re: CDC head slammed for blaming nurse infected with Ebola

It's not like infectious disease is some new concept. US hospitals should be able to handle it if they are serious about healthcare.

Usually when they spread infection in a hospital only old people die, so the consequences aren't as high (I say that sarcastically, of course. My grandmother, and my wife's grandmother, both died from infections in hospitals)

Most of the folks who get infections in hospitals actually end up generating more revenue for the hospital! That's how our system works.
