Still wrong Ebola Rx: Questions

1.) Betsy McCaughey wanted the hospitals to become better prepared for the incoming Ebola patients. She wanted to reduce the spread of Ebola.

2.) The solution she offers was sine its highly expensive for hospitals to install a personal suite for only one Ebola patient and risk many of the other patients, nurses, and doctors of becoming contaminated with that disease. As an alternative build more bio-containment facilities.

3.) Sean Kaufman's perspective of the CDC's method of applying their "protective gear" isn't very effective. In fact considered very irresponsible and incorrect.

4.) Rep. Michael Burgess' point was that in order to be fully protected from the virus they must be fully clothed from head-to-toe, not leaving any spec of exposed skin. Since they were not careful enough to cover themselves up properly, unaware that they could be infected from any area of their body, they could quickly get contaminated.

5.) Yes, I entirely agree with this statement. These facilities were specifically made to treat Ebola patients. Its important to have a small population in these buildings meaning less people would be contaminated by this virus. An oppose of treating the patient in a hospital where many people are coming and going will increase the spread of the disease. Especially since these other non Ebola patients have very weak immune systems the spread would be much faster. Any mistake made or accident of exposing this virus could create an abomination.
