Ebola in the U.S. | Nurse.com News

via via Ebola in the U.S. | Nurse.com News.

Don’t feel prepared? Here’s what you do.

Nurses who do not feel prepared to treat patients with Ebola should be expressing their concerns to supervisors and infection preventionists, along with asking questions.

That’s the suggestion of Linda Greene, RN, MPS, CIC, an infection prevention manager at Highland Hospital in Rochester, N.Y., and a former board member of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology.

According to Greene, these questions from nurses might include:

— I’m feeling uncomfortable about my ability to care for someone with Ebola. Can you guide me?

— I haven’t seen an Ebola policy. What’s our organization’s practice?

— I’ve read the policy, but I don’t see instructions on what to do if a patient needs, say, a CT scan. How do I transport the patient?

— What if the family, who has been exposed to a patient with Ebola, comes in with the patient? Do we isolate them, too?

— Hospitals also have a responsibility to solicit information from front-line providers, Greene said, on how to improve their policies and procedures.

​Ebola VS. African Horse Sickness. ​(horses can’t vote!)

​Ebola VS. African Horse Sickness. ​(horses can’t vote!)

Veterinarian’s Letter from Lewiston, Idaho to the Editor

The present Ebola crisis in the world is frightening. I have submitted the following letter to the editor of the Lewiston Morning Tribune:

Editor, Lewiston Morning Tribune:

If I wish to import a horse into the United States from Liberia or any African country other than Morocco, the horse needs to undergo a 60 day quarantine period at a USDA approved quarantine facility prior to mingling with the general population of horses in this country. Africa has a disease called African Horse Sickness that does not exist in the US; this is the way we have kept it out of this country. African Horse Sickness does not cause disease in people, only horses; our government has determined that it would be devastating to the US horse industry if it were to come here.

The United States (and virtually all other countries) require a myriad of tests and often quarantine prior to bringing in a foreign animal.

I cannot legally cross state lines in the United States with a horse or cow without a health certificate signed by a USDA accredited veterinarian stating that the animal has been inspected and found free of infectious disease. In most cases blood tests are also required. In fact I cannot legally cross the Snake River and ride my horse in Idaho without a health certificate and a negative blood test for Equine Infectious Anemia.

I’m not complaining; the United States of America, the States of Idaho and Washington, as well as the other 48 states take the health of our livestock very seriously, and we have a very good record at keeping foreign animal diseases out of our country. I am happy to do my part to maintain biosecurity in our animal population.

If I am a resident of Liberia incubating Ebola, to enter the United States all I need to do is present a valid visa, and lie when asked if I have been exposed to Ebola. Within hours (no quarantine required) I can be walking the streets of any city in the United States.

I feel very fortunate to live in a country that values our animals so highly.

Churches Push Back Against Warning Not To Talk Politics | Truth Revolt

Churches Push Back Against Warning Not To Talk Politics | Truth Revolt.

“Earlier this month Americans United for Separation of
Church and State sent out 84,000 letters to church leaders to warn them
against speaking about politics from the pulpit according to IRS
tax-exempt restrictions. Responses so far have not been so enthusiastic.

AU says they attempted to be “respectful” in their reminder and claim
they are merely trying to protect organizations’ tax exempt status. In a
blog post the group’s assistant director of communications, Simon
Brown, explained that they only want churches to “follow the rules” and
“stay out of partisan politics”:

“We merely want houses of worship to follow the rules, stay out of
partisan politics and keep their tax exemption. And when we explain to
clergy what the law requires, we do so in a respectful way.”

Despite their “respectful” tone, the church and state watchdog told
The Blaze that they’ve already received about 45 fiery responses, and
expect more in the days to come.

One church sent back AU’s letter with the simple statement “Drop
Dead” written in marker across it. Another response was a brief letter,
addressed to the executive director of the group, which concluded by
asking to be removed from his mailing list and saying he could take his
“solicitude regarding our legal well-being” and “shove it up your fat
white a__.”

Here are two shots of the messages (via The Blaze):

UK Parliament votes 274-12 in favor of recognizing “the state of Palestine” : Jihad Watch

by

Robert Spencer:

As long as the hopelessly compromised and abjectly surrendering Brits are recognizing terror states that do not exist, why don’t they recognize Nazi Germany and Democratic Kampuchea along with “Palestine”? A “Palestinian” state would not make for a peaceful resolution of the jihad against Israel. It would simply become a new jihad base for newly virulent attacks against a weakened Israel. Do the British MPs know this? Probably not. Would they care if they did? Probably not.

How many times does this have to be done before the political elites get a clue? Or are they so thoroughly bought and paid for that that will never happen? The Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 was supposed to bring peace. Instead, I and just a few others warned that Gaza would just become a new jihad terror base. And we were right. So also, a “Palestinian” state would become yet another jihad terror base for attacks against a reduced, truncated Israel. The various “Palestinian” factions have never recognized Israel or retreated even one step from their repeated vows to destroy it utterly. Do these clowns even know what “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” means?

As long as they’re voting for jihad, how long will it be before the UK Parliament goes whole hog, as it were, and votes 274-12 to adopt Sharia as the sole law of the land? It would “promote community cohesion,” eh wot?
