At level 4 labs like Ft. Detrick and CDC, lab workers suit up and work with Ebola every single day. Have done for years. No infections.

That's Fort Detrick just a few miles from the Huntings, and CDC in Atlanta.

Hospital workers have spent their careers fudging it here and there with protocols, and everyday, that's ok. I'm being generous when I say fudging it. My brother is a hospital administrator, and at the drop of a hat he will go on a rant about the shockingly low rate of handwashing and how it spreads MRSA.

Not faulting these nurses at all. The hospital needs to review their protocols.

to be fair though, dealing with a virus in a dish is not the same as handling a human being oozing and moving. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 05:59 1
