What Will Happen To Ebola Patient Thomas Eric Duncan's Body?
NBC News ^ | October 8, 2014

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

The body of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan will be treated with extreme caution because the virus that killed him can live in bodily fluids and tissues as long as they stay wet and at room temperature.

Many deaths have been linked to the handling of bodies in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, so the U.S. Centers for Disease Control has clear guidelines for hospitals and mortuaries that might handle the remains of anyone who succumbs to Ebola.

At the Dallas hospital where Duncan died on Wednesday morning, anyone who had contact with the body must wear personal protective equipment...

My idea would have been to drop him on ISIS during one of our bombing runs.

Bad idea, the FBI announced that US citizens fighting for ISIS can return to the US if they have a valid passport.

A previous article about advice to funeral homes is “don’t embalm”.

And part of why the disease has spread so around Africa is that they want their dead buried at home (and are trafficked there in taxis, trucks, etc. after passing).

Send him back, C.O.D.

Barring that, incinerate the body. Vincent Price knew what to do in The Last Man On Earth.

Doesn’t the hospital have a medical waste incineration unit there? Pop him in!

Send his body to the White House, prop him up in the West Wing, even a dead body would do a better job than Obama

Based on the way Obama and his CDC have been handling Ebola so far, the body will most likely be 'aerosolized' and sprayed over the city of Dallas by a crop duster.

John Prine.

Thanks for the flashback. Things were so much simpler back in the 80's.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

King Obola should be seen on live TV personally preparing the body for burial just to show that the rest of us have nothing to fear from the infected foreigners that he is deliberately bringing into this country.
