In the world
of microbes the world has always been flat
Now with
jets deadly diseases can reach distant shores faster than the drop of a hat
The news out
of Dallas on Ebola has the city on edge and in fear
Eric Duncan
coming from Liberia has Ebola and the protocols the hospital did not adhere
Ebola when
caught is a complete terror
Now we face
a panic because of human error
Into an ER
with a fever, he was treated and sent home
To mingle
with his family to give the virus a chance to roam
Basic
protocol that should have been followed would have asked from whence he came
Liberia and
a fever, he would have been whisked into isolation to the risk of spreading
tame
Hundred
people may have had contact with this virus which is not airborne
Great chance
there will not be other deaths to mourn
The CDC went
on to full alert and off to Dallas with a large team
Checking out
the contacted and ready for public safety to quarantine
Better yet
drug companies are working on an Ebola vaccine
Whoever
succeeds will be rolling in wads of green
We may have dodged
the bullet from this microbe terror
Mistakes we
will always have; we are never free from human error
