They couldn’t just clean it with some bleach?
When Ebola arrives in town, it’s very expensive.
After about the fourth time this happens they’ll just spritz it with bleach. Will they burn thousands of cars and homes because somebody died in them? Not after the first couple of months.
Good thing the guy didn’t vomit in a Bugatti Vayron!
Why discard such expensive, useful medical equipment. Obama has assured us we can all get on the bus with Ebola patients no problem at all.
Stupid. Chlorine bath plus 10 minutes (overkill) of UV-C would have sterilized the equipment.
Government theater...
Send them to Washington to be cleaned. We have a CZAR that knows everything about E B O L A.
I worked in a blood lab during the time of AIDs. We had blood testing machines that would have all kinds of patients’ blood in them, including AIDS patients. We cleaned the dotters (that sucked up the sera and dotted them onto trays) out with lots of water and then alcohol. So why wouldn’t alcohol work on these machines? Or bleach?
ask Ron Klein what to do..
Hes our current token Ebola expert...
the go to guy...
Im sure he’ll say something that will include transportation by bus...
I’d cleaned them and put them in storage for six months. Ebola can only survive 6-8 days outside a host according to research.

But but but the CDC says the virus dies quickly when outside the body... Someone’s lying here...
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...
According to Internet lore, just put a couple of vitamin C tablets on the surface of the machines and problem solved....
