I figured that out long ago. Full coverage PPE is required when in the same room as an Ebola victim - there must be no exposed skin, and all breaks in coverage must be sealed by duct tape. Use multiple skin barriers when possible - nitrile gloves inside heavier latex gloves, tyvek booties inside rubber boots, hood over the upper part of the tyvek suit covering the top of the zipper, aprons extending up under the hood and down below the bottom of the suit zipper, and again all breaks in coverage sealed by duct tape. Plus an N100 mask capable of filtering organics, and goggles over your eyes inside the hood.

Decontaminate by standing in a large pan with about a half inch of pure bleach in it while being sprayed ALL OVER with the usual 1% bleach solution, but not hard enough so the spray drops beyond the pan. The idea is for the spray bleach solution to just run off straight down into the pure bleach solution where the Ebola in the runoff will be killed. And any Ebola on the bottom of the boot soles will be killed right away by standing in the pure bleach solution before the spray starts.

And the person spraying you must be similarly suited up, and then go through the same decontamination process too only this time you do the spraying.

There is a complicated, step-by-step, process for removing the PPE which must be followed exactly each time. The nitrile gloves come off last.

I've planned on using a back-yard shed (it has an overhead light and one double electric outlight) as a family/neighborhood Ebola Treatment unit. We'd line it with multiplayer layers of plastic sheeting (with the intent of removing if someone dies). We'll have to dig multiple plastic-sheeting lined trenches around it for waste disposal, as latrines and, if necessary, graves.

But I doubt things will get that far, and especially not in my area. The first generation of Ebola vaccines can be produced so soon, and in large numbers so fast, that significant outbreaks in the US can be snuffed out.

Areas with backward culture, lousy transportation infrastructure, and endemic violence are very at risk, and more so the closer they are to West Africa. I expect Boko Haram and Islamic extremists in sub-Saharan West Africa will be self-solving problems.

Things are looking better for most of Nigeria, though. They have adequate transportation infrastructure, sufficient locally available electric power to support refrigerated vaccines, and an actually educated population with local elites capable of holding things together once the first generation of Ebola vaccines get there.

And any Ebola on the bottom of the boot soles will be killed right away by standing in the pure bleach solution before the spray starts.

In the late '70s, I traveled between rather primitive islands in the southern Philippines. It was not unusual to have to step into pans of disinfectant on the runways as we approached our planes.

Clearly the CDC cannot figure out such advanced technology.
