There are only 19 level 4 bio-containment beds in the whole of the United States...and four in the UK

There are only 19 level 4 bio-containment beds in the whole of the United States...and four in the UK | The Daily Sheeple:
"The UK is well set for an Ebola outbreak (sarcasm alert) 
We have TWO isolation units, but one is getting ‘redeveloped’ so it’s not available right now. 
Called High Security Infectious Diseases Units there are two in the country, each capable of taking two patients.
One is at The Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead North London, the other, the one getting a bit of a make-over, is at The Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, up in the north-east of England.
Four level 4 bio-containment beds between 69,000,000 people

In the US there are 4 units geared up to handle Ebola.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, has 3 beds.
Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, has 10 beds.
Emory Hospital, Atlanta has 3 beds and St Patricks Hospital, Missoula  has 3 beds (source)
19 level four biocontainment beds for 317,000,000 people"
