gee, I thought the commas were properly placed especially since I've referenced her job description before in these threads. It's the same as writing 'Happy, the armless football lover and referee, came home and told Mrs Happy.... All three and a dozen more can tell her to stop shopping but it will not work.

“We recognize that even a single case of Ebola in the United States seems threatening, but the simple truth is that we do know how to stop the spread of Ebola between people.” —Beth Bell, MD, MPH, Director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, quoted in the CDC’s flyer “What You Need to Know About Ebola” located online at http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/pdf/what-need-to-know-ebola.pdfThe first time I read that, I accidentally inserted the word "not" between "do" and "know," which was rather alarming. (Hate it when someone unnecessarily adds "do" to their sentence.)

“We recognize that even a single case of Ebola in the United States seems threatening, but the simple truth is that we do know how to stop the spread of Ebola between people.” —Beth Bell, MD, MPH, ) Would that include telling a person with Ebola symptoms to board a plane with 135 people aboard?

Does anyone remember a time not so long ago when people shrieked either “SARS!” [the illness, not the BSA reports] or “Bird flu!” or “Pandemic!” on roughly an annual basis? There must be some serious money behind panics.

(Hate it when someone unnecessarily adds "do" to their sentence.) I just did the the exact same thing when i read it.

Would that include telling a person with Ebola symptoms to board a plane with 135 people aboard? Yeah. Something like: "Whoa, you have a temperature? Is it 101 because if so, you should go wait in your car for an ambulance - certainly not go to an ER - and of course, do not, under any circumstance, touch anything with you bare hands, or exhale, or board any buses or planes. Oh wait, it's only 99 and a half? Enjoy your flight!"

Still a little scary to me. I do not dwell on it, but I am cognizant of the people who have died and those that are in quarantine for 21 days. I am not a person who panics easily, but that is all that is being talked about in the news. I had to turn the TV off this morning, it was depressing.

Does Ebola trump HIPAA? Or did all the Ebola patients waive their privacy rights?

No need to panic here I just ordered a full bio-hazard suit from Amazon to wear to work from now on so I am good.

kind of like when ricin or sarin was sent through the mail to one person, next thing you know all postal workers were feeling ill, companies bought gloves and masks for when opening mail, you had to have a policy to address what would happen if some was discovered...and yet here we all are!

We have already been told by HR that bio hazard suits are off the menu for Halloween customes. I got the smartazz of the day award for pointing that the email was unnecessary, since masks are not allowed anyway.
