The Idiotic Explanation Why The "Idiot With The Clipboard" Was Unprotected

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Phoenix Air has released a statement explaining why the now infamous non-HazMat-wearing 'clipboard man' seen in close proximity to Dallas Ebola patient Amber Vinson (while the rest of the members of staff are fully protected) was unprotected... and it will blow your mind.

Why is "Clipboard Man" not wearing protective gear?

 

Phoenix Air responds (via ABC News)...

The airline confirmed to ABC News that the man was their medical protocol supervisor who was purposefully not wearing protective gear.

 

"Our medical professionals in the biohazard suits have limited vision and mobility and it is the protocol supervisor’s job to watch each person carefully and give them verbal directions to insure no close contact protocols are violated," a spokesperson from Phoenix Air told ABC News said.

 

"There is absolutely no problem with this and in fact insures an even higher level of safety for all involved," the spokesperson said.

*  *  *

So - in summary - due to the restrictive vision when wearing an Ebola-protective suit, one member of staff must be sacrificed/exposed to ensure no one trips?

And these are who we are supposed to trust?

Here is the full sequence of events involving "clipboard guy" via the Mail:

 

Is he with the CDC? Both the ambulance company and Emory University Hospital said the unprotected man with the clipboard (center) is not one of their employees - meaning he is likely a CDC employee

so this dude from Bangalore showed up with Obola-like symptoms in the ER in CT. He says doctor I feel terrible - fever, headache, blasting both ends, etc.

Doctor says here's what you need to do: Go home, deficate & Urinate into a 5-gallon bucket for a week. Also, throw in a dead fish and some dead mice. Put your face right over the bucket during this week and cover up with a blanket. Breathe DEEPLY for at least a half hour each day. Come back after the week is up. Week goes by.

Mr. Bangalore comes to the doctor's office & says he feels teriffic. Never felt better in my life. I'm Fine! What was wrong with me? Doctor says: "you were homesick."

ISIL includes scum from many countries, including Somalia. They take their piracy well out into the Indian ocean.

History lesson, muslim pirates (Barbary Coast) used to raid US and European shipping (and coastal areas) through the 18th and into the 19th century. The US government used to pay them tribute not to attack US ships and then they changed their policy and marines were sent in. Leathernecks refer to the leather collar the marines wore to protect against getting their throats slit. If they send boots on the ground now to confront ISIL  then they better have blunt knife beheading proof collars.

Like I said earlier, these events were planned.

Clipboard man will have had the chance to go somewhere to spread the Ebola virus he incubated for mere minutes to another group of unsuspecting unprotected sheeps. We will be getting stories like these from today onwards like later it is revealed that the co-pilot in the plane didnt wear a hazmat because some protocol says only the captain should wear TWO suits just in case...same new ridiculous shit everyday.

As for the people in charge of this crisis, being morons, well what do you expect when the people in charge of this ENTIRE COUNTRY are morons. Or maybe like I said, they want things to unfold the way it has so far, which makes these fuckers worse than morons.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the historic American nation, those of you who have not been mesmerized by the televitz and the rest of the controlled media and who have survived the propaganda of an education, behold your Enemy has got you on the ropes now. Whilst so many of the "Greatest Generation" died for the Enemy, to ensure their triumph over YOU, you see they BELIEVED what the controlled press told them, what the movies showed them, what the magazines told them, and so they went off to remove the enemy of their own Enemy.

If they could see what now has happened I wonder if they would have been so eager to attack their brothers.

I do not agree. Nobody would endanger himself consciously. The clipboard man obviously IS such an idiot.

I think the explanation is simple and can be observed everywhere. Remember what happened when the generation of Wernher von Braun retired?

Banana populace confuses change with progress.

Doyou really think clipboard man intentionally exposed himself to spead the disease? More likely they think there is no risk and are doing it as a training exercise. Stupid but not crazy evil.

If they really wanted to spread Ebola they would fly in some corpses from Africa, dissect them and finely add them to steak tartare, sashimi and luncheon meat. So whats on the school lunch menu?

Mrs. SWR and I were just last night discussing the obvious need for supervision, for someone whose only involvement in the caregiving process is to monitor and ensure that protocols are followed.  This is standard practice in nuke industry radiological work, or it was when I was doing it. 

Hostpitals are neither staffed nor equipped (nor funded, for that matter) for such activity.  Entering and exiting a contaminated area in a controlled, safe and repeatable manner requires a lot of dedicated space, space for the staging of materials to be brought into the area, space for suiting, space for unsuiting, space for deconning, areas for disposal of contaminated waste (receptacles), ....there are NO hosipitals which have this large amount of space inside them, and many do not have it OUTSIDE them other than in parking lots, which means tents (rain, snow, etc), controlled (filtered) airflow areas, etc. 

All of this is doable, and known.  It's no fucking secret, and does not require rocket science.  What is required is

a) fire the fucking bean counters who have taken over US Healthcare

b) hire people who know how to do this shit, and right now.  Fund them adequately.  Make sure they do not see nurses as disposable resources to be carelessly thrown at the problem in order to save some craven politician's ass.

 

Hospitals which are treating ebola patients will have plenty of parking space available anyway, as no paying patient in his or her right mind would go to a hospital where they are treating ebola victims, given the current state of affairs.

Good Summation.

I was a hospital design architect for many years.

Evenually went on staff at a Hospital in Oakland CA.

Effing disaster.

Wiki Search "Hospital Acquired Infection"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital-acquired_infection

Trained medical staff, (First do no harm)  kill nearly 300% more people from "secondary infection" then from  auto accidents, (99k vs. 36k) and 800% more than the total number of murders (12k)

And They know it. They even have an "infection control nurse" - a powerless figurehead, who has an office in a little building outside the hospital, and knows her job is to keep her head down and make no waves.

But to try to implement even a change like anti microbial touch surfaces on a new hospital tower with a budget impact of less than 1% was nigh IMPOSSIBLE.

The technology and products are readiliy avaialbe; for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_copper-alloy_touch_surfaces

I fought for this, LOST, Lost in FLAMES took the issue as high as I had access.

 

They hired my replacement and started to use me to train her. 

I left the job, and the entire state.

Now I do bomb shelters, and related work.

Let's not forget that these same hospitals that we are expecting to deal effectively with Ebola kill 75-100,000 people a year with hospital-acquired infections caused by bugs that are a LOT less dangerous than our little ebolabuddy. The people in these hospitals are all very aware of what it takes to avoid killing patients through infection, but the patients die like flies anyway.

So why should we expect these same hospital workers to be any more caring or intelligent around ebola? Maybe the fact that it will kill them as well as the patient will change some of their behavior, but change it 100%? Why am I feeling doubtful about that?

They also seemed to make false assumptions about how the virus is transmitted, which is a horrible mistake in judgement.  With a virus with such a high mortality rate its much better to be agressive with personal protection than the other way around.  Let's hope it's not too late for the officials in charge to get the situation under control.

Here's why, true story........

When my 2nd child was being born, we had great nurses, we loved them, they really gave a shit and we appreciated them, but before we checked out, we were talking to two of them and they mentioned that they were worried about their 8 and 10 years old daughters, because they were "developing" way to soon. They had been to doctors and specialist (because their coverage was so good i guess) and no one could tell them anything but maybe they should try glutten free diets and some other unreal shit!!

Finally I look over at them and say, are you giving them regular milk? Both look confused and say yes, why?

Because I explained, there are unreal amounts of growth hormones and god knows what else in non organic milk? One nurse goes WHAT???, what are you talking about. My wife and I just looked stunned at her now! So I continue on and tell them to get that regular pasturized garbage out of their house immediately and really they should try to find Raw milk........yada yada, needless to say, both looked more confused and then one mentioned it was to expensive, etc etc

We just gave them a hug and said good luck!  

Moral of the story, nurses might be great and caring people, but their just as fucking brainwashed by this insane asylum society we live in, as the next person on the street! Thinking they aren't, might get you ebola these days!

As if further evidence was needed, but another thing to consider:  They regularly prescribe poisonous psychotropics to children, teens, and adults.  Every prescribing psych nurse is guilty of doing this (and the very fact that we have nurses prescribing psych meds due to an apparent insufficient supply of prescribers should give everyone a lot of pause). 

Now consider that a pretty good chunk of psych docs are fully aware that they are prescribing poison, and do it anyways. 

So, you have a choice between ignorant or evil.

Systematic destruction of the remaining semblance of liberties using fear to drive (blackmail) people to give up liberties for contrived (likely real to some undetermined degree) reason.

Let me know, is it still sit on our ass time?

Clipboard dude was probably supposed to be off image (screen) and was just confused. Screen play for fear driven blackmail is a whole lot more likely!

This whole thing is looking more and more like a drill. Not that a drill to see where the weak areas are in planning, equipment, facilities etc, is a bad thing. My fear is not CONTAGIONOIA, but given that so many 'drills' have gone live (911, Sandy Hook, 7/7, Bosten etc), anything could happen...

If this is 'CDC guy', he either knows it's a drill, or the same profs who invented the 'virus' also engineered the antidote. And he's one of the club that Carlin described...or at least has 'insider knowledge'.

Like I've been saying for a while now - quarantine the State of Texas before its too late, the volume of potential ebola carriers coming across the state line far exceeds the 150 or so per day coming from West Africa, and even with the most bloated .gov budget in the world- there simply isn't the manpower to either provide care or do high volume manual contact tracing if multiple cases start slipping across and spreading.

Tend to agree. Now I am not saying ebola is fake because it is very real. I believe its to instill fear and force new laws that remove more of our freedoms. The most comical comments are people actually believing they can protect themselves from an invisible enemy like ebola. Ask the nurse wearing all the hazmat gear how that protecting thingy went.

It's "ebola-like" and yes, it is real... but it is not Ebola.  It's a synthesized virus far superior (in a bad way) than Ebola.  It was intentionally released in population centers in West Africa... engineered to be nearly impossible to combat.  Blatantly obvious the CDC our government and other evil statist elite want this to spread to the US.  They need billions of poeple to die off in order to take over and rule the world the way they have planned for decades.

I get bugged more than once a month about being a prepper. I don't think I'm paranoid, I just have no faith in any complex systems created by people. I see it first hand every day in my job in IT. These systems that we depend on for life and death across every industry I've seen are so fragile.

So yeah one more example above about why I prep. Its so I can sleep at night. Ignorance is bliss and unfortunately, I'm not ignorant.

If you're having to pick up now it could be too late.

Think of it as if SHTF right now. What would you need to survive for a week, month, or year.

There is no way to gauge the outcome or how long it will be. You just have to work on short term goals( bottle water, food, ect) first then more towards longer terms (growing your own food, backup water storage, ect)

Then again with every scenario the outcome could be different.

What if this goes longer than a month, are you prepared to leave your house if there is martial law, a total outbreak, or civil unrest.

What if it's not just ebola.

What if there is also a financial collapse like we are seeing with the market already?
Where there is now martial law and a civil unrest.

The possibilities are endless on what 'could' happen and unrealistic to prepare for them all. You have to gauge what you think could happen and how you are capable to react if something does.

Prepping is more then just getting an extra couple cans of beans and a case of water bottles.  It's a strategy on how you would react to various situations such as sheltering in place or bugging out.  Not all preps will cover you, but as Patton said:  "It's not the plan, its the planning."

All in, I'm at about $250 spent to prep for doing this at home.

Of course that's a last resort and we plan to work from home and take the kids out of school for a 30 day period and then re-evaluate after that if cases show up in our province (state).
