The CDC has been making an awfully lot of assumptions. We will find out how accurate those assumptions have been within the next 2-3 weeks.
Well, one thing we know for sure-they told us that it couldn’t happen here because we had such a good health care system and any hospital could handle it.
That assumption has proven to be inaccurate. We have had 2 health care workers infected and hundreds with potential exposure. We’ll be lucky if there are no more cases from this chain of transmission.
In addition, it is not comforting that the nurse was not even considered to be in the high risk group. How’s that for the CDC being correct?
With a disease that kill over 50% of its victims and is highly contagious it doesn’t take too many bad assumptions to add up to overwhelmed hospitals and full morgues.
