They should drop the quarantine and just deliberately infect everyone. Those that live will be immune. One generation to wipe out the disease. Oh, and we'll fix that pesky overpopulation problem as well.
Because it's redundant for emphasis. Redundancy is never "wrong". Otherwise common redundancies would never ever have entered our lexicon. But they have, so redundancy isn't "wrong" simply for being redundant. Some places are 24-7-363 (every day but Christmas and New Years, or something like that). But they are "just" 24-7.
For pedanticism, it should be 24-7-365.25, otherwise, one would presume they are closed every 29th of February, right?
Nope. The common cold, and flu are contagious when non symptomatic. Ebola isn't "contagious" in the common usage at that point, though a blood transfusion with whole blood directly from an infected person could transmit it, a cough, sneeze, or casual contact is impossible to transmit.
The problem is people use their knowledge of "viruses" (being the cold and the flu) and apply that to everything else. It doesn't work. Ebola doesn't work the same way. If you get sneezed on by someone with a cold, you have a 20% chance of getting it. And the sneeze particles will land on surfaces and you get a 10% chance of getting it from touching the surfaces. (percentages made up for comparison). But with Ebola, you have a ~100% chance of getting it if a sick person sneezes a droplet into your mouth or eyes. And a 0% chance of getting it touching the surface after.
It doesn't use "common sense" transmission because our knowledge is focused on the viruses we deal with the most. The cold and the flu. And this is different.
Until a person has symptoms, they don't have the virus in concentrations sufficient to infect others. If everyone with Ebola exposure were to be issued a watch that monitored temperature and notified when the temperature was elevated (and quarantined then), that would be sufficient for 100% containment. Which wouldn't work for the cold or the flu.
You're lucky (figure of speech). Usually the cloning thing requires the help of the cashier or the store owner (the terminals are modified), in most cases, I'd say what we call here : "depaneurs" (small stores where you buy beer, magazines, newspaper, cigarettes, milk, candy... etc).
No, I just live in a civilized country (and no, not the USA). 10 cloned cards from the same store, and the owner would lose his merchant agreement and face a criminal investigation. It takes a real shit hole (figure of speech) to allow such wide-spread fraud that's traceable to a specific person and address, yet have no arrests or crackdown on it.
"Western scientists built an intellectual culture based on the premise that it was worse to fool oneself into believing in something that did not exist than not to believe in something that did."
Seems it comes down to a red/blue fight. Red=religion. Believe it until proven otherwise. Blue = science. Don't believe it unless proven true beyond any reasonable doubt.
No, today if a merchant accepts a swipe+PIN, and the PIN was correct and the transaction was confirmed by the bank, then the bank holds the liability, not the shop.
But if the merchant accepts a swipe+sign, then the merchant is liable for any loss, unless the card was reported stolen before the transaction and the purchase was "approved" by the credit network (never happens) or the stolen card is recovered and it's shown that the signature on the card matches the one on the receipt (then the card holder is responsible). For all other combinations, the merchant is responsible. The user is only responsible if the card is used and they don't report it missing in a reasonable time, or if they didn't sign it so that the thief could sign it. The merchant already bears most of the risk. Moving to a new way that they accept most of the risk doesn't seem to be as disadvantageous as you make it sound.
With the chip+stripe cards, the rules here didn't change for them. The merchant was no more liable for a swipe than before. If you have a swipe+PIN approved by the bank, there is no liability on the merchant. If you have a swipe+sign with matching signatures, there is no liability on the merchant. Even with chip cards. Is it different in Europe?
They are afraid they will suck at it, so they make up stories to get out of it. That's what it usually comes down to. But it's not that hard. Really. It was "made hard" by professionals who want to convince everyone that it's hard.
From my experience trying to find a photog for events, i.e. engineers week banquets, is really hard. So far we've been lucky, mostly be accident (someone is willing to jump in at last minute). Either photog will charge lots of $$$ making it difficult for us non-profits, or they will insist it be locked down on a website, or a horrible watermark. I got into a big argument with one guy who does beautiful photos but so possessive of them, "you don't understand, people may steal your photo and make a lot of money from it! (uh, pictures of engineers getting awards will never be valuable like a rock star that has a wardrobe malfunction). If I do find someone, it's either they get stuck in traffic or have a family emergency. I think my next move is ask some college students that want to participate and show off their skills.
Ask some of the engineers to do it. It's really not hard to do it. And it's cheaper to buy a camera for an event (About $1000 for a "good enough" prosumer camera) than it is to hire someone for that event. The pros have $10,000 of lighting equipment, and have to charge to earn that back. I bought the $1000 camera for tourist reasons. And it's served me well for about 10 years. Bought the Rebel XT long ago.
what the hell are you blabbering about? is english your first language or is this a translation because you make no sense
You are saying I don't have the right to complain when I'm offended. That my taking offense to things offends you, and you have the right to not be offended, but I don't have the same right you are demanding for yourself. You've been smoking too much of your own product.
Nope. I'm saying one mistake is not representative of healthcare in the US.
I'm saying that mistakes are representative of healthcare in the US, and that's just one of many examples.
And if I went to a hospital feeling sick a few days after being with someone who had Ebola I'd sure as heck make sure the doctor I talked to knew it.
He did. Would you repeat your medical history to everyone that you see? Or would you tell it once to the person that asks, and assume that everyone who sees you saw your chart? If you repeated your medical history to everyone in the hospital, they'd put you in the psych ward, rather than the Ebola ward.
The photographers lost before digital. Disposable cameras for everyone was cheaper than a professional photographers, and because you ended up with so many photos to choose from, the results were generally similar, if not better, so long as you were looking for an album filler, not a 10' poster of the happy couple.
But disposable cameras only came in just before digital. The cousin with a digital SLR was good enough for multiple weddings I was the photographer for. Digital media was so cheap, you'd shoot thousands of shots, and hopefully have some that were pro-quality in there. I never had any complaints.
From your link: "there was a large difference in predicted vs. actual ED wait times. "
Great. I haven't seen them, and they are not recommended by the article you posted that referenced them, and in fact what you posted indicated the times were wrong and misleading.
But if someone steals your card, they can clone the mag stripe, or use the mag stripe on your card. Then they'll just use it in the US. The mag stripe is still there and still a valid attack method.
I'm curious what shops you go to. I've never been cloned.
Doctor wasn't told that he might have been exposed to Ebola.
The nurse was told when she gathered the patient history.
Are you saying that process incompetence is fine, so long as it's bad for the patient, but medical malpractice is not ok, even when they get the same result?
I never said anything about anyone having rights to not be offended.
Or to put it in your liar speak, you are offended that I'm offended, and demanding the right to not be offended. When I didn't demand anything, just pointed out I was offended. You are trying to silence my speech, and are the only one here demanding the right to silence others. You are the worst of what you claim to hate. It must suck, hating yourself so much. I guess that's why you irrationally lash out at others.
As someone who works with computational models, knowing the exact answer is not always going to lead to a more effective or useful result in the field. Knowing you need a 1.77245 mm incision has little value over knowing that a 1.8mm incision will work with a scalpel operator which is only accurate to 0.2mm.
You are presuming the only use is surgical accuracy. You are wrong. It could be choosing between an shunt and a stent. Or determining if a leak or defect is bad enough that it requires surgery, or if alternative treatments would be effective, forgoing surgery completely.
It's not about optimizing the surgery, but determining whether it's even needed, or what to do if it's done.
LOL, you expect us to believe you saw "wait times" advertised on billboards for hospitals in the US? I've never seen one in the US. Usually, if you need an ER, you don't drive around for hours shopping ERs. So there's no reason to advertise them.
Seems much more likely that you are an American who found a canadian site (probably off a conservative blog rant) and are lying to make it seem like the care in the US is anything but poor. I've been to doctors on 5 continents. The US medical system is the worst, unless you are a billionaire with a rare disease.
I looked online and could see lots of places listing Canadian or Australian wait times, but not the US. They don't list them, track them, or care about them. That you saw so many, when I've never seen one in the USA makes me think you are a liar.
Checks are still very common in the US. Rare, but still used in Australia. I never saw someone use them in Singapore or China, but have only gone there for weeks at a time, not months or years, as some other areas.

Yeah, America. The place where you show up at the hospital with Ebola and are sent home with aspirin and antibiotics. "Best in the world".
. In other words, you dont have the right to be offended,
I never said I did. When you have to lie to show the other person "wrong", you've only proven yourself wrong.
In theory, they can't. In practice, they can via fraud. It's easily reversed by reporting the fraud.
