CDC confirms Texas patient is first case of Ebola diagnosed in U.S.

Jesus H. Christ. Now they're saying this 2nd person was a nurse that treated Duncan. She was supposed to be in this control group of 75 that came in contact with him. How in the fuck does this person get on a plane? This is what they're calling quarantine? You got to be kidding.
 
How to tell if your dog is clueless & completely screwing up his Ebola response...

You know that whole "a single nurse wasn't following protocol" thing? Yeah, well about that...

I can tell you that dressing and undressing is HazMat suits is extremely difficult to do without proper training. I have had extensive experience with this when I was doing valve and pump repairs in nuke plants. Taking all that stuff off and trying not to have it touch your skin is really difficult. Some things they should be using.
A. A buddy system. Someone watches you undress.
B. Visual examination by another person after you're undressed. No need for radioactive detection like we used in nuke plants, but some kind of ultra-violet light to show spotting on the skin.
C. Even the suspicion of contamination and you get scrubbed. That means you off to the scrub area, naked as a jaybird, and you get scrubbed head to toe and toe to head and back again by people trained to do so.
D. You go back for another examination. You don't leave until someone in authority gives written authorization.

Honestly, I can't believe they're not already doing this. It's not exactly an unknown procedure. Been in use for decades.

CNN has a report a couple of days ago from some type of infectious disease expert. He outlined at a high level all the things the CDC was failing to do. He also outlined at the low level things that hospitals need to be doing. His hospital list very much aligned with your points above.

Perhaps more importantly, how many of the other 74 are flying around the country, spreading this virus far and wide? Is a quarantine just some spam-like email that says "Please consider slightly less travel during this quarantine period"?

I wouldn't be surprised to see the hospital flew some of them to another state for training on proper Ebola procedures. . .
