I don't get why they flew people from Africa to the US and put them in specialized infectious disease hospitals like Emory and Nebraska Medical, but we get actual cases here in the US and they just leave them to be treated at this random hospital in Dallas? Why wasn't Duncan moved to Atlanta or Nebraska where they actually understand how to treat infectious diseases? Why aren't these nurses being moved there? This hospital is clearly incapable of working with these patients. Also it's astounding to me that someone involved in the treatment of someone with ebola is just allowed to take off on a trip. How can that hospital be that irresponsible?
This is not just the hospital's fault. The CDC is right there telling them what to do so they deserve some of the blame.
Jet made 5 flights after carrying nurse with Ebola
The Frontier Airlines Airbus A320 flew to Cleveland, Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta after carrying a Dallas healthcare worker diagnosed with Ebola.
What I find interesting about how she merely touched her face with the gloves is that she wasn't actively sucking on the virus like some other posters here were saying that you had to do in order to contract the disease. This thing is deadly and extremely contagious.
this is the the thing that gets me. they claimed it was extremely hard to get. yet she got it by just touching her face?
Dallas hospital workers went two days without face protection while caring for Ebola patient

wow..so they aren't even taking basic care not to get affected? what hell CDC!?
Dr. Tom Frieden, director for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said during a telephone press briefing Wednesday that you cannot get Ebola by sitting next to someone on a bus, but that infected or exposed persons should not ride public transportation because they could transmit the disease to someone else.

“I think there are two different parts of that equation,” he continued. “The first is, if you’re a member of the traveling public and are healthy, should you be worried that you might have gotten it by sitting next to someone? And the answer is no.”
“Second, if you are sick and you may have Ebola, should you get on a bus? And the answer to that is also no. You might become ill, you might have a problem that exposes someone around you,” he said.

I will get worse before it gets better. As I have said before, our healthcare system is run my greedy, lazy and incompetent monkeys. Everyone should be worried and prepare for the worse.

Managers reporting to managers. Always good to produce a lot of roadblocks in the name of metrics and buzzwords..... and managed by bottom-liners and ladder-climbers.
Wait till Islamic terrorists pre infected with ebola will be landing in our subways and moon in the direction of crowds and spray them with diarreahs of mass destruction.
Obamas fault.
