Are We Safe When Treating Ebola?

The recent treatment of two Ebola patients at Emory University Hospital is exposing some holes in the safety net meant to keep the disease from spreading. 

The Healthcare Coalition for Emergency Preparedness says people at Emory had to run to Home Depot and buy sealed trash cans to store Ebola-tainted items in when they realized there are conflicting regulations about how to transport and destroy medical waste.

The Coalition says the situation exposes a patchwork system of competing regulations which could lead to mistakes.
