If you ever need to clean up a spill of something nasty and infectious, before you touch it, gently pour some antiseptic on it. This can be any number of things, from bleach, household cleaners, to pool acid. Don’t be in a hurry.
“The WHO recommendations for cleaning up spills of blood or body fluids suggest flooding the area with a 1:10 dilutions of 5.25% household bleach for 10 minutes for surfaces that can tolerate stronger bleach solutions (e.g., cement, metal, asphalt). It is also susceptible to alcohol based cleaners, ethanol, methanol, and isopropyl, stronger than 60% alcohol.”
If someone is sick and has diarrhea or is vomiting, keep a bottle of bleach in the bathroom, and ask them to pour a cup full in the toilet, optimally before they go. Let it steep for at least a minute before flushing. This will prevent a pathogen spray contaminating the room when they flush.
Borrowed bleach, they couldn’t buy it at the supermarket or sumfin... what kind of mickey mouse outfit is this
I stand corrected. It appears they might be Mexicans and not Blacks too.
Chlorine and gasoline would have been better. Some biology, chemistry and pyrotechnics all in one show. A great learning experience and educational moment.
hey
There is one species of migratory fruit bat in Africa that will roost in caves, and has tested positive for filoviruses. One of the reasons the bats are suspected as a reservoir species (aside from being considered a delicacy), is that the migration patterns would account for sporadic outbreaks where humans and the bats happened to come together, or where droppings had infected nonhuman primates which were killed, butchered, and eaten.
Aside from that, the contaminated droppings in cooler and damp environs would tend to allow the virus to remain viable longer, increasing the chances of human contact and infection.
Bats, pigs, and dogs, are among the animals that can have the virus but remain asymptomatic.
Fomite city.

It’s okay, the White House says it’s under control.
But the guys at the Dallas presser were asked about the power washing dudes without safety gear, he said he doesn’t think they were power washing the vomit, but he doesn’t know.
Meanwhile, every other family living at the Ivy, is still living in the hole.
Like under the bridges in Austin, Texas.
What if you flush with the lid down? Problem solved no?
will the ebola virus multiply in warm state like Texas.
My thought also being Liberia is hot. I wonder what affect rain and cold have on it?
This is what I don’t get. From what I’ve read, pouring bleach (or any disinfectant) onto infectious material doesn’t get rid of its germs. You have to remove the material, then disinfect the surface.
“It appears they might be Mexicans and not Blacks too.”
There are lots of Mexicans in Texas just doing the jobs that blacks and others won’t do. What did you expect to find in Texas? Eskimos?
Give Obama some credit. He’s brought down unemployment again by creating two more new jobs. And in Texas of all places. See everything is not oil and gas related here. /s
Now the sewer rats in Dallas will carry the ebola virus like the Vienna sewer rats carried the bubonic plague.
Not that I compare Dallas with Vienna. God forbid.
“It was named after the Ebola river which flows through the town where it first appeared”.
Gosh just ask the average mom how to handle a virus from spreading. In my family of 4 we had one virus that spread to 2 of us in the last 20 yrs because we immediately take precautions as soon as someone has a symptom. I understand Ebola is not your average virus but a little commonsense...
