This is really upsetting. [/quote]

Good for the nurses that are speaking up. Most hospitals in this country are not prepared for Ebola. They do not have staffing or space or the proper gear. The space suits they have at the CDC and Emory with the battery back fans that keep your mask from fogging up are not the same isolation gear they have at standard hospitals around the country. I think the CDC and Obama were too quick to say that US hospitals could handle this. Our hospitals are better but standards are different in Africa. For one thing people don't travel as much as they do in the US so it spreads slowly. Secondly, in previous  outbreaks that have been smaller, hundreds or thousands have still died. US citizens will not tolerate hundreds of people dying from Ebola. They will boycott flying, and many other things that will cause our economy to tank.[/quote]
