I don’t know if hospitals keep “the space suits” in supply. I’ve never seen one at the hospital I work at. We have the yellow gowns and gloves and masks and PAPR equipment if we have a patient with TB or waiting for the lab to rule out TB. But I’m not aware of any biohazard protective gear being in stock just in case.
Well there is no time like the present to get the space suits.
Clearly with Spain nurse, this lady, and routine infection of doctors et al in Africa the normal methods do not work.
