The Centers for Disease Control has now written a six page “action plan” on how to tackle Ebola, warning U.S. hospitals, “now is the time to prepare.” The action comes after the CDC warned that the Ebola outbreak in west Africa is “out of control” and it is only a matter of time before the disease is “widespread” across the United States. But cooler heads are stepping in to prevail. UTMB’s Dr. Thomas Geisbert says this is “no time to panic. Certainly we have an outbreak that is the largest in history, so it just makes sense to take precautions, so if there would be an outbreak here, it could be appropriately contained and handled," he said. Geisbert says the CDC just wants to make sure that hospital precautions and planning are “up to date” and take Ebola into account.
