I'm thinking most had faith in the system then. But I'm thinking as of today, that faith has severely eroded in most people. It doesn't matter how many nurses Obola has kissed or shaken hands with. I don't think there is ANY possible way for this to be contained. The plane that nurse flew on had 132 people on it, and then the plane flew to 3-4 other places before being decontaminated. Their "plan" for containment is totally laughable.

And think how it's going to effect the economy when people don't want to go to work because they may catch it. No one in the hospitals will go to work. I doubt the police will want to go out in public at some point. The "government" doesn't have NEARLY enough suits for the police and military to maintain civil order.

All I can say is prepare!

Revenue drops 25 percent at Presbyterian Dallas, ER visits decline 50 percent after Ebola case

Presbyterian Dallas admitted its first Ebola patient on Sept. 28 and, subsequently, two of the hospital’s nurses also contracted the disease.

In the disclosure, released Tuesday, Texas Health Resources, the parent of Presbyterian Dallas, said revenue declined $8.1 million, or 25.6 percent, in the October period compared to business over the first nine months of year.

ER visits declined by 2,336, or 53.3 percent, and operating surgeries declined by about 165 cases, or 25 percent.

The daily census, the number of patients a day over a given period, declined by 21.1 percent, from 428 to 337.

THR said the negative financial impact at Presbyterian Dallas was primarily the because the emergency department was placed on diversionary status from Oct. 12 to Oct. 20. That means it didn’t take ambulance cases. Business also declined to a lesser degree because physicians transferred cases to other facilities.

Texas Health Resources “has not seen a decline in volumes/revenues at its other hospital facilities as a result” of the Ebola cases, THR said.

The disclosure said that THR management believed that the organization’s insurance coverage was adequate for any liabilities that might occur. “No legal claims have been filed to date,” THR said.

THR also said that it has “sufficient liquidity to cover any losses that might exceed coverage limits and declines in volume” at Presbyterian Dallas.
