Oooohhhhhh, they are nurses, not doctors. That changes everything. Nurses are basically Down's Syndrome patients who have to have the doctors tie their shoes for them. Zero training given to them, especially those working the Ebola ward. They probably just showed up to work, saw a guy in a big plastic bubble and decided to have a pillow fight on top of his hospital bed, got thirsty and polished off the rest of his Sprite.

Or do you think that maybe, somehow, even the experts at dealing with Ebola don't know everything about it yet?

I'm with you man. I'm thinking 70% of the people in this thread have slim to none experience dealing with critical incidents.

I think that the situation in Dallas is unique and an unlikely scenario to repeat in the US. The initial treatment of Thomas Eric Duncan was an under-reaction by the medical staff in not only misdiagnosing him a couple days before he was bought back, but by also not being safe while treating him for 2-3 days. Kaci Hickox's situation is the polar opposite where everyone is overreacting to a situation. There is a perfectly safe middle ground that doesn't trample someone's rights while keeping everyone safe. Last week was not the first time people entered the US after treating ebola patients.
