Nope, those are for sterilizing equipment like surgical tools and such.

‘Waste materials’ are burned on the premises in the MSF hospitals. Probably violating any number of US regulations to do so including smoke and use of fuels to do that. In a pinch I’m sure that sort of thing would happen here too, possibly even defiantly.

... along with fabric furniture and drapes and carpeting...

EPA would have a total meltdown.

Are our morgues and morticians and undertakers ready?

Note the quote from our “favorite” Caribbean Medical School graduate in this excerpt:

Government officials also continue to stress that there’s little chance of a mass Ebola outbreak in the United States, a point that the NIH’s Anthony Fauci reiterated to Congress last week. And even if a few Ebola patients arrive in the U.S., the nation’s hospitals would be well-equipped to handle them.

“Controlling Ebola is not a very sophisticated task,” Dr. Amesh Adalja, a biosecurity specialist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, told The Hill last week. “Ebola outbreaks are stopped in their tracks when basic public health measures are in place … and the United States would not be a hospitable environment for something that spreads exclusively through blood and body fluids.”

#2431 is my original question. I was referring to someone coming up with a quick solution to needing sterilization of liquid and solid wastes from ebola patients BEFORE releasing to the sewers.
