Anybody catch Anderson Cooper talking to the lady friend that lived with the ebola man. Yes, I think we should be concerned if what she's saying is true about the CDC. The waste from the man still in the apt....people in the apt getting no real answers or help how to deal with this...

Head for Yamantau! (And seriously, of all the mountains they could build Russias NORAD/Raven Rock under, they choose one called 'Bad' or 'Evil' Mountain :har: :rock:)

That would probably be the best bet, or bleach, Ebola is killed pretty easily so it's not too difficult.

"The Ebola virus can be eliminated with heat (heating for 30 to 60 minutes at 60 °C or boiling for 5 minutes). On surfaces, some lipid solvents such as some alcohol-based products, detergents, sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or calcium hypochlorite (bleaching powder), and other suitable disinfectants at appropriate concentrations can be used as disinfectants."

Ok, there is not a facepalm image strong enough for that...not even the facepalm made of facepalms will cut it.

That is stupidity on an evolutionary scale. :/\\!!

Pressure washing is fine, the hot water will kill the Ebola...but the guys should be wearing NBC suits!

Sung 10-03-14 06:24 AM

Oberon.
There is no hot water. Thats a normal pressure cleaner.
And the Indian girl is walking with sandals through that vomit.

I bet these two guys didn't know what they doing there :o

Christ on a bike... :/\\!! :nope:

Ok, I take it back, if this is the level of stupidity that the US is going to display in the face of Ebola, you guys are screwed. :dead:

Urals are too far away, and any self respecting Russian (that lives in Moscow) has an access to a fall out shelter (not metro) there.

Good point, I forgot about the Moscow shelters, are they still building the new shelters that were announced to be built back in 2010?

Which specific project do you refer to?

It is an ongoing process (the most recent one that I remember was the TIS started in 90s and finished in 00s), though the new facilities are for the goverment use only.

D'oh! Still, at least they made an effort...I don't recall any major public protection works in the US or UK, shelters were left to the public and individual businesses to make. Teller, Rockefeller, Kahn and Holifeld apparently had an idea for a series of shelters across the US to be able to house millions of people, perhaps that's where the idea for the Vaults in Fallout came from.

File this under the "No big surprise" department. Workers balk at clean-up.

The officials said it had been difficult to find a contractor willing to enter the apartment to clean it and remove bedding and clothes, which they said had been bagged in plastic. They said they now had hired a firm that would do the work soon. The Texas health commissioner, Dr. David Lakey, told reporters during an afternoon news conference that officials had encountered “a little bit of hesitancy” in seeking a firm to clean the apartment

Actually, I'm not too worried for the guys doing the pressure washing. The vomit was days old at this point and the virus likely long dead.

I'm more worried for whomever and whatever may have had contact with that spot in it's early hours prior to anyone even knowing what it was. Kids running barefoot. A dog who later inflicted a scratch or bite. The woman in sandals. etc.
