Eric Duncan slept in every bed in his Dallas apartment and slept with his girlfriend when he was shivering from the symptoms. The CDC has no properly secured the apartment—infected sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels are still in the apartment. I have read that the members of he family have not been quarantined and were free to go outside the apartment.
This reminds me of the Zombie movie, World War Z. With the incompetence of the CDC we may be headed towards an ebola apocalypse.
Well sure, you can criticize the response, but do it in a fair way. Security, and cleanup is not all the responsibility of the CDC, or even NHS.. A large part of that responsibility belongs to the Dallas emergency services, and the State of Texas.
The fact that they were not ready for this is evident.
Give them some time here, and they will get it right. Other states and localities will look at the mistakes made, and the things done right, and they will use that information to better the responses in their areas of responsibility.
No emergency response, just as no war plan, ever survives the first encounter with the enemy. So it should come as no surprise that this first encounter exposed many weaknesses in our defenses.
It reminds me of the movie 12 Monkeys.
