I agree, and both hospitals where I work have such systems. I suspect a lot of hospitals do; likely the majority, but I don't know...

Isolation is so difficult for patients, families, and nurses...and families tend to get lax, over an amazingly short period of time...so do physicians, in my experience.

Just following the discussion. I see a lot of worry about a fall outbreak. Why? Why would the disease revive in fall as opposed to sooner? Wouldn't the extra time between now and then give us better chances to find controls and/or cures?

And lastly, I don't remember seeing any speculation on whether this was a failed (botched) attempt at producing a bio weapon by the Chinese that escaped the lab. Any links to that sort of discussion? (I work in the chem/bio detection field and haven't seen anything on it from this end but it's amazing how fast FR is at finding the real story)
