This is a very dangerous situation and one that no one is prepared for. I said several months ago that we needed to shut some doors.
If a black man with a foreign accent appeared in the emergency room in Texas, this would have been a good time to jump to conclusions or profile or ask some questions given the recent epidemic in Africa..

Definitely the Dallas hospital is taking some blame in this case. If a large hospital in one of the largest cities in the country can't handle these cases, how would smaller hospitals in smaller cities react? It is very scary.
The best advice is stay off of airplanes, trains, cruise ships, or anywhere where large crowds gather, and don't use public restrooms.
