Hazmat Team Plastic Wraps Car Used by Ebola Patient

NBCNews ^

[Red in Blue PA]

The car that transported Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan to the hospital is wrapped in plastic on Friday as a hazmat team prepared to clean the apartment in Dallas where he had been staying. Hazmat trucks pulled up outside the apartment, five days after he was admitted to the hospital and days after relatives, including children, were confined there by state officials.

Close enough for Government work, as the old saying goes.

Retarded? Devoutly.

SMH.

"If the guy vomited and it dripped over the rocker panels below the door where it is not covered by plastic..."

Ah, high school.

How much I miss it.

[SnuffaBolshevik]

This is good for stocks.

Right?

[tennmountainman]

All it needs is a Christmas bow.
A perfect Xmas gift.

I wonder what CarFax will say about the car now...

Oh, and that ‘plastic wrap’ deserves a ‘satire’ tag.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

They will run the car up into Arkansas, and for $50 dollars get a new clean title for it showing it was only driven to church on Sundays by a little old lady!

[Veto!]

Nice job. Apparently tires are immune to ebola.

voila!
Now the cdc can just run over ebola victims to cure them.

[COBOL2Java]

Looks professional to me.

The CDC employees who did the work:

Roses are red, Ebola is too.
Look honey, I got a great car for you.

[palmer]

Looks to me like they are pressure washing one of the car mats:

i think they’ve been ordered to let this become a pandemic.<<

At least if they were from this administration and ordered to do it, they’d screw it up.

They shrink wrapped the car, but what about the maintenance man who was told to hose down the Ebola puke and the gal who was wading in the contaminated water with the sandals?

No kidding. As I posted on another thread; according to the book, Return of the Black Death by Susan Scott & Christopher Duncan, the infected person "vomits endlessly, bringing up a liquid known as the black vomit, which is actually a speckled mix of degraded tissues and fresh red arterial blood,...The vomit is loaded with virus and highly infectious."

[Nervous Tick]

This is pure theatre. Just “optics” — a knee-jerk response to the (well-deserved) criticism that the all powerful FedGov really isn’t doing squat.

If this was actually a “best practices” response to a serious infectious disease, they would have done it DAYS ago. It isn’t.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Sounds more like a college prank than risk mitigation.

[tennmountainman]

Maybe buy the car, let the court give it to the soon to be ex as part of
settlement.

[Girlene]

Could the people in charge of handling this crisis be any more incompetent?

[Nervous Tick]

>> Retarded? Devoutly.

I’m still laughing at that.

[Girlene]

Is that the same car that was “shrink-wrapped” or has it been moved?

[Aurorales]

And the hits just keep on coming....

let us see.....in true Jedi mind trick fashion...

we are all supposed to forget that yesterday Juan and Pablo were outside powerwashing the ebola infested vomit down with a k-mart power washer. All while a village idiot girl pranced around in sandals nearby. Where no one wore hazmat suits of any kind.

THIS WOULD BE ALL KINDS OF FUNNY IF IT WASN’T SO SERIOUS.
DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID? OR CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY?

[petitfour]

What about the ambulance?
