The employee is doing this himself...kudos to him too.
He is aware of the treatment strategies and knows the precautions. Our government should take a page from his book and actually do something to help reduce the spread. Right now, we are responding to a crisis instead of getting ahead of it.
IMO, the state and the Feds should be pushing to setup a biocontainment treatment facility (either temporary or permanent) at OLOL and similar facilities across the nation. Hopefully we won't have to use them. Something with negative pressure and a staff trained and equipped to handle at least one patient at a time.
Texas Presbiterian proved that regular hospitals are not equipped to handle ebola cases. I also suspect that they moved those nurses out to other facilities because they expect more cases in the near future.

I really think the statement should be taht presby hospital demonstrated that the cdcs recommendations for PPE when taking care of ebola patients were ridiculous.
I mean seriously comic book cartoon stupid. The gear they sent these people into the treat this patient with was totally laughable.
is how MSF dress.
This is cdcs recommendations...
The freaking politicians in the cdc who allowed those recommendations to be released should be sent over to treat patients in liberia with the PPE they recommended.
