Seeing that nurse take off her gown in the open doorway - sort of ripping it off, I wonder how far the virus and dust on her gown went into the hall and the equipment in the hallway?

I have a design figured out if I have to care for a sick person in our house, with a “decon” area between the sick person and the rest of the house. (Using plastic sheeting).

Good eye. I remember my NBC training for decom, we had to go through decom stations. Maybe the Hospitals need to practice Military NBC procedures. You suit up before going into the zone, then go through decom stations leaving the zone.

For you house make sure you do not use central air and heat. The unit could pull stuff in on the return then sent it to other parts of the house.

I have a camper we plan on for the sick, I will rope it off with caution tape, and only have one person to attend to the sick person. A burn barrel at the location for burning gloves and other waist.

Sounds similar to what bgill has in mind/designed.
