Ebola Editorial Questions & Answers

1. What does Betsy McCaughey identify as a problem in her commentary?
McCaughey sates a safer strategy would be to expand capacity at the nations four bio-containment hospitals to help Ebola victims be cured without the staff members catching onto the virus.

2. What solutions does she offer?
A solution she offers is for Ebola patients to be sent to bio-containment centers in Georgia, Maryland, Montana, and Nebraska. She offers this idea because two nurses sent to two of these bio-containment centers have been treated for the virus and have survived.

3. How does infection expert Sean Kaufman view the CDC’s guidelines for protective gear in treating Ebola patients?
He views it as something negative, irresponsible, and dead wrong.

4.  What point did Rep. Michael Burgess make about CDC head Thomas Frieden?
His point was to state how doctors and nurses (from the CDC) should wear a full gear on to cover every possible part of their body while treating an Ebola victim. 

5. a) I do agree with this recommendation because it's better to keep our hospitals sanitized and the people in good health conditions because then what if they get the virus and it acts as a domino effect on the community?
