What precautions?

Here’s the CDC website on dealing with Ebola for hospitals:

Look at the link for Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs):

The hair and neck are NOT covered in the illustration there.

That is live right now on the CDC’s own website.

They are blaming the nurse and the hospital??

I do not think that the CDC owns or controls Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.

Any violations of protocols would be the fault of the hospital and not the CDC.

Megyn Kelly asked that of Tom Frieden.

He said that no protective head gear is needed again all !!!!!!!!!!!!

She couldn’t believe it either.

Where is the yellow caution tape? this was high tech in Spain. It is nice to see checklists except they must be verified before they can be trusted. Gupta was complaining about the tubes. Only the CDC can test for Ebola. This hospital I worked at had an operation involving Mad Cow. It took security to come up with a fix for the waste.

The Republicans cut the CDC budget! (Even though they got $400 million more than they asked for this year).

“The hair and neck are NOT covered in the illustration there.

Exactly.
This is taken from the Public Health Agency of Canada website (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/ebola-eng.php):

“INFECTIOUS DOSE: Viral hemorrhagic fevers have an infectious dose of 1 - 10 organisms by aerosol in non-human primates.”

Way too much is not known about this virus to be approaching it like you would any other standard infectious agent.

this claims the nurses were told to wrap surgical tape around the top of their suits and their necks!!!

As if taking off surgical tape wearing gloves, and without getting infected, is error proof

I want to see Frieden demonstrate this
