CoronitaParticipantMy take on ebola is that we have everything in this country at our disposal to make sure it doesn’t become a big outbreak problem.
My concern is… People in this country aren’t taking it seriously enough…And it’s the arrogance that I’m worried about….
Is it doom and gloom? No.. Is it something we can just tread lightly on? Hell no…
CNN is reporting that one of the persons that handed Duncan’s blood has been quarantined on a cruise ship..

Though we requested this person be flown back to the U.S., ironic that the The Belize government denied the request to allow the person to evacuate using their airport….At least some countries are clearly taking this seriously and taking care of it’s citizens…
The Belize government turned down a request by the United States to evacuate the worker through the international airport in Belize City.
“We remain in close contact with U.S. officials … we have maintained the position that when even the smallest doubt remains, we will ensure the health and safety of the Belizean people,” the government said in a statement.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=outtamojo]Whole blood contains red cells and plasma.
Whole blood is rarely used for transfusion these days.[/quote]Ah.. But can it?
CoronitaParticipant[quote=outtamojo][quote=flu]….So it turns out Dr. Brantly’s blood type is A+……

So I guess the only people that wouldn’t be able to get any sort of transfusion (whether it’s whole blood or just plasma) is blood type B…..
which is what was Duncan’s blood type.[/quote]
Type A plasma has anti B antibodies so type AB is also not compatible with type A plasma.
Again, incompatible plasma in small amounts can be safely transfused so compatability should not really be an impediment given risk/reward.If you regularly receive platelet transfusions it is likely that at some time you received a type that was not the same as your own with incompatible plasma.[/quote]But in that case, wouldn’t they just be able to do a whole blood transfusion from A to AB?

CoronitaParticipant[quote=spdrun]Can’t you buy a few shares A.H.? It did beat earnings, and the HBO direct-streaming deal isn’t huge yet due to customer inertia and other Netflix offerings.
-25% is an overreaction, and it might revert to something like -10% tomorrow.[/quote]
Sure.. You first 🙂
CoronitaParticipantNetflix getting crushed AH
-15%
CoronitaParticipantOh well. Spoke to soon. Nasdaq back in the red… heh heh….
CoronitaParticipantAnyone want to guess how netflix will do AH?
I think they will disappoint… Not that I would wager either way on them right now…
CoronitaParticipantNasdaq is green….
at 12:43pmlol… Something is seriously wrong..Market moving in the direction in what I said… I must be in the twilight zone…
Now, if I say the dow will close flat slightly up.. What are the changes of that happening? 🙂
CoronitaParticipantRussell 2k is green again.. Lol…..
And I’m thinking Nasdaq will go green any minute now..
CoronitaParticipantCurrently dow -299
Why do I get the feeling in the last 1/2 hr of trading things will reverse…..
CoronitaParticipant15,900…… I think I will put some money back into indexes…
CoronitaParticipantOk, back on topic. The second nurse that is now infected apparently was on a Frontier Air flight days between Cleveland and Dallas after nursing Duncan…
Great.
Hello? If you are a caregiver for an Ebola patient, maybe you should quarantine yourself during the wait period when symptoms might show up…you think?
This will be interesting 132 passengers on that flight..And I wonder how many successive flights since then…
CoronitaParticipantSecond case reported in Texas….
