Of course the CDC isn't a hospital! Where the hell did you ever get that idea. I SAID they are the nation's authority on infectious disease. A HOSPITAL??? What the hell???

Here's the CDC's website where you can find out for yourself...
http://www.cdc.gov

The CDC has NOTHING to do with the rest of the world. That's the WHO. The CDC is solely the agency of the US government.

Oh, forget it. You just have no idea what you're talking about.

Done. Done. Done.

You need to listen to the whistleblower nurse TexasMommaWithAHat Oct 2014 #55

That hospital did not try, sent him home, did not require pp for 2days. notrightatall Oct 2014 #56

Knowing how hospitals work, this is mostly on the attending physician, imo. TexasMommaWithAHat Oct 2014 #59

I think more on admin. notrightatall Oct 2014 #60

Not to mention the risk to nurses, doctors and other patients. bklyncowgirl Oct 2014 #62

Which is why I DID mention staff safety in my post. kestrel91316 Oct 2014 #66
