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?

There is no wheel to reinvent. They keep saying how hard it is to catch Ebola. Why not just sanitize and dispose of as normal medical waste? Why send them all the way to Detrick?

There is no wheel to reinvent. They keep saying how hard it is to catch Ebola. Why not just sanitize and dispose of as normal medical waste? Why send them all the way to Detrick?

The article talked about the waste from a patient at the NIH. Depending on traffic, that's about 40 minutes away from Fort Detrick. It's probably cheaper than using a civilian company, and the people at Detrick are used to dealing with this stuff. This article is really making mountains out of molehills.
