inherent weaknesses?
Our medical system was never designed for this kind of thing, which is why one case has shut down a major big city hospital for however long.
I would think no medical system is designed to treat epidemics on this scale. However, there were very serious weaknesses in how the Dallas hospital responded to Mr. Duncan the first time he came to the ER, which probably won’t happen again. The least of which is when a person comes into the ER with a fever and says they were recently in West Africa, they won’t send him home with antibiotics.
