I believe Dallas did the absolute level best it could. I am grateful they had a dry run through the day before they had a definitive diagnosis of Ebola. I am sorry for the death, if anyone could have prevented it he would be here now. I find it interesting Americans, who tend to be healthier on a global basis, are finding they can live through the viral's course.
I congratulate Dallas for being able, willing and dedicated to healing every person that comes to them in need of dire medical treatment. It is very questionable that a city anywhere else in the country could have done better.
