Ms.
McCaughey concludes her commentary by recommending: “The best Ebola strategy is
to protect our local hospitals, health-care workers and patients by relying on
the nation’s bio-containment facilities. That’s what they were built for.” Do
you agree with her recommendation?Yes, I agree that Ebola patients should
be cared for in these facilities because if you isolate the virus, it won’t
spread to others like patients in local hospitals and the doctors and nurses.
