Yet, our CDC claims any ol’ podunk hospital can handle Ebola. Never mind those hospitals don’t have Level 4 facilities, equipment and trained personnel. If this spreads, there will be US healthcare workers who will walk off the job and refuse to treat suspected cases. The reason we have to send troops and doctors to Liberia is because their hcw have quit. IIRC, a month ago there were only like 50 Liberian doctors still working. And today they were going to go on strike though that may be smoothed over.

BSL designations only apply to research laboratories. There is no equivalent grading system for health care facilities.
