    Well, isn't this nice!! Dallas hospital had the FilmArray product that the .mil uses to quickly diagnose Ebola, but they weren't allowed to use it!

    Incredibly, it was present at Dallas Presbyterian Hospital when Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan walked through the door, complaining of fever and he had just come from Liberia. Duncan was sent home, but even still,FDA guidelines prohibited the hospital from using the machine to screen for Ebola.

    I had seen a short article on that too but didn't have another source to collaborate it. Thanks for the link. Can't believe the hospital couldn't use the equipment they had on hand.

    And I remember this blog post from July. The DOD was issuing rapid detection kits as early as April. This link contains source information.

    I inquired about the 4 in tx because a family member received an e-m, telling them 4 people were quarantined in her neighborhood. OOPS. Wonder if the pizza delivery guy received a good tip.
