It is pretty funny. On any given day ERs have to hold patients for hours and sometimes a day or two waiting for an ICU bed to become available. The number critical care beds for negative pressure strict isolation is negligible.
A couple hundred cases in any one city would overwhelm the resources in a couple of states.

My husband was placed in the hospital for West Nile virus. There were so many people and different kind of doctors who took care of him. Every doctor wanted to come in to look him over because WN was fairly rare. Sure hope these doctors aren't too curious about Ebola.
