Ebola editorial.

1) the problem that Betsy identifies is that the average hospital cannot in anyway handle the Ebola virus.

2) she proposes that rather than trying to get other hospitals "prepared" for it that we just expand the four bio-containment hospitals.

3)Infection expert Sean Kaufman's view the CDC’s guidelines for protective gear in treating Ebola patients is that they're "absolutely irresponsible and dead wrong"

4)  Rep. Michael Burgess held up a pic of CDC chief Frieden in Africa wearing a protective suit that covered him completely. Burgess compared it to the "sluttier" guideline that the CDC has for its nurses and doctors.

5) after reading the commentary I'd like to say that I agree. What's the point of putting entire hospitals in danger when you can just take patients to specialized facilities where they're at less risk of infecting a ton of people. 
B) mother agrees
