EBOLA IS IN AMERICA

[Blindgreed1]

"They", CDC, should revamp their procedures regarding removal of hazmat gear. Before care giver removes hazmat gear, they should be sprayed (fogged) down/disinfected with the same chemicals used to clean up hazmat areas! Therefore, not having the chance to get infected removing the gear itself.

Now there are "132" passengers form the infected nurse's plane that were roaming around interacting with relatives friends, & even strangers.

Exponential factor, is becoming a reality, those fucker's in charge better get a grip quick, or pandemic may not be too far behind!!!

As of this past Sunday, (before continuing fuckups) I scheduled myself and my better half to be locked in a plane for 3-1/4 hours in only 7 weeks away, keeping a close eye on developments. If things keeps going they way they are, I will just say fuck-it and let the tickets go unused. (Unfortunately I do hate the fucking SNOW & ICE, but . . . )

Environmentally Mediated Infection Transmission
Environmentally associated laboratory infections can be transmitted directly
or indirectly from environmental sources (e.g., air, contaminated fomites and laboratory instruments, and aerosols) to laboratory staff. Fortunately, LAI are
rare events 1 because there are a number of requirements necessary for environmental transmission to occur. 2 Commonly referred to as the “chain of infection” they include: presence of a pathogen of sufficient virulence, relatively high concentration of the pathogen (i.e., infectious dose), and a mechanism of transmission of the pathogen from environment to the host, a correct portal of entry to a susceptible host.
To accomplish successful transmission from an environmental source, all
of these requirements for the “chain of infection” must be present. The absence of any one element will prevent transmission. Additionally, the pathogen in question must overcome environmental stresses to retain viability, virulence,
and the capability to initiate infection in the host. In the laboratory setting, high concentrations of pathogens can be common. Reduction of environmental microbial contamination by conventional cleaning procedures is often enough
to prevent environmentally mediated transmission. However, it is the general practice in laboratories to use sterilization methods to remove the potential for infection transmission.
