A nurses union complained about national Ebola preparedness. Now, if future Ebola cases arrive, the CDC will send a rapid response team to the affected hospital. It’s part of CDC Director Tom Frieden’s two-part apology to nurses in Dallas. Frieden says he did not mean to insult them directly when he said a protocol was breached. Frieden says if a CDC rapid response team had been on site immediately, they might have prevented the Ebola infection from spreading to other nurses in the hospital. A recent Wall Street Journal survey asked over 3 thousand nurses if they were ready to handle Ebola. 3 in 4 said no.
