standards here is either virolex(sp), or 101. used both extensively, Virolex in schools when I was a custodian and 101 in the casino when i was EVS manager. both just like bleach needs to be sprayed wet and let to dry, not to be wiped off.

thing is I do not think the family has a washer in there apartment, it is low rent district, they should not be stuck with the towels and bedding in that apartment. It should be evacuated. them quarantined and articles pulled and properly washed in bleach water. as a side note. food needs to be brought to them as they can not leave and is a guard at the door. This is not how we take care of our citizens, regardless of there income, race or religion, this a mother with 5 kids locked for 21 days. sorry this going to be a out rage to be dealed with. And rightly so.
Hello; As sad as it is becoming, it seems that we can now start a numbered list of errors made by the various authorities. I have been a skeptic but had hoped to be proven wrong. This is not, so far, the sort of worst case I have imagined but it is not playing out very well. I do agree that a number of people are going be reamed over some of this stuff.
They should be. The hospital is in deep caca. I've been really impressed with the amount of information that is being shared as it develops, it is the best use of a bad situation so others can see that not doing what they're supposed to REALLY does have consequences.
Speaking of which, there's a seminar today with some of our virologists and emergency management folks to help us talk to concerned friends and family, so I can ask them about what's on your mind. Rephrase it if you want since there's been new developments, and post them up before 11 am Eastern. I can't promise I'll have an answer for everything after this seminar, but I'll try my best.

So far, what I have is...
How can we be confident of containment in the U.S. in the face of misdiagnosis, improper case management, and patient non-compliance or evasion?
Many I have spoken to expect a large-scale, centralized response from a single authority such as FEMA. They feel the current response by our multiple, partnered agencies is chaotic and disorganized. Why is the current method used?
Whose responsibility is it to provide food and hazardous waste containment and disposal to quarantined households?

Hello; One thing that struck me from the report of the infected man being sent home from the ER is this. I do not have details but the impression is that there were decisions made on less than reasonable criteria. Is the ER a grunt position in the health care rankings? Perhaps as in education, the new teacher gets the roudy groups when in fact an experienced teacher would be better suited. Early identification of the potentially infected seems a key. Also why are patients with a suspected cold or flu still being given antibiotics that do not work on a viral infection?
Duncan's nephew called CDC because he was concerned Duncan had Ebola. Apparently Louise Troh traveled with Duncan from Liberia. Surely she would have known about that neighbor dying. Louise is the one that told the ER nurse that Duncan had come from Liberia. Those people quarantined in that apartment were left in there with all that contaminated material for at least five days now. The apartment is supposedly going to be disinfected today.

The hospital's computer system is responsible for Duncan being sent home the first time. And he lied and said he had not been around any person who had been ill. Talk about passing the buck. Are we really to believe that the doctors and nurses do NOT talk to each other at that hospital? Their only form of communication is via chart notes? When a red flag goes up, triage nurses should get off their duffs and notify the physician. In every ER I've had the unfortunate experience of being in, doctors and nurses sit around in the open area. (even though the doctors have an office). How hard would it have been for the nurse to talk to the doctor? I bet she talked to him about other things during her ER shift.

I would think that when you have a cold/flu, your immune system is weakened. So giving the antibiotics would help better protect you from getting other illnesses.
