I read the CDC recommendations -- in the New York Times article -- and I was shocked.

The recommendations were less than precautions that might have been taken 30 years ago when the AIDS epidemic began. At least shoe and hair coverings were usually worn in the 1980s when taking care of patients in the final stage of their illness.

The workers who were cleaning up the Dallas apartments -- with the exception of the two apartment maintenance workers who were power washing the vomit off the sidewalk with absolutely no protection -- the cleanup workers were exceeding the CDC recommendations -- with full hoods, boots and respirators. Which would be the common sense thing to do.

I'm sure that Frieden is a really nice guy and went to all the right schools and knows all the right people, but did he ever bother to read what was on his own department's website?

Frieden said that "at some point there was a breach in protocol, and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection.

Yeah, what if the whole CDC protocol has a hole the size of a semi-truck?

Full hazmat would mean more like ZERO would be infected.

How dare they blame the nurse for any breach in a faulty protocol.
