Are you ready for the possibility of an Ebola pandemic that will interrupt the day-to-day life of most Americans?
Because now, the CDC has issued a checklist and said that “Now is the time to prepare.”
You can read the entire document HERE.
The checklist is a directory for hospitals and medical personnel.
“Every hospital should ensure that it can detect a patient with Ebola, protect healthcare workers so they can safely care for the patient, and respond in a coordinated fashion…
While we are not aware of any domestic Ebola Virus Disease cases (other than two American citizens who were medically evacuated to the United States), now is the time to prepare, as it is possible that individuals with EVD in West Africa may travel to the United States, exhibit signs and symptoms of EVD, and present to facilities.”
The CDC’s Ebola virus page is HERE.
The World Health Organization and other agencies have gone to great lengths to avoid releasing information that might cause a panic.
You can bet that if they’ve gone so far as to issue this warning, things are about to get real.
If the government is getting ready for an outbreak, shouldn’t you get ready too?
