bgill:" Most can’t afford that level of deconatamination supplies, have the means for a decontamination room, a disposal area,
or have the strict medical training for proper decontamination.
Even the trained personnel in Africa have messed that last one up."

I agree , that is why I made the suggestions in post #9 , and post #28
Sometimes you've got to improvise , educate ,and overcome\, as if your life depends on it .
No decontamination room : use metal tub with imrovised shower curtain with garden waterer overhead to decontaminate in vthe garage.

You know that the woman who contracted Ebola (now being treated in the US), never had any direct patient contact , right ?
Her job was aa a decontamination assistant - but got Ebola ,anyway .

Ever seen photos of the decontamination of doctors in that hot, humid climate in temporary tents.
There are several issues evident in those photos.. The Side walls were not secured .
Breeze under the side of the tent for ventilation ( airborne ?)
The DeCON Tent was in close proximity to the patients for ease of the doctors.
Doctors wearing street clothes closer to the front door, after being DeCON mixed in the same room as those in DeCon process. (cross contamination)
Use of air pressurized sprayer with bleach solution (splashback , possible atomized droplets viri made airborne)?
After her shift was over , was she herself DeContaminted ?
Were all medical protocals followed thuroughly , or did they cut corners given the over-worked conditions, the heat and humidity,shortage of trained medical staff ?
Medical staff contract diseases when they don't follow established medical protocols.

All that we can do, if faced with this situation , is to do the best we can, with what we have , and with what we can improvise .
Since there is no immediate crisis, the least we can do is to 'Prepare' now ; even the Director of the CDC says it is "only a matter of time before it arrives."
Prepare now for that possibility by using your intellect , rather than your emotions running wild .
