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

He is not protected because he has been vacinated.  Same reason Obama was not afraid to kiss the nurse who treated the patient.  For the rest of us, well good luck.

So no matter where these biohazmat teams are, someone is always supposed to be exposed for "safety" reasons? Sounds like a great protocol to ensure that lucky someone on the "team" is likely to contract and spread the disease around.

God Bless Medvedev for telling it like it is!

Yes indeed Barack Obama is a fucking insane lunatic which translates into the American people also being insane by "proxy"!

Do what you need to do Russia, cause the American people don't have a clue.  Let's hope that they all die from Ebola so that you won't need to "push the button"!!!

Okay for those of you that are too thin skinned with all the mistakes your government keeps making on your behalf that you choose to do nothing about like deliberate war crimes and pandemic(s), perhaps hangemhigh77 approach is more gentile and provides less of an edge for rebuke than mine...

So far, there isn't any proof that Ebola spreads other than through bodily fluids--despite a number of false alarms.  So, while eyebrow raising, clipboard man may indeed be low risk.

OK, but I'd be arguing for a travel ban to/from West Africa.  I also don't deny it could blow up into a pandemic. What I am saying here is that if you think it's only spread via bodily fluids, "clipboard man" is no big surprise.

The lack of a suit could be a terrible mistake, but the cases so far outside of W Africa don't show that.  We'll know in a couple of weeks (e.g. someone from the Frontier flight catches the virus).

Wow... lol... this display of government incompetence is beginning to make the Katrrina response appear to be a stunning success.  The reason clipboard idiot is not wearing any protective gear is because they refuse, for whatever reason, to admit that this disease can be transmitted by droplets: coughs, sneezes, breath even.  That fool was very likely one sneeze, one cough from that woman from dieing.  I just hope he did not touch his eye after touching that handrail while boarding the plane.

I hate to say this, but you guys in the U.S. are in serious trouble.  I knew it.  The CDC is a disaster, run by political appointees and staffed by mindless bureaucrats who do nothing but follow lists of procedures created by the political appointees: all of this dressed up as rule by "experts."

This disease is going to spread all through the country and cause shelter-in-place panic.  The economic consequences will be severe, becaue the shelter-in-place panic will be quickly followed by market panic.  Team Freiden and the other fools at CDC have 0% chance of regaining any public trust or confidence.

As the one of the daytime charge nurses at one of my former jobs used to like to say, "It is on like Donkey Kong."

It seems like the 'axis of evil' must always reduce to some kind of troika ( maybe from trinity ) Originally, way back, it was the Third Reich, Mussolini's Italy and Tojo's Japanese Empire. Then, when Dubbya's speech writers decided to take the meme out of cold storage and adapt it to 21st Century neo-con purposes, (in his 2002 State of the Union address), it became N. Korea, Iraq and Iran.


BTW: is that an oxymoron or what - "21st Century neo-con"?


Anyway, it now has developed - in what must be the absolute nadir of originality in Washington's vacuum of intelligence - that the axis-troika is still with us and it is ... Russia, the Islamic State (Caliphate thing), and, ebola. No more threat posed by North Korea. No more worry about Iranian nuclear ICBMs targeting Berlin and London. Whew! That's a relief! Now it's Pivot to Syria - Wait! That was last year - Pivot to Syria - pivot to Russia - back to Syria - And FAIL time and time again 


 


It's something to do with distraction, isn't it? And the 24-hour news cycle with a 12 hour memory.

I agree, and at this point..I will have to take issue with the usually correct ZH majority membership here and  play devils advocate and give credit where credit is due..

 and its time we gave due recognition to these CDC people and their fearlessness . The clipboard is perhaps one of the most under rated devices for this type of work. Its used now in africa and the Caribbean to ward off and many cases knock out attacking bats in mid flight as well as  hanging monkeys looking to pounce on their next victim. Remember The Man in Yellow ..he does not enter any jungle without one and its how he lured Curious George with a banana in one hand and with cliboard behind his back. All it took was one strike. It may take several blows  for Infected humans getting too close. But a hazmat team equipped with them can beat back an entire mob.

They can be thrown like those ninja stars and embed themselves in a skull from 10 ft or more..

They make ideal supplements to body armor

http://a.tgcdn.net/images/products/frontsquare/e769_bulletproof_body_armor_clipboard.jpg

•Level II Body armor clipboard (can stop up to a 9mm).

Clipboards can be used to fan away sneezes and bloody particulate producing coughs..and provide cooling that Hazmat suits, which dont have  Amana or Fedders air conditioners pack attached.. Note how calm and  cool our Hero is..this is an exceptional man..working under excepetional circumstances, for an exceptional agency representing an exceptional country..he should be lauded and high fived at every turn.

They are ideal for fanning oneself when electric power is unavailable, as pointing devices for those that cant speak swahilli..

I just can't say enough how indispensable they are in any crisis..managed , staged, or not..

Its the most cost effective solution next to soap, clorox and formaldahyde we have..I find it odd we have not equipped every single team member with one..The tal;king heads have their teleprompters..

Thank divine providence..we have Clipboards

there are a lot of pissed off nurses in massachusetts. .gov organized a state ebola summit but didn't invite anyone to represent the nurse perspective, you know, the people who are actually going to carry out the protocols, the ones most exposed. mass. has decided nurses are not important to the conversation about the treatment of ebola patients in hospitals not equipped to handle a pandemic.

don't mess with nurses. a few more infected nurses and you'll be begging for nurses. under the current regime nurses cannot refuse to treat patients because .gov has conveniently refused to acknowledge the spread of ebola is aerosol enabling your local hospital to treat ebola victims. as you have noticed infected nurses may infect the community. stand with the nurses to protect yourself.

Is there some requirement to check one's brain at the door on this site? Everyone here does remember how ebola is spread. That dude was not in a situation where he would come into contact with body fluids. It also helps to have someone working in a hands off supervisory position. I have been in hundreds (well actually thousands) of medical emergency situtations and there is nothing wrong with what is transpiring in those images.

Just consider that the guy who died traveled half way around the world in a pressurized tin can and not one person on that flight has become symtomatic.

As to the infection control proceedures in that Texas hospital... well that's a differnt story.

Only thing good about this is that the patient, Ms. Vinson, had on a Hazmat suit of her own for self containment. But that's not good enough at this stage of the outbreak because what are needed are demonstrably good examples of what to do to contain this thing. 

 

Saying the suits suck because they impair vision and you can't see out of them was a very revealing, naive and stupid thing for them to say. 

It reveals that non of these front-line people are experienced in using Hazmats on their own, don't know what they're doing, and the clipboard guy is their on-the-job babysitter and trainer.... Abandon all hope!

If you pick up a copy of "The Hot Zone" you'll see that the suits' tradeoffs and limitations are discussed in great detail. The faceplates fog, the material can easily catch on things in the environment and rip, it's very easy to cut one with a sharp object of one kind or another, or to have the powered respirator run out of juice.

In the suits you operate on a buddy system, and you're always watching your buddy for problems that might cause exposure.

This kind of thing is so carefully choreographed that for many repetitive operations they'll spend a day writing up copious notes for how it's supposed to be done (say taking monkeys from cages, killing them and bagging and disposing of them).

There are people who don't get to do Level IV biohazard stuff because someone thinks their hand movements are too quick.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Hospital officials in Connecticut have quarantined a patient with Ebola-like symptoms as a precaution, CBS Hartford affiliate WFSB-TV reports.

Officials said that the patient was admitted to Yale-New Haven Hospital.

They confirmed that the patient was one of the Yale University student researchers that helped monitor the Ebola outbreak in Liberia last month. That student was one of two who had been tested in Liberia. Both had negative results. They came back home on Oct. 11.

This is absolutely idiotic. But I think it was even more idiotic for the CDC to tell Amber Vinson it was OK to fly in the first place.

That said, Clipboard man and the other passengers on the jet are probably OK. Ebola doesn't seem to be all that contagious until it gets to the later stages. But I think it is entirely possible that more of the hospital workers might come  down with it in the next few days.

What no one is saying -- Ebola's natural reservoir remains unknown. No one knows where it comes from. We did not have the Ebola virus on this continent other than in tightly controlled research environments. Now, we have the Ebola virus here, out in the open. Maybe it lives in the flies that fed on the dead guy's barf left on the sidewalk. Maybe it lives in the squirrels running around the apartment complex. Maybe it lives in vegetation until an animal eats the vegetable then someone eats the animal. No one knows where Ebola lives outside of people so we can never be sure it is eradicated. I would not be surprised if there is a spontaneous outbreak of Ebola in Dallas some years down the road.

Regarding "ebola is a hoax" theories--two things to remember. The first is which was the first story that spread the paranoia--that is the one that might be an act. The secondary stories due to the spreading of paranoia (i.e an airplane being detained at Las Vegas McCarren with a mother and sick child recently from West Africa) are probably 100% true. So you have to look at the intitial story.

Let's say you're sick. You don't know what you're sick with until doctors identify it for you. It's very very easy to make 2 or even 1 person in a key position of power tell a lie that is then parroted around as absolute truth. A lot of people in West Africa get sick and die of stuff everyday, no doubt. Easy to pile on numbers, show stock footage of sick people in a faraway hospital as a newslady layers on about shocking statistics of how many people will die or could die or something. All theater.

Do I believe everything is a conspiracy? Nope. I doubt every movie stars death was the result of political retaliation, because that's dumb--people (movie stars included) die of something eventually, just like the rest of us. But I do not automatically believe what somebody tells me unless I have seen it with my own eyes. 

The "transmission characteristics" of ebola are schizophrenic. They're just getting sloppy in even trying to hide the ruse...and no doubt laughing about all of it...

Obama Refusal To Release Data On US Military Ebola Vaccine

"......Most chilling about this IS laptop, as reported by the Foreign Policy News Service, were the documents contained on it suggesting that its owner was teaching himself about the use of biological weaponry in preparation for “a potential attack that would shock the world.”

Other US media articles trying to discount the existence of these “Ebola Martyrs”, this report continues, further state that “the Ebola outbreak is in West Africa, far from ISIS territory”, a statement which stands in sharp contrast to the fact that the West African terror group Boko Haram has now joined forces with the Islamic State (ISIS/IS) to form what they call a “Super Caliphate”.

And most perplexing of all, this report concludes, is why the Obama regime, in having a proven ebola vaccine since 2008, has not yet allowed its citizens to know this fact, let alone use it to protect them…or at the very least its healthcare workers who are beginning to die."

All the dead locals are covered in gasoline and oil,
protected for osmosis

See those funeral pyres,
and flaming bodies appearing to boil.

Wasting away again in Ebolaville,
the virus is making a full intestinal assault,
Some people claim the Reston monkeys are to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.

Don't know the reason that I stayed here all season,
My gums and eyes have taken on a blood red hue,
But it's a real beauty, an African cutie,
Now I know, should have worn a condom while at the zoo.

 


Wasting away again in Ebolaville,
the virus is making a full body assault,
Some people claim that bat shit is to blame,
Now I think, hell it could be my fault.

I could use a visit to a beauty shop, my body moving like a spinning top
Cut my heel, oh, can see straight through to bone,
Ebola is like being inside a blender,
And soon it will render,
Bowel movements and vomit – I can no longer hang on.

Wasting away again in Ebolaville,
Every second closer to a burial vault,
Some people claim and find Doctors Without Borders to Defame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.

Yes, some people claim the CDC is to blame,
We all know, it's my own damn fault.

You guys are still falling for this shit. People here in West africa are laughing at you. The only people who have gotten sick on this continent are the ones who have been taking shots from the Red Cross. They've even caught shady people pouring toxic shit into drinking wells in Liberia. The jigg is up. Word of mouth travels fast. You are all a bunch of fucking morons.

If you're not a paid shill or troll and you are here taking this shit seriously, then face it: You are not as savvy as you think, you are more gullible than you think, your critical thinking and discernment is much less developed than you may think.

Coming to Zerohedge regularly has probably made you think you are in some special class of citizen. aware and awake. Bullshit. You're a fucking moron if you are falling for this shit and you need to do some serious introspection.

The disease transmission characteristics do not match with the spread of reported cases. Under 10,000 cases in over 8 months, for a disease that is infecting health workers wearing protective gear. Sorry ladies and gentleman but you are being had. Seems like the neuro-linguistic programming and heavy subliminal messaging and emotional triggering on the major tv networks is totally overwhelming all of your cognitive faculties.

I invite anyone here to make a brief cogent argument explaining how it is possible that ebola has been spreading for 8 months and has killed less than 4000 people. And don't give me the bullshit about people dying that we don't know about. With all the Ebola hysteria, you think if people were dropping dead somewhere they wouldn't be itching to add them to the tally. Most of the reported deaths are not even Ebola. Take the recent flatline, stick them in a body bag and tag it Ebola. Weigh the low deaths against the numerous and overshadowing reasons for using Ebola as an umbrella strategy to execute many agendas both at home and abroad in Africa. Stupid muppets.

This thread is a great gauge for how low the average IQ has sunk here on ZH. MORONHEDGE.

From Ghana: Ebola is not real and the only people who have gotten sick are those who have received treatments and injections from the Red Cross

Reason 1: This vaccine implemented sickness being "called" Ebola was introduced into West Africa for the end goal of getting troops on the ground in Nigeria, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. If you remember America was just trying to get into Nigeria for "Boko Haram" #BULLSHIT but that fell apart when Nigerians started telling the truth. There ARE NO GIRLS MISSING. Global support fell through the floor, and a new reason was needed to get troops into Nigeria and steal the new oil reserves they have discovered.

Reason 2: Sierra Leone is the World's Largest Supplier of Diamonds. For the past 4 months they have been on strike, refusing to provide diamonds due to horrible working conditions and slave pay. The West will not pay a fair wage for the resources because the idea is to keep these people surviving on rice bags and foreign aid so that they remain a source of cheap slave labor forever. A reason was also needed to get troops on the ground in Sierra Leone to force an end to the diamond miners strikes. This is not the first time this has been done. When miners refuse to work troops are sent in and even if they have to kill and replace them all, the only desire is to get diamonds back flowing out of the country.

A man in Schieffelin, a community located in Margibi County on the Robertsfield Highway, has been arrested for attempting to put formaldehyde into a well used by the community.

Reports say around 10 a.m., he approached the well with powder in a bottle. Mobbed by the community, he confessed that he had been paid to put formaldeyde into the well, and that he was not the only one. He reportedly told community dwellers, “We are many.” There are  are agents in Harbel, Dolostown, Cotton Tree and other communities around the ountry, he said.
