Now that Thomas Eric Duncan is the first person to die of Ebola in the U.S., the delicate question arises of how to safely dispose of his remains.
Handling and transportation should be kept to a minimum and an autopsy should be avoided unless absolutely essential.
The body should not be washed or cleaned in any way and should be wrapped in plastic to prevent contamination. Following the removal of the body, the hospital room should be thoroughly disinfected. So long as the body is safely shrouded in plastic, any transport drivers do not need to wear protective gear.
Once the body arrives at the mortuary, the agency does not recommend embalming. The shrouded body should be placed directly into a hermetically sealed casket by trained mortuary personnel wearing head-to-toe protective gear. The remains should then be immediately buried or cremated.

Burn the fugger
Most definitely burn the body. Particularly since the burial will almost certainly be TAXPAYER FUNDED as has all of his care.
Yep, if there is doubt, I’d cremate ebola victims.
Time to bring back funeral pyres.
Obviously the CDC doesn't believe in fomites
and then they wonder why so many healthcare workers die.
For the plague, they used to shove everyone back into the house and burn the whole thing. I am guessing this is not what you mean?
We better call Morgan Freeman and get his permission first?
Burn it on the lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.....
I hope cremated, burial should not be an option.
The body should not be washed or cleaned in any way

Oh the possibilities..

Cremate gives checkmate.
How would you like to be the next patient who has to occupy that hospital room? I know I wouldn’t.
Given what Obama is doing to protect us from ebola I should buy a couple of old semi tractors and use them to haul around mobile cremation units. It would be a lot safer to immediately burn them where they die instead of transporting them.
Also, when it’s patently obvious why a person died why the hell would you want to muck around cutting up a highly infectious body to prove what you already know?
Law suits to come.
The sob cost us millions of dollars and still counting. B******
