How is it that all the infectious disease super-specialists in the U.S. don't seem to know (or pretend not to know) as much as this geriatric old GP. What I had to say a couple of weeks ago still holds. It is probably not too late - yet.
1. Embargo on all flights from infected areas.
2. In-service training so all staff will know what to do and who to contact when a possible case is being considered.
3. Intensive training and dress rehearsals for all staff in close contact.
4. Sufficient easily available hazmat equipment for all who might need it
5. A clearly designated chain of command, military style, that makes it clear.
Why aren't they taking these simple precautions?
It is hard to understand how these measures haven't been instituted.when the consequences, though unlikely, could be disastrous.
Mainly events that occur in and around the medical world. Some you need to know about and some you don't. All to either inform or amuse you.
