Atlanta Forward: Quality of life

AJC reporter Craig Schneider recently wrote that Georgia health officials have refused to name six hospitals that will join Emory University Hospital as the state’s primary Ebola treatment centers. They fear negative reactions from the public and vendors could slow the hospitals’ preparation. “We don’t want to slow down the process,” a Department of Public Health spokesman said. Today, a patients’ advocate responds to that decision. A law professor also examines how the Ebola scare has led to practices that illegally discriminate against local citizens thought to be exposed to the virus.
