7pm last night before I started my shift.

Partially true. The first five patients go to Wright-Patterson. The second five go to OSU. The 3rd set goes to Grant (the unit I work in). If Grant starts getting Ebola patients, that's not good. Protocol is changing daily on tackling this. Grant is in close contact with the CDC in regards to what should be done should this get worse. Consensus is that the Dallas hospital was very ill-prepared for this (not really their fault). They are going to start putting us (those who volunteered for the 'response team') through training starting Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming weak.

I have a brand new, full PTK twin turbo kit I'll sell you for $2,500 sans turbos, wastegate and BOV should you buy it.

Reap what you sow and all that...

I wish I could post some films I've seen at work.

Caliber?

What gun?

It was. They suspect he waited too long to go to the hospital though.

I'd totally get out there in the middle of them in an attempt to ref the fight.

You work for Berger? I used to work there.

Is that 50% of West Africans? or 50% of Americans? Africans are left in a hut to fend for themselves. I would gather most die as a result of dehydration. Just speculation. Americans tough it out in a monitored hospital room with daily labwork drawn, IV fluids, telemetry, and multiple ways to combat hyperthermia. There's a big difference.

I'm not saying it's not contagious. I'm saying its no more contagious than any other critter we have here already, nor is it really that much more dangerous. I'm saying that because we live differently, it will not affect us like it has those in Africa.

Hornady has a new one out that looks pretty sweet. It's got a proximity bracelet that you wear (I'm assuming it uses RF) that opens when your hand gets near it. I have no experience with it nor have I heard how well it works, but I like the concept.

Do you worry about all the other bacteria and viruses that you can get by simply touching something? Because Ebola isn't the only one nor is it anywhere close to the most prevalent. MRSA, ESBL, Strep, E. Coli, C. Difficile, etc. are all quite abundant and will wreck your shit just the same. Ebola is known because the media has latched onto it. Wait until another plane crashes or disappears and you'll forget all about it.

Not quite accurate. Ebola does not require airborne precautions, only droplet at best. Ebola isn't known to cause coughing or sneezing, but should someone who has it sneeze directly in your face, you could catch it. Incubation period in the body is not the same as survival outside the body. Virus particles can survive for a couple hours outside the body by themselves, and 3-4 days if in a MOIST body fluid. Most dry up fairly quickly. The best thing you can do for yourself (and you should be doing this anyways) is wash your hands frequently. Touch money? Wash your hands. Shake someone's hand? Wash your hands. Scratch your ass? Wash your hands. These outbreaks all start in Africa for a reason. Not because Ebola isn't here, but because our hygiene is so much better. See above. It's a precautionary measure because they are literally touching everything. I would have no worries about walking my happy ass right through the middle of that Ebola guys apartment without a suit on. Don't touch anything, don't worry about anything. And wash my hands when I'm done. Again, Ebola requires Contact precautions for those around the infected and Droplet precautions at best if you're up close and personal with them. It is not Airborne. We live in the U.S. We have one of the best healthcare systems in the world. We also have some of the best sanitation services and hygiene in the world. West Africa does not. We don't drink our shit-infested water and we don't tend to fuck every infected prostitute in town before coming home to bang our wives. West Africa does. Take a look at AIDS. Ebola symptoms are fairly easy to treat and Americans tend to be a bunch of pussies when it comes to getting sick. They go to the hospital for every little hiccup. It would be most likely be caught. And even if it wasn't, they would still treat your symptoms, which is the exact same thing they would do even if they knew you had Ebola seeing as how Ebola itself doesn't have a 'cure'. Natural buildup of antibodies is what 'cures' it. If you went to the hospital, they'd: -Give Fluids -Correct electrolyte imbalances -Treat fever -Provide hemodynamic support if required (I'd suspect you'd have to be pretty far along to require this) -Correct any coagulopathy This is all pretty basic shit. The only issue I could see cropping up would be if they start giving blood products (platelets, FFP, Cryo, etc.) to every person with a coagulopathy. Supplies might start getting a bit thin in that case. Again, quit watching the news. This shit is sensationalized like you wouldn't believe.

Careful with some of these newer lights. Some are so bright these days that you'll also blind yourself when you flick it on. Try it down a gloss white hallway sometime after your eyes have acclimated to the dark and you'll see what I mean. Brighter isn't always better. But yes, I do agree on getting a good, quality light.

$1000 for all of it?

You guys realize that MILLIONs of people die every year from the one strain or another of the flu virus (which is airborne vs. Ebola, which is Contact) every single year, right? Thousands of those are right here in the US. And are you worried you'll get the flu? The news stations need something new to talk about this week. Relax.

NC state :masturboy:

People watch golf?

What gun?

Try getting drunk and see if that helps.

I don't, and as I said most, striker-fired guns, not all. I'm just pointing it out. I know what you mean though. Technically they're DAO; in practice, they are closer to a SA. Better?

Not 9mm, but it's close, and it fits the rest of your stipulations. I love mine. Simple and effective. http://i.imgur.com/OmxKh2K.jpg
