Editorial Analysis

1) A problem that Betsy McCaughey identifies in her commentary is that four hospitals together can only treat eleven ebola patients.
2) The solution McCaughey offers is hospitals should be prepared to recognize possible ebola cases and isolate the patients immediately.
3) Sean Kaufman views the CDC's guidelines as "absolutely irresponsible and dead wrong".
4) The point that Michael Burgess made about CDC head Thomas Frieden was that wearing a head to toe suit is no help in protection from ebola because as soon as you remove the suit the vomit and other bodily fluids are on the suit. So when you remove the suit you become exposed to the illness.
5) a. I agree with her commentary because it is true. What is the purpose of having these facilities if they are not going to be used. 
b. My mom also agrees with her statements.
