Well, DUH. Why the hell didn't that happen in the first place instead of the CDC pretending everything was fine while gambling with peoples' lives?

DALLAS – Ebola has haunted Dallas for more than two weeks, killing one man and infecting a nurse who was treating him.

In hindsight — CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said on Tuesday — the nation's health protection agency should have stepped in and taken control when the country's first Ebola case appeared in Dallas.

"Getting it right is really, really important because the stakes are so high," Frieden said during a news conference. "We could have sent a more robust hospital infection control team and been more hands on with the hospital from Day One about how this should be managed."

Beginning Tuesday, Frieden said the CDC will rush a team of infectious disease specialists to assist U.S. hospitals with a confirmed case of the deadly Ebola virus.
