I'll tell you what is not "kosher" What Health Care worker at a local hospital wants to sign up for this: No restaurants, grocery stores, movie theaters or other places where members of the public congregate. No travel by airplane, ship, long-distance bus, train or other modes of commercial transportation. Such are the restrictions that dozens of health care workers who treated the Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan are being asked to follow for the 21-day maximum incubation period of the virus. I say treat all Ebola patients at one of the 4 biohazard level facilities as staff them with well compensated staff who are aware of all of the restrictions that are placed on them. Also do everything possible to prevent any more incoming Ebola patients from just showing up in our country.

"also includes State agencies" Texas health is broken. Turned down Obamacare, most uninsured state in the country. No malpractice threat to keep hospitals honest. Prolly poor inspections, given their laxity in other areas, like explosive industries next to schools. Texas... first in # of uninsured. I like these headlines. Hello, presidential candidate Perry. State With Highest Uninsured Rate Is The First To Find Ebola In Its Borders "Duncan’s case and probably now this new case are bringing Texas’ malpractice laws to light. The state has among the strictest malpractice laws, limiting damages to $250,000. It’s not a giant leap to think that tougher malpractice penalties might lead to more careful procedures."
