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).
I work at a hospital and today less than a dozen signs arrived to be posted in various locations. The signs read:
Attention All Patients
Notify security & triage nurse if within the past 3 weeks, you have recently travelled or been in contact with someone who has visited West Africa ( Guinea, Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone) or other countries where ebola transmission has been reported
and
have fever
or have headache, joint/muscle aches, weakness, fatigue, Diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain or bleeding.
I guess they haven't heard about the US reports, yet. As far as I know, the hundreds of thousands of hazmat suits and gear have not arrived yet.
