Oh yeah. The pic at the top of the NPR link I posted tonight says it all. The biohazard facility in Nebraska isn’t using ‘mask gloves and gown’ even with the mockup patient in a practice run. They’re using full negative pressure suits. Obviously they think the CDC is full of it as well.
Well then, those of us who are skeptical of the CDC statements are in good company!
In response to the increasing demand for specialty protective suits to be worm by healthcare workers and others being exposed to Ebola, Lakeland is increasing its manufacturing capacity for these garments and includes proprietary processes for specialized seam sealing, a far superior technology for protecting against viral hazards than non-sealed products.
"Lakeland stands ready to join the fight against the spread of Ebola," said Christopher J. Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lakeland Industries. "We understand the difficulty of getting appropriate products through a procurement system that in times of crisis favors availability over specification, and we hope our added capacity will help alleviate that problem. With the U.S. State Department alone putting out a bid for 160,000 suits, we encourage all protective apparel companies to increase their manufacturing capacity for sealed seam garments so that our industry can do its part in addressing this threat to global health.
