Welcome to Ebolaville.

Yo, everybody, and happy October 15. It’s 5:30 in the morning and I’ve got some breaking medical news from Ebolaville: Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital — the facility in Dallas where Thomas Eric Duncan died last week — was COMPLETELY UNPREPARED to treat any kind of highly infectious disease. According to a group of nurses who filed a complaint with National Nurses United, they had no protective gear and reportedly left Duncan in a room with other patients for “several hours” before isolating him, exposing at least 76 additional people. The complaint states that a nursing supervisor “faced resistance from other hospital authorities” when she requested moving Duncan to an isolation unit.

Worse yet, the CDC revealed yesterday that Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital workers had NO FULL-BODY BIOHAZARD SUITS until three whole days after Duncan was admitted, which makes it almost comical that Curly, Moe and Larry the local authorities — including Governor “Oops” Perry — are pretending to be shocked and horrified that one of Duncan’s nurses is now an Ebola patient herself. Holy shit.

I warned everybody about this in a Howdygram post back on October 2. If anybody is seriously counting on Texas to contain this scourge, we’re all fucked.

Maybe I should go back to bed now. Thank you for reading this.
