He's absolutely right. So when will it happen?

The quarantined partner of Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan should be moved with her family out of the Texas apartment where Duncan became sick with the virus and where his sweat-stained sheets were still on the bed, the Dallas County director of homeland security said.

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, also director of the county's Homeland Security and Emergency Management, said officials are working on that relocation after Duncan's girlfriend told CNN of being forced to live with distressing living conditions.

Jenkins acknowledged "some hygiene issues" in the apartment.

"I would like to see those people moved to better living conditions," Jenkins told CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday afternoon. "We are working on that. I would like to move them five minutes ago."

In the wake of Louise's revelations about Duncan's sheets and towels, a medical waste contractor was on the way to her apartment, a CDC official said Thursday.

The official did not explain why the contractor is on its way only now, as Duncan was removed from the apartment on Sunday by ambulance and taken to the hospital.
