Chlorine

What prevents any virus from contaminating our water system? People do not get norovirus or rotavirus from their tap water.

Fuck we are not as a nation prepared. Damn it obama do something.

Probably to stop it from aerosolizing. Did you every watch those examples of toilets being flushed? All the water sprays the room with tiny droplets. I don't think hospital toilets have lids.

I think they dose it with bleach or another disinfectant.

Wouldn't that be to protect the surface of the toilet?

And is it not a possibility that Ebola actually lurks in the soil and sewage when it goes dormant?

Sewage treatment would kill the virus.

Are you in an area where you are exposed to Ebola?

Good question

Actually that's a good question. Would the septic system or sewage plants treat that effectively?

Serious question despite my title... Is the poo and pee of quarantined Ebola patients disposed of differently. If not, is there the potential to spread the virus through human waste if say a body of water gets contaminated?
