I have read several credible stories just like this on other different forums
people at the ER or even the walk in clinic and suddenly told they have to stay in the room for the next 15-20 minutes and then when they leave everything in one area is being heavily scrubbed down
and as for preparation it is so expensive to really properly prepare for even starting to handle a patient to even then transfer them that it is difficult to really be prepared
and then it takes a lot of equipment and training to do so
remember many of those that are coming back to the USA are TRAINED Drs and nurses that have been specifically going to work with the disease and are prepared for it....and yet they are still catching it
Professionals catching it, are doing so as a result of not following the simplest of routine protocols which they were trained for.
yes which is why it is even harder for a busy ER hospital to be fully prepared with all of their staff of different levels of training and education to be fully prepared
which is why when there is a potential case those hospitals are going to go full code red until all is clear or it is proven to be an issue at which time they will call the CDC hotline and talk to the person on the phone in India or the Philippines to get advice
