    LOL.

    Can the CDC just go ahead and make a blanket statement. All future ebola cases go to specialize centers.

    Why not? There are 4 hospitals in the country that specifically are trained and designed to handle ebola cases. Why *wouldn't* you move patients to those places?

    I think Duncan caught the CDC flatfooted, for some reason. They may have assumed it would be easier for a normal hospital to contain than it actually is.

    Good question on why it took so long to move Pham. Maybe she's getting a bit sicker and starting to generate a lot of biowaste. :( That's got to be the hardest part.

    I actually had a nightmare about ebola patients last night. I need to step away from this story, since I can't do anything to help anyway. The dream was about dealing with all the virus-loaded barf and poo. God bless these patients. :(

    Excellent questions, and in hindsight, probably a huge mistake.

    And now Dallas county is considering a declaration of "local state of disaster". What will that mean to everyone in the city? I'm scared for everyone.

    It gives the city authority to restrict travel and the like - it's to help legally prevent the self-quarantine people from using buses, airplanes, etc.

    I understand that most sanitizers are not effective against ebola. Sanitizers kill bacteria, not viruses. I've read you need to use soap and water, or else chlorine or 60%+ alcohol, or a sanitizer specifically formulated for viruses.
