The BBC is kind: Ebola: Hospital mistakes blamed for US transmission. The head of the Centers for Disease Control characterizes the new case at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital as “a breach in protocol”. It was a potentially deadly fv<k up by the same people who sent Thomas Eric Duncan home with some meds when he showed up at their emergency room with flu-like symptoms and told them he had been in Liberia. They lied about his telling them about Liberia, and now it would appear they didn’t properly train their people to keep themselves safe.
They did remember to send the decontaminating team to their worker’s apartment immediately, which is progress, but they don’t seem to be able to do something as simple as maintaining the safely of the personnel who deal with Ebola patients.
