This is an interesting read from someone who was part of the 1976 Ebola discovery.

It appears you have incomplete, or even erroneous information. The "Bat" you saw should have read Battleaxe, or even possibly Banshee. Yes, FWIW.I found the Bat in question.
Would the noted view be Racist or Sexist? More likely Preservationist.
Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.
Dude with Ebola in Texas has died....
I heard they're giving the Nebraska patient a blood transfusion from an Ebola survivor with the same blood type so that he has the antibodies the survivor has. Will this end up being our Ebola vaccine --- a blood transfusion? Better than nothing I guess.
I have never been a blood donor, but if I knew that I had the cure to Ebola in my blood, I'd be sticking needles in me as often as American Red Cross would allow
Things are moving too slowly. They have decided to speed up the entire process:

Beware the man who would rule you for your own good. He will never cease. He will regulate every aspect of your life, destroy your liberty and enslave you, and sleep well convinced that he has made the world a better place.
Oops, that hard to catch Ebola snagged another healthcare worker in Dallas.
to be fair, if it was the measels, there would be like 30 of them (without vaccines)
i'm a little surprised it's only been nurses. were they making out with him or something?
And yet nobody outside of hospitals have caught it. It's pretty clear that it doesn't spread like the cold.
I think I'll trust the epidemiologists who study this stuff. They've always said that the protective gear isn't fool proof if protocols are not followed. (Think of having your suit covered with vomit, blood, or diarrhea and then try to remove it without making contact with the body fluids. That's not an easy task.)
It appears that the nurses and doctors in the hospital were not fully trained. That's a problem.
It appears the CDC is blowing smoke out their' ***...

They've been saying for a while that they expect there may be some hospital workers infected. They haven't been hesitant to say that.
It sounds to me like they knew ahead of time that the hospital and staff may have not been fully prepared to deal with an ebola patient.
I'm not sure how that is blowing smoke...
Correct. It doesn't spread like HIV either, though.
At least I hope not. That would be really awkward to explain.
I'm going to die.
Bold prediction, fershur!

You had sex with the ebola guy?
My post was a bit tongue in cheek, but for a place where infectious disease control protocols were supposed to STOP the spread of the disease, there is definitely something either wrong with those protocols or there is something else here with regards to it's ability to bypass those controls or at least the ones that were in use there.
I just hope there isn't a rush here to come up with the answer they want instead of doing a thorough analysis to ensure that control protocols are indeed the problem.
Not lately.
I can't imagine too many nurses will be volunteering to take care of the next ebola patient. This could be an issue if it becomes more widespread.
