anyone else think bola should take advantage and release a new album now or what? I mean come on. Ebola is right in his wheelhouse.

 

I'm sure the album would be sick.

The director-general of the WHO says the reason for there not being any Ebola vaccine is because it has only affected poor African countries.

In unusually strident comments, Dr Margaret Chan, the director-general of the WHO, attacked drug companies and said that the reason clinicians were “empty-handed” was because “a profit-driven industry does not invest in products for markets that cannot pay”.

 

lol what does she think is going to happen, corporations have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders above and beyond all else to maximize profits. That's why the global push to further privatize healthcare is going to be so great for all the nations that are jumping on board with tearing apart their public systems. heh. It'll be fab.

yeah, that's the problem with capitalism and having really important services privatized

 

the buck ultimately stops at the system itself

which creates perverse incentives

and thus causes people to act like sociopaths

 

(p.s. this is why anarcho-capalists/American libertarians scare me

like what the hell kinda world are they wishing for?)

the handling was still fucked in a few ways. why didn't the cdc get down to dallas and take over and handle everything themselves? why did they leave it up to local nurses down there? why did the head of the cdc go on tv saying that he would personally walk into a room with an ebola patient without any mask or anything covering him, and even suggested that having more gear on put you at higher risk for catching it? the people who catch it tend to do things like projectile vomit. the nurses down there in dallas said they were told to go to the cdc website to see how to prepare, and it said not to wear gear. they also said that soiled materials from the patient were piled up to the ceiling because they had nobody or no way to dispose of it. but then tom frieden lays it at their feet by claiming they must have messed up the protocol. oh and by the way, he wore pretty extensive gear himself when he went to africa. so does that mean he broke his own protocol, or just that hes kind of a complete asshole? maybe if ebola had something to do with tobacco or obesity he wouldve been down there doing his job..

 

but basically its a good thing those nurses lived because had they died it wouldve been on his hands pretty much 100%

If a nurse died they should have given him Ebola. People get fired for a lot less than the way he mishandled this situation and besmirched the reputation of the cdc in the eyes of the public and other medical professionals, but he's in place because he's who he is, and so no amount of moaning will unseat the worm.
