[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people harp on the hospital not having highly specialized equipment. Not every hospital is prepared to handle something like this. This is news?[/quote]

WTF -- so it's ok for hospitals to be unprepared and then hang their nurses out to dry? I realize that not every local hospital is prepped for everything -- doesn't CDC realize that? Why not come up with a protocol that involves isolating a patient like this who walks in, not having any staff with him (which I realize sucks for that patient but is needed to protect people), and then get the local department of health to get adequate PPE to that hospital within x number of hrs or arrange for transport to a bigger regional hospital that can handled this.[/quote]

Have you ever worked at a Hospital? There is no way that hospitals are ready for Ebola. Staff are always overworked and never have all the things they need to treat patients. A thousand things go wrong a day at every hospital in this country. Sometimes doctors and nurses just are glad the patients survived their shifts. This is on a normal day without the deadly Ebola virus.[/quote]
