I think the “VERY good reason” is called “National Security”.
I’m trying to remember if there are interior connections between University & Bellevue. Bellevue may have a cross street on one side but there may be an overhead passage. University is on a very long street without any cross streets interfering with it.
Ebola cases should never enter our regular healthcare systems. They should be going to the specialized centers. Moving these ICU patients, out of an abundance of care, proves again that our system is not set up to handle this - recalling the CDC director a few weeks ago - and we are endangering ourselves in these situations.
This doctor, in particular, should have been transferred to one of the places better prepared to handle his case. Bellevue is not as prepared as they trumpeted just last week.
