Quote:Actually, it sounds like the for-profit Texas hospital this went down at, which I understand is currently a ghost town, simply did the bare minimum when it comes to requirements.


From the article:


'Nurses have voiced concern that they have never cared for Ebola patients before and feel unprepared and underequipped. "If hospital administrators had to take care of Ebola patients, they would have the gold standard and hazmat suits," said RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of National Nurses United, a union with 185,000 members'


It seems to me that government regulations have been ramped up due to a lack of self-governing at the hospital by its administrators--in other words, nothing to do with not knowing how it's transmitted.
