I am confident that they can set up a perimeter, render initial aid, process the contacts, isolate the patient, decontaminate, and if needed, enforce quarantine .
Good post.
By the way, this reaction team isn’t totally new either, it is similar to the Aeromedical Isolation Team that was disbanded in 2010.
It seems that we do have some resources, but that they have been so shelved and ignored that they are covered with cobwebs and probably (evidently?) not ready for primetime.
I hope that this Ebola event is enough to get us to start treating these precautions and preparations as important enough to maintain in a more ready status than as just something on paper.
