I read that a Canadian physician returned to Canada and quarantined himself (showing no symptoms, just being safe). Assuming it’s not transmissible airborne, which is now known to be a bad assumption, he would be safe as long as he quarantines himself.
The wife of the doctor who is being brought back already came back several days ago, but allegedly wasn’t exposed.
First responders allegedly treat everyone as though they have AIDs, so bloodborne transmission protocol should protect them more or less, though the average Joe is very likely to be infected.
Now that the Canadians have seen it transmitted in water droplets - which could be a good flu-ey sneeze - it is indeed irresponsible in the extreme.
This is not going to be pretty, any way it plays out. Scary stuff and even with the best of intentions, people don’t follow protocol - if you haven’t already, read The Hot Zone.
Oh yeah. I read The Hot Zone.
I thought my trust of the CDC couldn’t get much lower. But amazingly it did!
