Well That was a pile. He never did mention how long the virus would stay viable on surfaces. Just the contamination of an ER waiting room could potential contaminate so many. Yes health personnel should wear masks for any coughing patients but since its cost prohibited most facilities dont provide mask for routine screening. Hospitals budget to keep costs low and profits high. Stocking and keeping safety gear available was a nightmare just during the flu season.Their answer was to force staff to take the flu shot and work mostly unprotected. I wonder how they will handle the Ebola crisis? His juggling of the numbers makes me Leary with his 2 infected to 1 patient ratio. Technically 2 nurses were infected to one unknown patient. His 1 and 6 doesnt count because the others were known to be infected so the staff was already aware and took proper precautions. Downplaying the danger didnt work in Africa . I wonder how it will work here?
