I would love it if one of those reporters would ask Freidan what the protocols for handling Ebola in the CDC labs areEmory did not use the hospital lab, they set up a lab in their unit.

What I meant was- how does the CDC/NIH protect their workers in their level 4 labs? Those protocols must be used to protect health care workers.They have strict protocols for decontamination, with showers, etc.
They have much lower risk of infection in a level 4 lab, because everything is contained behind a hood. If you are in the real world, such as a hospital, you have blood, diarrhea, a combative patient, all exposing the nurse to a higher risk.
Use biolevel 4 safety precautions, not the isolation protocols we use for the common flu in the hospital.
