Emory University Hospital is in the western suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia and about 1 1/2 miles from the headquarters of the CDC. This article is of acute interest to me because I worked at this location for several years in an IT role.

I had just stumbled across this article on my news feed and was considering making it my first thread of my nearlyt 13-year membership but the OP beat me to it! I’ll admit it made the hairs on my arm stand on end.

While this is may be the best medical facility in the country to treat a disease such as this due to its medical staff and proximity to the CDC I am vehemently opposed to bringing infected patients into the US from outside. In order to contain the virus in its presently questionable mode of transmission there must be a quarantine of travel for those who are symptomatic.

I am not fully confident that full PPE and the highest precautions can still ensure a 0% communicability..even in a sterile environment. This bears watching.

Due to the Ebola Virus, access to CDC will be closed temporarily.

Follow the link for a photo of their protective gear in Africa. Notice that they're wearing much more protection than doctors were wearing during the '70s outbreak.

You are not alone.

The CDC and Emory are joined at the hip. If anyone is going to be professional and good with this, it is these two, non-eventful recent mishaps nonwithstanding.
