[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:51, for a specially trained team like this, they are cross trained.  No one will be at risk for catching Ebola if they have not been trained.  The breakdown for a team like this is not the same as the hospital. Nurses and doctors take on multiple roles in order to decrease the number of people potentially exposed to the disease and to keep the risk of contamination lower.  They likely won't have a clerk anywhere near the patient, and since this disease is not airborne, the clerk is at almost no risk (obviously as long as someone is there was an infectious disease the risk can't be zero).   Yes, anyone who is uncomfortable with this very minimal risk can take sick days or leave, but most hospitals won't tolerate that.  [/quote]

Interesting -- thanks. I guess you are a hyper paranoid person, you probably aren't taking a desk clerk job in a hospital; I guess if you have such a job and are worried or not trusting Emory's precautions, you can quietly take some sick days but frankly who knows how many days the patient will need to be there.

21:04 -- I'm not asking out of panic, I am actually curious as to how these kinds of specialized teams work in a hospital since I am not in a healthcare related industry.[/quote]
