The body of Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan will be treated with extreme caution because the virus that killed him can live in bodily fluids and tissues as long as they stay wet and at room temperature.
Many deaths have been linked to the handling of bodies in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, so the U.S. Centers for Disease Control has clear guidelines for hospitals and mortuaries that might handle the remains of anyone who succumbs to Ebola.

I think they should send it to Washington DC.
A taste of Africa comes to Dallas.

immediate incineration is called for
Insineration should be the only option!
The CDC issued procedures for funeral homes a week or so ago. No autopsy’s and no embalming. The article I read didn’t go into further details.

“My idea would have been to drop him on ISIS during one of our bombing runs.”
Nice touch. I’m on board with that.
Hopefully fire and lots of it.
Open casket with a five hour funeral. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson officiating?

Throw my brain in a hurricane

The White House just announced that Mr. Duncan’s body will be cut up into small pieces and those will be mailed to everyone who identifies as a Republican or Conservative.
Ouch.
