Mr. Shraby is watching them transport that ebola patient from the ambulance to the

hospital on the t.v. machine and got so upset he called someone about it. He worked in a nuke plant and dressed and undressed workers so contamination wouldn't be spread. He told them to contact a nuke plant and get some health physics techs to control any contamination down there. They are all highly trained about hazardous materials.
He's calling the CDC next.

and maybe visit the local CBS news station website.

This deputy is at very low risk. He had NO contact with Mr. Duncan and only limited contact with the family, who so far have tested negative. He is exhibiting only one or two signs of the disease, signs it has in common with norovirus and food poisoning, but not the full set of symptoms one would expect with ebola.

His chance of catching the disease by merely being in the apartment is tiny. The family were quarantined in there for days before a hazmat team showed up to decontaminate it and they're still testing negative, meaning they're still not contagious.

the people right away. They hadn't thought of the nuke workers being highly trained in contamination containment.

because of their experience decontaminating places where people have died and been undiscovered for some time.

Contamination reduction is a known thing. What I want to see the CDC twig to is the fact that nurses caring for these people need their shoe coverings unless they want to infect the whole damned floor.

MRSA was tracked into the community on the bottom of family and caregiver shoes.
