You sure do hate the CDC. To the point of irrationality. I wonder why that is.

Frieden and CDC trusted the Dallas hospital to be minimally competent with infectious diseases, particularly the one they had been sending alerts and notices and guidelines to for MONTHS. Sadly, the hospital has proved to be unequal to the task of handling even basic screening for travel risks, let alone actual patient care and employee training.

I think you need to go to Atlanta right freaking now and shove Frieden aside and show them how it's done. Because you're such an expert on Ebola.
