He was helping in a professional decontaminatiom As per standards |
and he followed those standards 100%? you know that because you were there? |
The solution was 50/50. That should have killed the virus. |
I am reporting the details as hes stated them while you are speculating. |
and he didn't miss one little spot? maybe it got on his clothes that he touched later when his guard was down? no one can say that he didn't make an error/oversight along the way. what about the Spanish nurse - she probably made an error too. |
EVEN HIM "of course I followed all protocols..." |
| The Spanish nurse first went to another hospital where she was cared for. No one took any Ebola precautions there. |
What are you talking about? I'm not speculating about anything. I'm saying he doesn't know and we don't know. There is no way for *anyone* to know conclusively where he picked it up. |

I am not speculating when I point out that it is impossible for Ebola to survive after being soaked with a 50/50 bleach mixture.
Biohazard cleanup protocol is 10% bleach/90% water. Ebola is an enveloped virus, which is the least resistant to the chemicals used to clean up biohazard spills. Again, it is impossible for Ebola to have survived if it was done properly. |
So obviously it wasn't done properly. |
| It looks like a second nurse who treated the missionary now has diarrhea and a fever. |
| The first nurse who was infected said that she remembered touching her face with her protective glove after leaving the quarantine area. It sounds like the Spanish hospital workers were not wearing the kinds of hazmat suits that I have been seeing on the news. I feel bad for all of the healthcare workers. |
| I would guess that the journalist and the Spanish nurse followed protocols pretty well, but some little slip up infected them. We're generally not aware of how often we touch our faces, and that could have been the problem in both cases. |
| Now it appears a doctor who treated the first nurse has symptoms. |
She would have had to touch a mucous membrane |
