The question hangs heavy on authorities and hospital administrators across North America as some type of failure in protection has resulted in not one but two nurses falling ill with Ebola. They both work at Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. They are Nina Pham, 26, (left) and Amber Vinson, 29 (right). In Canada, the Canadian Fcderation of Nurses Unions has written to the federal health minister citing five cases where hospitals were not ready to deal with a number of Ebola false alarms. The details seem sketchy and presumably have come forward from union members. At one unnamed hospital, there was no plan in place, the CFNU said. Dr. Eric Hoskins, Ontario’s Health minister, insists the province is ready to deal with any outbreak. This BBC video describes the process of suiting up to stay safe from the virus. Also CTV.
