CDC Warns Hospitals And Doctors: “Now Is The Time To Prepare” For Ebola (Video)
via Washington Examiner byPaul Bedard
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warning hospitals and doctors that “now is the time to prepare,” has issued a six-page Ebola “checklist” to help healthcare workers quickly determine if patients are infected.
While the CDC does not believe that there are new cases of Ebola in the United States, the assumption in the checklist is that it is only a matter of time before the virus hits home.
For example, one part reads: “Encourage healthcare personnel to use a ‘buddy system’ when caring for patients.” Another recommends a process to report cases to top officials:
Preparing is a good thing and it’s also a harbinger of things to come. I don’t know if I should feel safer or be racked with nervousness over this preparation. Stay tuned folks.. be ready.
