Their handout to healthcare workers is nowhere near level 4. More appropriate for handling MRSA, not ebola.
Do as I say, not as I do.
The CDC is finding out that the “protocols” that they were advocating were not up to the task of protecting care givers from the disease & they are now in CYA mode they are literally trying to bluff their way thru the medical screw up.
