(11,065 posts)they were not under any instruction to not live as normal INCLUDING continuing to work at the hospital with other patients. This is a chief complaint concerning the CDC fuck ups, the worst of which was allowing Mr. Duncan to be treated in a regular hospital that they KNEW did not have BSL-4 standards or staff and with a CDC PPE protocol that was not up to a BSL-4 standard and not even a BSL-3 standard when there was no earthly reason for it.
It's OBVIOUS that Mr. Duncan should have been sent to one of the four specialized hospitals with the infrastructure, equipment and experienced staff to deal with it just as every American infected in Africa was sent to. And because of the CDC fucking up believing that any hospital could safely care for a BSL-4 infected patient two and possibly more health care workers are/may be infected. That is a CDC fuck up which have been numerous.
When the CDC - THE resource in this country for all things concerning infectious disease - tells you to only self-monitor and to otherwise live your life as normal including going to work and servicing other patients, that's what you do. And all while the CDC have quarantined other people with far less dangerous exposure to Ebola because the CDC relied for too heavily on the their own inadequate PPE protocol.
Pretending the CDC has been perfect is flat out ridiculous especially at this point. Doing it for absurd political reasons is disgusting.
Done with you.
