MTV star questions bowling Ebola-positive doc with snarky Obama reference

http://twitter.com/#!/TheMarkLong/status/525639946074222597

Yep. Twitchy readers know the latest Ebola news: A doctor in NYC has tested positive for Ebola. He felt “sluggish” a couple of days ago, yet still roamed about the city, riding on public transportation and hitting up a (now closed) bowling alley.

Many, including Fox News’ Martha MacCallum and Julie Banderas, S.E. Cupp and Bravo star Caroline Manzo, have questioned the, you know, logic of doing such things when one knows one has been exposed to Ebola.

MTV star Chet Cannon also questioned the moves, but with a hilarious Obama reference:

O-Bam! We see what you did there and it’s beautiful.

Yep. Heck of a job, Barry.

http://twitter.com/#!/EagleFriar22/status/518495278643433472

Incompetent is somewhat great nowadays. Since it happens that medical practioners at the Texas health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas did understand that Ebola consumer Thomas Eric Duncan had traveled to Liberia provided that they delivered him residence on September 26, pressing a health center to “retract” its earlier assertion that a glitch featuring its electronic wellness papers system would be to blame:

An excerpt from report above:

Late Friday – one day after releasing the considerable things in “in the eye of transparency” – a medical care center reversed part of its account. Unlike before, they reported Duncan’s getaway record was visually noticeable to all-in the hospital’s electric wellness record (EHR) system.

“There ended up being no flaw inside EHR in the way the doctor and health portions interacted regarding this celebration,” a wellness center advertised in a written statement.

But by Saturday mid-day, extremely bit various other information with regards to means comes. Electronic mails towards medical center with specific dilemmas from Yahoo Information haven’t been came back for all times.

That method may be the easiest option to contain the outbreak stopping a globally crisis, Segal claimed. Federal and intercontinental health officials argue split would influence even more economic anxiety in western Africa while undercutting humanitarian help, worsening the epidemic the temporary and cultivating a better globally danger essentially.

“The simplest way.”

A man from Liberia remains hospitalized with Ebola in Dallas, Texas, the people in an apartment where he had been staying are being quarantined (kind of), and about 100 people who had contact with the infected man are being monitored.

‘When Ebola comes to my city’: Americans’ Ebola strategies [pics]

http://twitter.com/#!/babradeys/status/517787128089305089

It can seem callous but humor is the great American defense mechanism. There’s probably some complicated psychological explanation but a lot of people cope with stress and fear by laughing at what they’re afraid of. Clearly Ebola is on people’s minds. In the age of social media, the reaction plays out with memes and pop culture references.
