The ebola situation

If they offer a vaccine for it, that's what you should worry about.

Never trust people who know more about anything than you do. Also, don't use condoms. And if something seems like it is beyond middle school science class, chances are THEY are out to get you.

But in all seriousness, that makes no sense at all to me.

Only a handful of highly trained U.S. troops among the thousands bound for West Africa will have direct contact with potential Ebola patients, military leaders said Tuesday. Those soldiers will be posted at testing labs to help identify people showing Ebola-like symptoms. They “meet the highest level of standards” and are already trained to deal with major crises, including nuclear disasters, U.S. Army Gen. David Rodriguez, the commander of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), said during a Pentagon news conference. He added that three medical testing labs — each with about three or four soldiers stationed there — are already in use. Another four more facilities have been requested.

Rodriguez also pledged that the 4,000 service members deployed to the ravaged region will be kept safe — and won’t be a threat when they return home. The military is using a combination of redeployment training, strict protocols and “careful reintegration” back into the U.S. to protect these troops. “I am confident we can ensure our service members’ safety and the safety of the American people,” Rodriguez said.

If a soldier is exposed to Ebola, he or she will be flown back to the United States for treatment, he added. These soldiers and military contractors are consisting of engineers, medical specialists and logisticians who can help build the medical centers and give training to local health-care workers. The entire operation is costing about $750 million over six months. Troops on Monday were building the first of 17 medical centers in Liberia — one of three countries at the heart of the deadly outbreak that has killed more than 3,400 people.

Just out of curiosity, when asked for help, what other group is there that has the resources, training and experience to set up hospitals anywhere in the world, train lots of other people and able to provide their own crowd control for when panicked people come running for help?

Well, patient 0 became one with the Force today, marking the first death of Ebola in America. Also
O reports are coming in that one of the people patient 0 was exposed to has now shown symptoms of Ebola, and was carried away by hazmat.

Granted, I never stated what MOS's were being sent. I know its more then just "medics". I know several people who have gotten deployment orders to go over there, and those are not medics, A lot of them are engineers.

let's be perfectly honest here, if all they wanted was medical staff they'd be financing doctors without borders. What they need is containment capability. Besides the US has a big army and that's about it. They don't have any experience in distributing free healthcare at a national scale.
