Has Ebola made you hesitant?

Curious if the Ebola Virus has made anyone hesitant to play right now?

No, it hasn't, but part of that may be that I am kind of off right now. I did go to the ER yesterday, and was thoroughly questioned in regards to my travel ( or lack there of lol), and who I have been exposed to. So, it is being taken very seriously.

I think most of us ladies do have clients are are International business men, so I think I would be more alert if working.

If it hasn't, it should pretty soon if the trend continues. Once again, our government totally fucks this up.

As of right now, no I am not very concerned about being exposed to someone with Ebola.

If there comes a point where we start seeing cases of Ebola here in KC, then it will be time to become concerned and start thinking about what, if anything, we can do to protect ourselves.

Could this be another government cover up.
While in the military, I know some units would go to Africa,
For so called medical reasons, to give them injections.
Does anyone really know what's going on.
And with all these government teams trained in case of something happens like this,
How come none have been sent over to find the cause and test for a cure at the source.
The government has special bio trained teams. Setting around doing nothing.
Why is the question.
Why bring infected people here to the US, or send them to different location in the US, to be studied.
This would put more people at risk.
So how many different hospitals are involved.

Infected people "brought" to US to be treated has been handled well. Duncan wasn't "brought", he came. Maybe he knew he possibly could have had it because of who he interacted with. The Hospital sure screwed up that one, but hospitals aren't government run exactly so they didn't see a risk at the time. This is a new one in the USA and typical Drs here aren't used to diagnosing this Virus yet... I think they are quickly learning though. It sucks though since it affects so many people so rapidly. For now the Virus isn't "airborne" but that can change in an instant. But if someone sneezes surely that can possibly transmit.

Very well thought out, unlike most of the responses on this thread.

Wow, Ebola is dangerous Shit. That said if you live as a normal American your chances of getting it are so small. We have different customs and standards that would greatly help contain the spread. People are not done dying from it, but we are so much more prepared for it and the hospitals got a giant wake up call from what happened in Texas.

Just look at how poorly prepared that Texas hospital was dealing with it and there were only two additional cases so far. Look at the responres here in kc even though the patient most likely had something else. The hospitals here are on high alert for it and they will overreact until the threat is gone.

I guess its time for me to buy one of them missile silos and hunker down in the middle of nowhere...and Im taking the girls of KC with me and I aint sharin!!

no, like most people he is assuming lots based on news shows or other tv shows
You can get Ebola by coming into contact with the blood or body fluids of an animal or person who is infected. People often get sick with Ebola when they care for or bury a person who has the disease. Someone also can catch the virus by touching contaminated needles or surfaces.

The problem is, you can identify the ones from Dallas but how do you know who has been to Dallas or what guy is in KC from Dallas on business ? I noticed there's not a lot of visiting gals lately, at least on here. My P411 is not active at the moment so not sure if there's any change on there. Don't know if it's related or not.

A couple of things: this virus is not fast and that is the problem. Being exposed can be a distant memory when the symptons start to be felt three weeks later and you can do a lot of traveling before you admit to yourself (or someone comes to the conclusion) that you have ebola. We really don't know if the virus is airborne or not. They say it is not but virus mutate all the time. The two nurses got it somehow and they were wearing protective gear. They were also wearing sealed suits when they boarded the planes. Someone thinks the virus may be airborned or it is possible.
