Ebola Article Answers

1. The author, Betsy, says that hospitals not being able to handle an Ebola patient and doctors and nurses not properly protecting themselves from contracting the virus is the problem

2. She says that moving Ebola patients to bio-containment centers instead of trying to rapidly equip hospitals to handle and treat Ebola without it infecting others may be the best solution.

3. Infection expert, Sean Kaufman, called the CDC guidelines "absolutely irresponsible and dead wrong."


4. Burgess points out that people like Thomas Frieden are underestimating how potent this virus is. He states that Frieden claimed any hospital could handle Ebola and in a perfect example of irony later died from Ebola when he visited Texas Health Presbyterian where he was infected.


5. I totally agree with her statements. There is absolutely no point in trying to establish make shift bio-containment centers when there are multiple at the ready for situations exactly lile this. Not only does it wreck the hospitals funds it allows the virus to spread due to lack of education and procedures.
