ER 8x22 smallpox

[@cryptidian3530]

The music is so fitting due to how serious and deadly the disease is. Smallpox is no joke and the scene portrays that perfectly.

[@Shyvorix]

@Alfa&Omega 00000 That we know of...

[@Shyvorix]

@Alfa&Omega 00000 That is true, there hasn't been a case since. But that doesn't mean it's gone from the planet entirely. We know of the 2 samples frozen in secured storage, 1 in Atlanta and 1 in Koltsovo that exist today, but more samples have been found in the world but have since been destroyed. What scares me is there could be more...

[@Shyvorix]

@Alfa&Omega 00000 Koltsovo is in Russia. Yea, that lab. There was one in a forgotten storage room found that was destroyed, and another cloned also destroyed. There may be more, we just need to find them if so.

[@UnlimitedFlyers]

I watched ER back in the days, on the Warner Channel. With the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the FIRST THING on my mind was a flashback TO THIS VERY SCENE. That's how good and memorable this episode was to me. Thank you for making it. Watching this episode molded me into a person that is taking this crisis as seriously as it should be.

[@sweetlife031]

If ER had been airing when we were dealing with the Covid outbreak 😷 I could pretty much guarantee it that this storyline would be recycled but with Covid patients 🥺

[@nickthepostpunk5766]

I think the acting here from Noah Wyle was great. You could almost feel his bowels turn to water watching his initial reaction when shown the children's visible symptoms. Sorry to be so graphic but I did think that was a great scene.

@Alfa&Omega 00000 "Medical girl"? You mean the DOCTOR? How would you react? Smallpox has been eradicated.

[@mellowbee9464]

Alfa&Omega 00000 So you’d rather a medical professional start panicking and freaking out, frightening the patients, before knowing all the facts about what exactly is going on?

[@mellowbee9464]

Alfa&Omega 00000 Okay, I’m going to disengage from this conversation as I’m not sure of the point you’re making anymore and also find criticizing someone (a fictional character, no less) for the way they express their emotions is pointless and silly. Have a good day.

[@MsCanadianrose]

Well, chickenpox in a hospital is no laughing matter, either. It's airborne, meaning that they need to be in a negative pressure room and wear N95 masks. I heard a story from an infection control nurse who had what seemed to be poison ivy that went weird, but it was chickenpox. They had to screen all staff, all patients on the floor, and everyone who went through the ER in case someone didn't have immunity.

[@jewelmarkess]

Chickenpox is nothing compare to what smallpox was. Sure, it can be serious in some people, but for most people it's mild. Smallpox had 30% mortality rate, and those who survived had pox marks all over their faces. All those paintings of old kings and queens are not accurate - the painters omitted the pox marks all of them had.

[@thurman1701]

I understand what you're saying, but Carter (nor anybody) had ever seen it before, and he was looking more for confirmation. Obviously he suspected/feared that's what it was, and Susan said there hadn't been a case in 60 odd years. I think you can make an exception here

He's taking worse case scenario as precaution. Unlike today cdc would claim this was a symptom to a dog bite.

[@acer3573]

There has been no smallpox infections in the US since 1949. There have been no outbreaks of smallpox WORLDWIDE since 1980. The World Health Organization eliminated it with a worldwide vaccination program which was the largest public health effort in world history and smallpox is the only disease to be eliminated worldwide.. The only known reservoirs of smallpox are in laboratories like the CDC for research purposes under the strictest of security and quarantine.
