Ebola TX: What protocols?

This is an intense of account of what happened with the Ebola patient in Texas.  Of course, the nurses have to be anonymous or they will be fired for telling the truth.

Dallas nurses describe Ebola hospital care: 'There was no protocol' - LA Times

How in the world did they allow him to sit with other patients for several hours before putting him in isolation?

'Nurses are not protected, they're not prepared to handle Ebola': Angry nurses union says NO U.S. hospital can cope - and claim hazardous waste was piled to CEILING in Thomas Eric Duncan's wards - Daily Mail

I don't doubt that these stories are true from the nurses.

As far as we know, only five Ebola patients have been treated in the United States.  There will continue to be a learning curve... and that learning curve could infect other people.
