I don’t live in Dallas...but I do work there.
I agree with you. Every day brings a new “you’re kidding me aren’t you?” moment.
Here is another:
The Dallas Hospital had a machine called a “Film Array” that can detect whether someone has the Ebola virus, with a high degree of accuracy, in under an hour. All the hospital had to do was to get the correct “kit” to use the machine to screen for the virus.
The FDA would not allow this because the hospital has to agree to use the machine for “Research Use Only”.
It is the same machine being used in Africa by the military to screen for the virus.
The Machine only costs 39K. You would think the FDA would relax their requirements in this case but I guess not. Would make too much sense.
