Subject: RE: BS: Anybody else watching Ebola break out?
Mrzzy, how many glove layers do you use? My hazardous environments paramedic mate uses 3, so you've always got a layer between you and anything potentially nasty: outer layer splits at the wrong time, you've still got a second you can clean, and a third to get that one off once "clean - we think".
The UK is a bit more stringent, I think, than Spain or the US: nobody goes into the hazardous area, the staff work through half-suits from outside it. At the moment, at least. I suspect they also use negative pressure in that area.
The biggest worry is someone travelling to the nearest hospital by bus because they don't drive and the ambulances are on strike ( as they were this morning).
