Americans worried about an Ebola outbreak in the U.S. need to stay calm, lest they risk more errors like the ones made at the Texas hospital that treated a patient who died from the disease, a former White House health adviser said Monday.
鈥淧anic is something we can鈥檛 afford in this, because that also can lead to a lot of mistakes of people, and we do have to keep people more rational about this,鈥?said Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, chairman of the University of Pennsylvania鈥檚 Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy. 鈥淲e鈥檝e had two cases in this country. We have not had a big outbreak, and we need to be very clear about that.鈥?

Crews disinfecting the sidewalk of the infected nurse鈥檚 home: Emanuel stressed he is not a decontamination expert, but that 鈥渢he sidewalk does not seem to be the right place鈥?to emphasize. "A lot of that is about fears. Checking temperatures when people come into the country is probably not going to be our best use, but it does reassure people.鈥漈he hospitals being used to treat patients: 鈥淚t鈥檚 not the facility, it鈥檚 the training 鈥?and it鈥檚 not anything special about the rooms.鈥?br>The training health care workers must receive before working with patients: 鈥淚t鈥檚 really about how the health care workers gown, de-gown. It鈥檚 about the standard processes of care. 鈥?br>On whether there is a need to set up regional facilities to handle cases: 鈥淕iven the fact that we鈥檙e not going to have a big outbreak here, that these are going to be isolated cases, the idea of specializing in a few places is right."
