Ezekiel Emanuel: There Should Be Cameras when Ebola Workers Take Their Gear off

Seemingly contradicting President Obama -- who assured Americans they couldn't catch Ebola if sharing a bus with an afflicted passenger -- this morning Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the oft-described ObamaCare architect, called the virus "very, very contagious."

Dr. Emanuel even suggested monitoring health-care workers to ensure they followed CDC protocols. 

“It’s very worrisome as Tom Frieden said yesterday, the head of the CDC. It probably, although not for sure, is in taking of the protective gear. I certainly remember when we started taking off some of the protective gear around HIV and AIDS, there was a lot of mistakes. It does require being very vigilant and careful and this is very contagious and that’s a big problem. It’s not contagious  aerosolized but by touching is obviously very very contagious. And we’ll have to look at all the processes. 

"I think it might not be a stupid idea to have cameras when people are taking the gear off to make sure — and to look more importantly, where are the common mistakes and try to redesign the standards of care to avoid those common things. I would also say in this patient, they had incubated the patient on a respirator and those kinds of activities do create a lot of fluid and you have to worry about if that’s a wise thing in an Ebola patient once you have organ failure are you really going to get patient back or are you just risking a lot more health care workers.”
