Thanks for the post. They keep telling us that it’s very hard to catch Ebola and yet they use Ft Detrick to destroy Ebola-infected waste.
Either we’re being lied to or using Detrick to destroy this stuff is akin to using a pile driver to drive a nail into a board.
Using Fort Detrick, that has the facilities because USAMRIID (at Fort Detrick) has been doing research on Ebola and other nasties for DECADES, makes a lot of sense. Why reinvent the wheel?
In reality, any hospital or research laboratory that generates potentially infectious waste has to have the waste sterilized by professional waste sterilization companies. This is because those companies, in order to be licensed to handle such waste, test their sterilizers regularly, and keep records of every sterilization cycle.
