CDC guidelines call for Level 2 PPE (droplet protection), when this is a Level 4 Pathogen, where BSL4 PPE should be donned. As Ken Isaacs testified before congress, “this is a disease where if even one millimeter of skin is exposed, you will become infected and likely die.”
I am waiting for someone to challenge Frieden to take care of an Ebola-infected, symptomatic patient with a high viral load, employing CDC “droplet protection” protocols.
It will never happen. I saw pictures of him in Africa. He was covered head-to-toe, with no skin exposed, per WHO and MSF/Doctors Without Borders guidelines.

Not necessarily its just really difficult to be 100% with theses things, which is why you have to take every precaution you can.
If Obama had half a brain he would be doing what many country’s are doing and legally prohibiting unnecessary travel to West African country’s. No it won’t stop the spread, but it will slow it down and buy us more time to find a more effective cure.
