Let me see if I understand this correctly. They shipped the contaminated equipment from NJ, Florida, and DC to Topeka for clean up,,,, and they didn't put the Topeka employees in protective gear?
I understand the article doesn't necessarily SAY this is what happened,,, but reading between the lines, it appears that is exactly what happened. I would be happy to have someone show me a flaw in my logic.
There seems to be a pretty steep learning curve in dealing with this -- and there have been a lot of errors (CDC, Health and Human Services) that people are paying for, with their lives in some cases. It is not unusual that the first response to something out of the ordinary is not satisfactory -- so I'm going to avoid trying to parcel out blame and demand wildly that "heads roll" -- but our officials simply MUST do a better job starting right now.
