Honest question: how does one turn a medical facility into a top-rated Ebola treatment center overnight?
You “deem” it of course
The same way every auto manufacturer has a "Car of the Year" every year. Who does the ratings?
In Galveston? A major tourist town?
Yeah, nothing can go wrong with that decision...

In Texas this can be done very easily. There is very little red tape which is why this couldn’t be done in a blue state.
You don’t. UTSW is nowhere on the map for this. UTMB has a Level 4 Biosafety lab so they at least know how to handle these things safely but a lab is not a treatment center. It takes years to build such a facility.
Galeston Island would be easy to quarantine in an emergency.
