The U.S. Health System Vs. Ebola (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

If Ebola comes here, to the United States, it will be stopped in its tracks, we were told. It will be toast. But this week, we’ve got Ebola apparently, potentially, tracked all over the place. A dead patient in Dallas. Not one but two nurses who cared for him, infected. Sick. One, flying commercial, with CDC sign-off, to Cleveland. Those planes, hauling five more flights full of people around before they were grounded. Schools now closed in Ohio where a staffer flew on that plane. Stopped in its tracks? This hour On Point: the real state of American readiness. Getting real about Ebola in the USA. / Tom Ashbrook
