Perhaps some payback for the Governor’s stand in securing the border without permission from the communist party.

Anybody that’s had a loved one in the hospital for more than a few days understands the 70. New faces come thru the room door on a regular basis.

There are differing levels of hazmat suits and equipment - how does biohazard protocol and equipment differ from Level-A Hazmat?

It can be confusing:

Very basic, Hazmat deals with chemicals, suit levels are A,B,C,D, with A being the highest.

Biosafety deals with microbes, protection levels being 1,2,3,4 with 4 being the highest

So when the news is reporting on Hazmat suits, they really should be talking about biosafety protection levels.

And of course, you use protection level 4 when dealing with ebola.
