I am at a loss as to why Emory University Hospital was selected instead of the Plum Island facility. Does anyone know why an isolated facility built to handle dangerous pathogens was passed over in favor of a facility in the heart of a metropolitan city?
Emory houses one of 4 special isolation units, the one at Emory was designed 12 years ago to treat CDC employees for this kind of thing.
The Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) really doesn’t have any application to the two victims and it is hard to tell if it is even still operational (fedgov has tried to re-locate it apparently unsuccessfully).
