Ebola is a level 4 biohazard.
Virtually no civilian hospital (or lab) in the country is trained or equipped to deal with a level 4 biohazard.

If they really were, even fewer of us could afford to go to the hospital.
The real error here was the federal government allowing a level 4 biohazard into the country through an obvious vector - people coming from countries where it is running rampant.
There are 4 hospitals, all of which I cannot name. One is Emory, another NIH.
Sure, Barry and the guv are to blame, but the hospital could have at least given its nursing staff, who couldn’t be closer to the Ebola patient’s bodily fluids, the level of personal gear that your local hazmat cleanup crew has.
