From the link:

If an Ebola patient showed up tomorrow, USA Medical Center personnel would be able to place the patient in an isolation unit, she said.

All that's needed is a private room with a bathroom; proper signage; and a cart set up outside with gloves, shields and other equipment to prevent the spread of germs.

Snip

Hand-washing before entering the room and again upon exit; gloves added and then removed upon exit by being carefully turned inside out; and protective gear in the form of a full-body apron and paper face mask, topped with a clear face shield to cover the eyes.

All hospital trash is treated as biohazardous waste and carefully disposed of...

Dear Jesus, these are dead people walking if this is the protocol they follow if they get a case--and everyone they are in contact with is at risk...

I agree if they are symptomatic (obviously). For regular pre-disease confirmation quarantine duty the gear and procedures are probably ok.

I want to see Freiden and his posse outfitted exactly as recommended and attending to Ebola patients— real footage, not photo ops.

AS IF they would follow their own suggested protocol.
