Question: How do you remove isolation garments contaminated with Ebola-laden sputum, feces, urine, and/or blood without exposing yourself? How do you decontaminate the room in which you remove the garb? Dispose of said garments? If anyone knows, please circulate the protocol to all US hospitals, because no one seems to know bugger-all about it.
You have to suit up like you are dealing with a lethal agent and strictly follow procedures. Layer by layer.

All contaminated material gets triple bagged and incinerated.

Chlorine is a great disinfectant if flame is not acceptable.

Remember the DS2 sprayers and boxes full of STB to stomp through?
