That’s a nightmare situation. If their clothing got contaminated from touching him, who washed it? Their wives, the cleaning service, the laundry service? Inquiring minds...
BTW, I remember reading on one of the Nigerian news sites that the janitor at Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos where Patrick Sawyer crashed out later died from ebola. IIRC his wife was under quarantine as well, never did hear if she succumbed or was just being watched.
We are provided a washer and dryer for our laundry and -most- people use it. Others wear it home.
Did he mention to the crew that he might be infected? Or was it like every other shift when we take someone with the flu to the hospital, so it was treated like no big deal?
