Much of what he says is true. The problem is, human error is what's caused a lot of the problems there in Dallas. Properly protected, you can treat Ebola. The problem is that there were obvious failures in Dallas. Really, a comedy of errors when you really look at it (and no one is laughing).
From the hospital not being prepared to identify and isolate an Ebola patient to nurses not really being trained to gear up properly to letting those treating the patient walk away with no controls except self monitoring. Though it's doubtful it spread to anyone on the airplanes...it easily could have. They are not looking into the first plane the nurse said just to be safe....even though "they" said there was no possibility of it spreading on the second plane she took because "they" say she wasn't exhibiting symptoms.
For me, this is less about panic at this time...than how pitiful our response to this has been from the start. That's what is scary is that this scenario has been out there for many years, hospitals were supposed to be trained...yet obviously they weren't. What other errors are we going to see? That's what scares me.
I did buy some MRE's (really more for general disaster preparedness), and will be putting an emergency kit together not just for Ebola, but for floods, tornados and hurricanes. Essentially, I'm getting ready for the Zombie Apocalypse (my euphemism for any huge emergency in which you'd need to survive for 2-4 weeks without outside assistance.
I think I'm also going to go buy/build one of these!!
