Prayers up for you and Texas. This is so maddening to me. The hospitals here are making the same mistakes as were made in the early days in West Africa.

This is exactly how it spreads and gets out of control. People who have been exposed in amy manner must call someone to come to them - not go to the emergencey room.

Every county’s Health Dept. and disaster preparedness center should already have plans for this, and had it on the news.

We should probably be building large quarantine camps. All people suspected of having contact with infected people would be required to go to the camps for the requisite 40 days (from Italian quarantine giorni, literally "space of forty days," from quaranta "forty," from Latin quadraginta. From the Venetian custom of keeping ships from plague-stricken countries waiting off its port for 40 days (first enforced 1377) to assure that no latent cases were aboard. The extended sense of "any period of forced isolation" is from 1670s.).

Letting people who have had contact with infected persons is just insane; that's how exponential infections take off.

Late response to an exponential growth is a total disaster. You can never catch up. If you're not a generation ahead of the disease, you're doomed.

At least we don’t reuse needles.

In the early days a hospital infected people in 50 villages by using the same needle.

All. Day.
