INDIANAPOLIS - Hospitals, emergency medical technicians, and other first responders across the country are upgrading their protective gear for the possibility of dealing with Ebola patients. A Fishers company that provides protective gear is seeing a huge spike in orders.
New coveralls will provide emergency medical workers even more protection than existing ones. Open seams in the fabric will be sealed shut, reducing the possibility of first responders being infected by a patient's bodily fluids.

Baumgartner says orders are up a thousand percent from a few weeks ago. The Fishers company specializes in hazardous waste and infection control products.
"This is probably 80 percent of our sales right now and other similar suit kits," said Baumgartner.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
All the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on the CDC and the hospitals have to buy their own protected suits?!
This democratic gravy train is getting ridiculous.
The Houston Fire Department just got some suits today. Not very many as I understand. And the head of the union said they haven’t been trained how to use them. He said they were going to be sent a video. This is Houston, Texas! That’s bad!
