This Dr. Tom Frieden talks like a combination of Max Headroom and the Jetson's robot Rosie. He answers all questions with platitudes and evasive responses and if you do not believe me, listen to the answers and try to think objectively: what is he saying? What is the answer to the actual question asked? Yes I know, you're going to say that I'm fomenting panic or unnecessary fears among the masses and we can't have that.

No, I am not. I'm looking for a brief period of honesty here. Look, he has been asked by several people including Anderson Cooper if leaving the bags of clothes, sheets, towels, and other items in the apartment was dangerous for the remaining family which had been quarantined inside. "Doctor" said, that once things are bagged, the viruses can't get out. But this is "concerning".

Wait…WTF? This guy excreted particles all over this apartment and these people were forced to stay there for days. I guess that's a really good idea because why not punish the people who were associated with a guy who is gong to be indicted apparently, should he survive, but the Dallas District Attorney, who can indict a dying man but wouldn't dream of indicting people clearly involved in the killing of the President of the USA…oops, did I just mention that again? So sorry….I know it offends some.

So in this medically superiorly advanced country, our answer to a case of the 21st Century Plague, is to sentence family members to sequestration inside an apartment filled with virulent material for days. Oh…the virus is dead because it's been out of the body for a while? Great…you go in and clean up then without a HazMat suit. No…? Why not? It's safe, isn't it? They said you couldn't possibly get sick from excreted virus after a certain amount of time…an amount they never quantify because they cannot. It varies with the surround, the ambient temperature, and other environmental variables some of which we may not even know about. Maybe it has an extended life when combined with Ranch Dressing.

So now we have a nurse who got sick and is in another country. What could possibly go wrong now? And these are admitted cases in advanced countries. What of cases in countries where people are not coming forward? All of this is predicated upon an honor system. Now THAT is amusing.

And we have them cleaning the apartment with the door open with a child standing a few feet away. There's sterile technique for you. This is a horrorshow unfolding in front of our eyes.
