Morning all.

Wow, did anyone catch the nurse from Dallas Presbyterian hospital on the NBC Today show?

It was very chilling.

2 things she talked about that really stood out.

The original patient was kept in what sounded like a small IC unit with 7 other patients in proximity.

The items being used on the patient when discarded were thrown into a trash container in the hospital hallway where it was left for hours.

I’m no infectious disease specialist at a major hospital, but even if you have just watched some movies or TV shows you’d know better than to do some of the things she was talking about.

And sadly, she is extremely worried she will lose her job by coming out and making this all known.

Truly a screwed up bad situation.

Freaking Texas. I guess that kind of casual awareness about deadly things should be expected in a state with the hatred they have for government agencies like the EPA and a right to work policy that flies in the face of unions.

Hopefully America is getting a frightening lesson enough to start to pay a bit more attention how important government oversight can be.

And hopefully they take some of what they are learning to the polling places this November when they vote.
