Yep, thats how its done...And you decontaminate the outer equipment before you begin to remove it. The equipment is hot, I dont think our military will be protected enough and AFRICOM (US MIL IN AFRICA) admitted military personnel WILL have contact with the Ebola virus. I see different photos of Ebola workers in Africa and half of them dont even come close to having the proper gear for dealing with a pathogen like Ebola.Its always been a problem with any gear that it is hard to work in it, especially things that require fine hand movements and the heat that your body cant get rid of due to suits that are liquid tight. One photo I seen a thin paper mask, a sheet of plastic taped to the hood and a pair of reused surgical gloves. If youve ever worked with gloves like these you understand that they are fragile. What a person not handling patients, and what a person handling patients is different. A crew to clean up would have different gear than a nurse. Just think the HIPPA laws here could prevent you from knowing the person in the room next to you is a pus filled Ebola spreader ready to pop like condom that has been in a wallet since 1978...We really are in a mess. Smith also points out that his cleanup workers wore three layers of gloves to protect themselves while working but also to safely undress after the work was done. “That way, you can undress in layers, keeping your hands protected as you remove layers of possibly contaminated clothing,” he says.
