Nurses in 85% of hospitals in the U.S. are not trained to deal with Ebola

Source of Title Statement: CNN on TV

What this means in real terms is if they have contact with someone with Ebola, they likely would be infected before they found out that the person had Ebola through tests.

This is because the early symptoms of Ebola also mimic Malaria and flu symptoms. So, a nurse doesn't know if this person has Ebola or whether they have Malaria or flu at any age.

So, this is making most nurses fearful now as they don't know when treating a patient that comes into the hospital, clinic or doctor's office has the flu, malaria, ebola or what?

I think likely many nurses who can afford not to work are going to quit their jobs nationwide during this time in order not to die from Ebola from treating a child, woman, or man that they don't know has Ebola when they come in. This is only logical and would make sense so their whole family doesn't die from Ebola if they get infected. Because it isn't just the nurse that could die, it could be anyone that lives with them or touches them at any time.

The world is changing and in regard to Ebola not in a good way.
