CDC had no authority to force this hospital to do anything. It can only advise. The state of Texas is responsible for regulating this hospital. This said, Texas is a great state, with great people, even if they screwed this one up big time. Dallas is a beautiful city. There are great hospitals in Texas and bad hospitals everywhere.
