The hospital completely ignored all CDC advisories and guidelines and failed to train staff and did the opposite of what they were supposed to do pretty much from Day One.

This private hospital is a reeking mass of clusterfucks piled high and deep. Deregulation of medical care run amok.
Every last one of the 70 people involved in Duncan's care "broke protocol" because there WAS no protocol. It was a complete free-for-all.
Frieden was being VERY charitable when he said what he did. And now I know why he sounded scared to me in one of the early press conferences. He already suspected the hospital was screwing up royally and innocent people would pay with their lives.
If they violated sanitary procedures as badly as it sounds like they did based on the nurses' statements to the union, that hospital needs to be taken over by the feds immediately, shut down, evacuated, all contents burned, and the place disinfected with flame throwers.
