ebola, now a racist word-term.

Ebola, now a racist word-term.

A group that advocates for Africans in the Bronx is calling for action after it says two brothers who had recently immigrated to the borough from Senegal were beaten and severely injured by several people who called them “Ebola.”
The boys, in sixth and eighth grade, were attacked Friday afternoon at I.S. 318 in Tremont, according to the African Advocacy Council.



The boys, who have been in the U.S. for about a month, were taken to the hospital after the attack.
The group says that the attack is just the latest incidence of disrespect and bullying of Africans since the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa.



They have called a news conference for 1 p.m. Monday to urge school and city officials to protect students and curb bullying.
Senegal is one of several West African countries where Ebola cases have been reported, but there have been no new cases in that country since late August, according to the CDC.



Cases continue to be reported in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. A few health care workers and travelers coming from those countries have also been diagnosed with the disease in other countries, including one person in New York City.

But the facts are that both the 5th and 8th grader called them Ebola.
 
We should have a global 'Be Nice to Everybody Day'. Maybe the world would like it so much that they'd extend it to 'Be Nice to Everybody Week', and things would be so great that before you know it, we'd have 'Be Nice to Everybody Month', and by then we'll have broken all the nasty habits and everyone will think that being nice is a normal way of life.
