Ha! Just a little while ago I wondered if Americans would respond to Ebola like moderns dealing with a pathogen or inhabitants of the Middle Ages dealing with Bubonic Plague. We have our answer. Hint: it doesn't involve moderns or pathogens.
I guess the thing that the family of the confirmed Ebola patient can be grateful about is that our modern health "experts" didn't nail their door shut and position a wagon outside for body removal.

Move Family From Ebola Patient's Apartment, Says Judge
Okay, a quick summary - the domestic partner of the Dallas Ebola patient has been confined to her apartment, where the patient took ill, with one child and 2 nephews in their twenties. All right, seems reasonable, right?
Until you read the entire article and discover that health officials shut them all inside with contaminated linens and no provisions for them to have sustenance - like FOOD!
Forced to stay in remain in her apartment, Louise is worried, not knowing what to do and waiting on federal health officials, Cooper said. She and her family will be quarantined for 21 days, and she's frequently taking her family members' temperatures as well as her own.
"She doesn't know how she's going to get food into the apartment. She was told she said maybe the Red Cross would come by. She's still waiting for that," Cooper said.
"Some health officials brought sandwiches last night, but she hasn't had anything today," Cooper said. "She's certainly kind of at loose ends and is obviously extremely worried."
This is your government at work people! Aside from the food issue, they are ONLY NOW, 4 days after after the patient was removed by ambulance to the hospital making any effort to dispose of highly hazardous medical waste - his linens.
Only after this poor woman contacted CNN is anyone in an official capacity doing something one would have expected they would do in the IMMEDIATE aftermath of the confirmed diagnosis.
Holy f-ing shit! This is the best the great medical minds and medical disaster containment experts can come up with?
I am beyond speechless.
