Hospital Staffers Call in Sick

The New York Post reports:

An extraordinary number of Bellevue Hospital staffers called in sick on Friday rather than treat the city’s first Ebola patient — and those who showed up were terrified to enter his isolation chamber, sources told The Post. 

“The nurses on the floor are miserable with a ‘why me?’ attitude, scared to death and overworked because all their co-workers called out sick,” one source said. 

“One nurse even went as far as to pretend she was having a stroke to get out of working there, but once they cleared her in the ER they sent her back up,” the source added.

Just another example that when the SHTF, first responders are not necessarily going to respond. And that even a small increase in the number of Ebola patients will paralyze the medical system.
