This is the first-ever case of this strain of the Ebola virus confirmed in the United States. As a former combat medic in the U.S. Army, I was trained to quarantine the area and prepare for incoming casualties. Do you think that our civilian hospitals are equipped to handle such an undertaking? <br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/health/2014/09/29/dallas-presbyterian-hospital-ebola-patient-isolation/16460629/">http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/health/2014/09/29/dallas-presbyterian-hospital-ebola-patient-isolation/16460629/</a> Wed, 01 Oct 2014 12:53:31 -0400 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-should-the-center-for-disease-control-do-in-texas <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Just this week, the CDC has confirmed that there was a case of ebola in Texas.

First of all, there's always a "patient zero" tracking... With this guy being sent home there's an entire new list of things that must be done for those exposed. What a mess. Other than that...I'm not a doctor so I'm only vaguely aware what must be done now.
