Why did the hospital not follow CDC guidelines?
“Why did the hospital not follow CDC guidelines?”
Normalicy bias. Couldn’t have been Ebola. Even if it was Ebola it couldn’t possibly be Ebola.
Ebola can only be managed in specialized containment units
Regular hospitals just aren’t capable of treating the infected without collateral damage to the staff (now 2 nurses infected)
The CDC should have removed Duncan from Dallas on Day 1 and got him into a secure facility.
The fact they didn’t is evidence of unacceptable incompetence, or a deliberate attempt by the WH to ensure the virus spreads.
The CDC guidelines are for something less than Level-3 pathogens. The sort of gear you might wear when dealing with a new strain of the flu.
The United States is very unprepared for ebola and the CDC is ruled by an Obama appointed bureaucrat rather than a knowledgeable physician.
