The trenches of our medical system are woefully unprepared for something like this

And what, in your view, would having the trenches "well-prepared" look like?

1. More than one isolation room per hospital floor.

2. Millions of quick and dirty tests to distinguish Ebola from flu distributed to all hospitals and clinics around the U.S.

3. All medical personnel in all hospitals and clinics trained to routinely deal with Hazard group 4 viruses like Ebola and the necessary Class 4 hazmat suits.

4. All cleaning personnel trained to use Class 4 hazmat suits and disinfect for Class 4 viruses.

5. Licensed and trained disposal companies capable and willing to routinely, quickly and properly dispose of Class 4 contamination.
