"Now imagine that huge numbers of hospital staff – from doctors to housekeepers, from food services to registration, from security and parking to transportation will decide not show up. They will call in sick or simply just say: “No, I’m not coming to work today.” In just a few days, human waste, debris, soiled linens, the sick, the dying and the bodies will pile up. We will be overwhelmed and unable to offer much in the way of assistance because the labor-intensive protocols that allow us to safely care for even one patient are just too exhausting. These procedures are barely repeatable more than once or twice of day, and fraught with so many steps and potential for mistake that it becomes too physically and emotionally taxing for the staff to do … so they simply wont show up."

-->"Hospital staffers reportedly take sick day rather than treat New York’s first Ebola patient"

[Gadsden1st]

New York has declared HCWs comming back from treating patients in Africa have to go into 21 day quarantine.

Will everyone treating our good Doctor in New York have to be in quarantine NOW while they are treating him, and then remain in quarantine for 21 days after he is cured or dies?

If not, WHY not?

I found the nurses calling out sick pretty interesting from your link, but was struck even more by this...

“The Post said Spencer, who is in stable condition, has been playing an active role in his recovery, putting his medical skills to use, lecturing the staff about proper treatment. “As a doctor, he knows a lot about medicine, so he would call the nurse’s station all day and going back and forth the doctors on what to do,” the source told the Post.”

If he is such an esteemed expert, why was he riding the NYC subway with symptomatic Ebola?
