There is no wheel to reinvent. They keep saying how hard it is to catch Ebola. Why not just sanitize and dispose of as normal medical waste? Why send them all the way to Detrick?

The article talked about the waste from a patient at the NIH. Depending on traffic, that's about 40 minutes away from Fort Detrick. It's probably cheaper than using a civilian company, and the people at Detrick are used to dealing with this stuff. This article is really making mountains out of molehills.

As the NIH is home to NIAID, it seems to me they should have the facilities onsite to dispose of such waste. Why take the chance to truck it up 270 all the way to Frederick when they certainly have the facilities to dispose in Bethesda?

Something ain’t right ...
