Sweet, an ebola suit.
We have information that you had contact with so and so... Please come with us...

ET...
Phone home...
this ebola joke aint funny anymore..
With the name tag "Typhoid Tom, CDC"
And Googles earnings report pretty much all around sucked. Let the vacuuming continue!
And that's relevant how?
For a mear $80.
Just a little over double that and you can get a pretty nice (and much more impressive looking) dupont hazmat training suit. Not that I'd rattle the cage and wear one to a social event or anything.

Somewhat off topic but not really, reports are that one of the passenger that was on the flight with the nurse is being monitored in Reno Nevada.
"Lightly used"
by a trainee who used it only once (touched the outside with bare hands taking it off).
god dammit! i overpaid for mine. spent upwards of 300+ to get the real deal.
still, this whole ebola thing reminds me of the Mask of the Red Death. When I walk into the 7 chambered halloween party and head straight to the room with blood-colored panes, some ppl are going to shit themselves, fer reals.
And you can drag your friend along with a jar of Heinz squirting out of his ass as the patient
Too easy...just stick your head up your ass and go as Obama...if you want to be super realistic, blow every white guy at the party, then brag about it..
Just cut a head hole in a body bag.
More realistic.
or if you actually come down with Ebola, go trick or treating as yourself
...also sold out of the basic black ISIS outfit.
<OT: If ISIS wore white, they'd scare the bejesus out of you masquerading as the CDC.>
Fashionable, AND practical.
my roomate's step-mother makes $72 an hour on the laptop . She has been without a job for ten months but last month her paycheck was $14012 just working on the laptop for a few hours. read this article... http://goo.gl/yioYBZ
So why do you still need a roomate if this gig is so hot?
and, why does his roomate need a roomate? can't his ma now spiff him his roomate's half of the rent (now that she is bringing down some bucks)? I think these two roomates are fag lovers. that's just what I think. I think they would room together regardless. for the fringe benefits. I think roomate #1's mother is probably ashamed of the both of them.
Ten months to get 'cleared' by the doctor?
Must have been one nasty STD.
I did his roomates' step-mother, she wasn't that good. But i did get a paycheck for $14012.
I know. I saw the videos. Your roommate's stepmother did some disgusting stuff to make that kind of money. Midgets, goats, donkeys, horses; every kind of farm animal you can imagine. Times are tough you know.
I once accidentally stumbled into a vid of Linda Lovelace bangin' a dog. threw up in my mouth the moment i recognized her face... not because she was bangin' an animal, but because this was supposedly BEFORE she became a famous porn star. all the guys she banged afterward (the thought makes me cringe) were getting sloppy seconds to a dog... and there were a lot of them. even worse, the bitch had kids.
the joke is funny until you realize there is someone out there in America whose history contains this kind of depravity. try explaining that to a psychiatrist...
.
my neighbor's ex-wife makes $77 /hour on the computer . She has been unemployed for seven months but last month her payment was $15804 just working on the computer for a few hours. go to the website... www.job-reports.com
How about Ebola make up? Team effort: Add two to five people with the suits and one with a clipboard.
Man, I had to log in just to +1 that one.
so does it actually work is my question (for $79.99)?
nope, you'd need full SCBA to be completely isolated from your environment (at least a level B). This is just a stripped-down cleanroom 'bunny suit'.
No. It would be impossible for you to keep it on indefinitely and to be sprayed off with a chlorine solution everytime you wanted relief would be impractical. Of course the real threat in not EBola, anyone who has been paying attention for the last couple of decades knows it's the solution that'll get ya.
just jump in the pool, right?
every time i forget my googles for a nightly swim I feel like the chlorine is seering through my eyeballs straight into my brain.
that should do the trick, right?
8 dollar for the paper coverall, 2 dollar for the gloves and 20 for the mask, which will probably just have simple carbon filters.... You need the bio filters, they cost more.
A good setup would cost you about 800 dollars, anything less and you've got crap.
And if you want a respirator, add another 800
Each Ebola patient will put a hospital in the hole for one half to a million bucks. I'll bet you anything obamacare won't compensate for shit.
Hospitals will go under caring for five or more Ebola patients on a sustained basis. Lose fucking money.
That's EACH Patient . . . And that's assuming the rather impressive needs of each Patient can be met by the Supply Chains - consumables (PPE, single-use devices, etc.), Blood Products (THAT will be the biggest issue), other Pharmaceuticals, Staff (for obvious reasons), even simple but important things like Laundry services.
I'm betting the treatment ceiling for the "later presenting" Patients is going to be set pretty low - it'll make today's standard of Palliative Care look akin to Nirvana!!
The cost and collateral repurcussions are enormous. At current mortality, hospitals have around a 50% chance of saving the patient. Risk vs efficacy has to eventually weigh in on staff, if it hasn't immediately done so already. IT AINT WORTH IT for hospitals to take on Ebola patients unless they get into the specialized clinical business of doing so, and that's assuming Ebola coverage in obamacare and an existing life insurance policy structured to let clinics put a lien on it for all outstanding costs. What a FUCKING nightmare is on the way.
Think this is bad, wait til wetback kids with Ebola come running across the border and obozo forces hospitals to treat them. We ain't seen nothing yet.
ask the nurses at Dallas Presbyterian Hospital.
Does it actually work? Compared to what? A Real hazmat suit that still doesn't work against Ebola?
Those boots work good with sheep. You drop their back legs in, the set up is perfect, they can't get away, and squirm real good.
Old backwoods trick.
So you're Welsh ?
Kenyan; one of the Commonwealth emigres.
interesting, i got a pair of boots like those...
Wear 'em on your hands... or get gloves like mine.
Fine print boots not included
An "Oldie but Goodie": Why are Welsh Sheep to tough? The survivors learn to run fast at a very early age!!
(Same idea as the old Navy joke - "How did they seperate the Men from the Boys in Nelson's Navy? With a Crowbar . . . . .!!")
Why should the folks knocking at the door have all the fun, and not the folks inside?
This year my Halloween give-away is dried fruit-bats.
Hemmoragic Fever is very zombie like, of course, the current "Ebola" shows no outward signs of hemmoragic fever. I miss the old Ebola with blood running from the eyes, nose and mouth.
I might screw some red tampons in my ears for halloween
Great idea! Besides, I already have that costume at home (Tyvek, full face respirator, nitrile gloves, rubber boots)!

Won't ever win a costume contest.
Now a sexy Ebola victim? That's a winner.
how many of the great unwashed would ever find their way into one of these?
Best to buy the 'real' stuff while you can still get it.
Sadly, this is where the Dallas hospital sourced its Ebola containment suits for nurses. The administrator who approved the order received a bonus for saving so much money over other "bidders."
and now your health insurance as well as mine will be billed 3 grand apiece for those $79.99 suits . the charges will be itemized as "Tylenol" and "Administrative Fee" during our non-Ebola / non-infectious virus visits.
how else will Presby get paid for Mr. Duncan's care?
as a postscript, yes it is true that the wise and savvy health insurance companies will only pay the hospital $1,200 apiece for these suits. Presbyterian will just have to accept that.
Yeah, Halloween will be the whole year round soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not too soon; I'll have lots of candy left for myself.
Any Dad who gets left at the door during the redistrubution of sugary goods needs to pull the bite sized Snickers bars after the Mom leaves with the kids. I have often said that it would be more economical to just buy the kids a bag of candy. That way we would not have to worry about razor blades in apples and shit like that.
My wife, who knows how to sew, made our three year son a Spartan Halloween costume by hand. She even put "300" on the front and hand made the logo from that movie and sewed that on to the breast. It looks awesome and she did it all from scrap material.
I'd bet your teaching him how to say "Molon Labe!" with conviction, eh?
Indeed. I do what I say I will do and I have been teaching my three year old son to say "eeeeeeeebola" per my reply to Dr Engali earlier today. He can do "eeeeeeeeeeebola" but I have not been able to get him to conjoin the phrase, "That's fucking bullshit".
"Molon Labe" is something that he will have to learn. One concept at time. He sure likes his plastic swords and is fascinated by my actual steel bayonets. I will teach him and there will be another one of us but it might take a couple of decades. We are here now.
Good Lord, I used "your" instead of "you're".
Lashing myself on the back.
"eeeeeeeeebola!"
Cute, have fun!
Great age.
did you give him a real sword at least?
No, I gave him a real hatchet and he managed to lose it somewhere. Now he wants my axes but that is not OK with me because I can't have tools laying all over in the woods. I told him that he lost his weapon and that losing your weapon is really stupid. He knows that it was stupid of him to lose the weapon but he is only three years old. I will find it somewhere eventually and probably while mowing the lawn.;-)
Children...LOL
"He's just an angel with an axe for a toy.
Ha ha, that's my boy."
"He wants a colt for Christmas - Colt .45!
I'm mighty proud to call him my son.
Ha ha, look at him load that gun. Got his own little shoulder holster!"
"I'm mighty thankful for what I've got.
But I'm sure glad he's such a lousy shot.
Take a look - missed me! That's my boy!"

How much is the teleprompter?
Hello Dr Nick!
Hi, everybody!
Monetize the insanity.
Everything is for sale.
Make it even more hilarious by smearing it with some red paint and telling your friends you found it in the dumpster at the local hospital.
Meh... I'm going as the eeeeeeboooooollllaaaaaa guy.
This pic gives us a great idea how the hospital staff are in a no win situation.
Say they go into a victims room with this on. Great, but what happens after some sweat, urine and spit end up on their gloves or sleeve? That stuff is ultra biohazard. What happens if they took some ventillator spray to the face? Its not on their skin yet, but now the mask is totally contaminated. See his hair? It's in there too.
Then he walks out of the room. Dude is a now walking catastrophe. He needs to head straight for an isolated shower before he can remove anything. If he takes his mask off, Crap can get on his skin and hair when he slides it off, or Ebola on his gloves may rub along his facial skin while removing it. When he takes off his suit, none of the outside should touch any bare skin. Taking off his boots is the easiest part and lastly his gloves, but where does he put all that crap? In a hospital shower and hose it down? Contaminated water will splash all over creation. They would have to decontaminated every room the caregiver walks into - stockroom, hallway, etc cause the presumption is even boots are contaminated.
The only way they come close to succeeding is by use of disposable attire, having a dedicated room adjacent to the Ebola patients room to shed garments, another room next to that to shower down completely nude, another room to high velocity wind dry off in the direction of the shower room and then, presumably and finally, a clean room that is being vesphened 24/7.
The other alternative is CDC type reverse isolation where the room is hermetically sealed and they walk into their suits like you see in the movies
Is that an Ebola boil I see on his neck?
anyone else getting the "Am I Your Match" Chinesewomendate.com advert whilst perusing our beloved ZeroHedge? What, does the beautiful asian broad in the picture have Ebola? You mean she can't get a date in China? She's asking fat, bald, beer-swelling me if we are a match? Hell yeah we are. Come on over tonight, sweetheart. I'll chill one for you for after the hay. You like beer, right? You won't be solly.
Is there a 'slutty' version of this available?
Flo from Progressive should do nicely.
echh
His neck is exposed!
We'll tell him to use medical or duct tape! It worked for the 70 HCW in Dallas....
Oh wait...
People might want to hang on to their costumes. For later.
screwed
[skrood] Adjective
That's the guy showing up at the Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas Halloween party.
We don't need no stinkin hazmat suits. We swat Ebola dead with a clipboard. Long clipboards!!
Hazmat "Level H" Suit

Yesterday eve I went to the shooting range, then I did a double header of World War Z followed by Outbreak.
Now THAT made for some quality dreams I can tell ya.
Rat a tat tat bitchez
And to be fair, Nurse Nina Pham is looking a tad better than most did in Outbreak.
Here is a vid of her in hospital (apparently advising everyone to come party in Maryland with her??!!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e8DXyVc7Lw
She doesn't even look like she has the sniffles, let alone a Level4 pathogen laden uncurable virus.....
