... they were promptly isolated at the hospital....

We need SEPARATE locations for Ebola patient isolation, otherwise our hospitals may not be able to handle ongoing healthcare needs. Kind of like MASH units.

Don’t count on our inglorious politically correct officials to do anything of the sort .... Just makes too much. Sense . On the contrary, let’s just allow anyone with symptoms to check in at anytime anywhere-— to include urgent care centers, retail clinics ..... Anywhere that health care is provided ....

Absolutely 100% correct. Even Liberia knows that. If we don't start constructing these field facilities immediately, stateside, we are self annihilating.

The separate facilities MUST be bio safety Level 4. There are very few such in the US and worldwide. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_level

They are kidding themselves with gowns, masks, goggles, face shields, etc.

As you say, we should have started a crash program to build lots of BSL-4 quarantine / rehab centers when it began spiraling out of control in Africa.

What happens when all of our hospitals are contaminated? Read The Hot Zone about how the Reston Monkey House was thoroughly decontaminated and sterilized, yet the new research monkeys brought in all got the SHF virus and died (relative of Ebola).

Absolutely!

Like TB Sanatoriums and Leper Colonies - there was a good reason for them then - like MASH units for Ebola would be today.

Maybe there should be MASH units at wide-open US southern border.....
