(838 posts)If they are going to lock it down, then lock everything down for a month. I live in the Dallas area and ride the train that serves the area around Presbyterian Hospital. We've had some serious transit issues the last month because of high winds and power outages. We had a four-hour commute home one evening when all rail service shut down. Hundreds of us were dumped off at the Mockingbird Station which is right across the street from Presby to wait for shuttle buses. It was total chaos and people who thought they were being funny joking about ebola when we're literally packed in a train or bus, shoulder to shoulder were not appreciated.
I am starting to get a little concerned and wonder how many of the health care workers rode the train or bus to the hospital.
