Decent paper. Consistent with Metcalf & Eddy.

IMHO, he disinfection of the filovirus will focus on the 70nm x 760nm filtration or its chemical destruction/incineration.

Source control is simplest to protect existing infrastructure, but the most costly, ...but would have to rely on economies of scale for efficient implementation.

Probably need a water trap or plumbing fixture component able to filter/disinfect the wastewater stream.
Such a system would be very costly to implement, but would make wastewater treatment at the centralized source much more efficient,...perhaps too efficient, i.e. not enough food for the biologicals to feed.

It might be better addressed as an Ezekiel 7/8 problem and let God handle it.

That is the problem. Even assuming all hospitals practice protocols, we are left with the issue of home care. A mild outbreak would make that a certainty.

I remember a great deal of rodent infestation while working in Chicago. It seems that a continuing reservoir source may be created in a mild outbreak. I don't see much difference between rats and bats. JMHO. There is just no way municipalities and cities could mobilize or afford to implement source control for homes, apartments or public buildings. You got me thinking.

Ebola Virus Epidemiology

Yes Ezekiel 7/8, however many innocents will be taken along with those who promote the pestilence.

Like I said, You got me thinking from flush to clarifier. I hadn't considered that issue of solid waste in the system.
