ROSWELL, GA - CBS46 News has confirmed the Centers for Disease Control has issued guidelines to U.S. funeral homes on how to handle the remains of Ebola patients. If the outbreak of the potentially deadly virus is in West Africa, why are funeral homes in America being given guidelines?

It'd be interesting to see the reaction if someone wearing a full biohazard suit with SCBA were spotted walking through downtown Dallas tomorrow.
Lobby against gun ownership.
My car wouldn’t even get warm driving to FEMA headquarters. They could send someone over with a shopping cart or wheelbarrow to come get me.
Paint spray chalk lines around Ebola victims using drones.
That is the conclusion that you want to jump to?
"Absolutely not. In fact, if they weren't hearing about it, they should be a whole lot more concerned," said English.
Just a JV virus.....
Wouldn’t the ebola infested corpses be at the hospital?
Why not incinerate them there?
Exactly. If Ebola-ridden bodies are being released for conventional burial then there is just no hope for humanity. We’ll die of stupidity if Ebola doesn’t get us first.
Absolutely. if they can be incinerated, I’m not sure how they must be disposed of, but I’d think embalming, etc. would be right out.
Ebola Zombies? I wonder if this is why Homeland Security bought 3 billion rounds of hollow point bullets. No, I guess not.
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
With so many to choose from, and two years left in his term, this might not be a bad one to have as the 'crowning disaster'.
I suspect the open borders and these Isis characters might be in the running down the road.
Try re-reading the thread. I didn't jump to any conclusions. DannyTN did. I just pointed out that there was no evidence to support his conclusions. I have drawn no conclusions.
Opinions aren't facts. But if you haven't learned that by now, you probably never will.
Now, the conclusions that you've jumped to are probably correct - Patient Zero is probably a Black African. But there is no evidence that's been released by the folks running the cover up that would support it. So in the absence of facts, all we have is speculation.
Your energy went into wanting to say that this might be military, and you were adamant that there is no proof that it isn’t, your conclusion seems to be that military is the frontrunner of your choice.
You are clearly thinking military, oddly, you somehow have me concluding black African, which is bizarre, I have no opinion yet on that and haven’t said anything about it, so you concluded that out of thin air.
My mother-in-law owns a funeral home and she said they had procedures for ebola weeks ago. If I understand her correctly and the article they are not to do any embalming or autopsy’s.
I would think sending the bodies to a funeral home would be incredible stupid. They should be sent to a central location where people properly equipped and trained could bury the bodies quickly.
You apparently are having some cognitive issues. Perhaps you should see a neurologist.
Do they still have the funeral homes where they do the body prep in back and then the little chapel out in front? If so, would seem like a bad idea to take Ebola victims there.
I recall when my grandpa died and I was just a kid. Prior to the service starting I was wandering around the place and found my way in the back room. Some old guy was laid out in the table with a suit on, getting ready to be placed in a casket I suppose. I recall recognizing him from somewhere, and then figured I probably shouldn't be back there!
Hopefully that is part of the new protocal - don't let eight year-olds have access to the working areas.
“They laughed and said, maybe if you paint it look like a suit.”
Sounds like a business opportunity.
Instead of wearing the white tyveks out near landfills we would wear one-piece cotton jump suits. Toss them in the wash at the end of the day (or project). We were mainly concerned about the dusts and particles. But something like that might be okay to wear to work depending on what you do.
A friend’s dad, once he retired, wore a jumpsuit like that the rest of his life - he had all sorts of colors. I’m not sure why he chose that. Brilliant - genius type. Wife died. Perhaps he had more important things to worry about than what he would wear each day.
Not exactly a jump. More like connect the closely aligned dots.
The first of the 3000 troops just arrived in West Africa and started breaking ground on Saturday, the odds that one had already been infected and returned to the U.S. was really really low.
That’s not to say that there may be other military in West Africa that has been there all along. But the point is that there was a lot of objection to sending troops. I supported sending troops, because if we don’t put Ebola down in Africa, it is bound to spread here.
Now it has, and it can’t be blamed on the decision to send the military. Hopefully the military will use common sense and separate our troops from locals as much as possible. (And the published plan so far seems to indicate that is the case.) And I hope the quarantine the soldiers before allowing them to return to the U.S. just to be on the safe side.
But stopping it in Africa is still our best hope. And the faster the CDC abandons it’s line that it’s not airborne and gets more aggressive on stopping it’s spread, the better off we will all be.
This crisis calls for an experienced Obama Administration hand, someone they can call back; someone they can rely on to communicate to the public everything they need to know, while at the same time be able to coordinate a well reasoned, unified response.
