I gotta say that this one of the dumber threads I've seen here. This is ONE person who was not contagious at the time, the hospital has a special hazardous waste permit to deal specifically with anything leaving, and people are worried that they are just going to "catch" this? Let's fence off all of Texas and designate it a Leper colony. How's that?
There are so many incurable diseases around it's not funny, and this is curable if caught as has been proven several times already. So what's the paranoia about ?
