“..these can be sanitized if necessary.”

I think I read where Ebola dies out in the cooler months (in Africa? Maybe I’m wrong.) But if it is temperature sensitive they could run stuff through the cooler for 24 hours. I think it only lasts on a hard surface for a few days anyway.

There was a photograph of heavy duty rubber gloves and boots hanging to dry in one photo - so obviously they aren’t throwing everything away. I imagine a good bleach solution and air-dry kills the virus. Of course that assumes they washed everything well.

According to news reports it lives nearly a month on hard surfaces.

Cooler temps preserve the virus.

The ‘cooler’ months in Africa are usually the ones that are dry as well.

I’m concerned that the current epidemic infection rate seems to go exponential right around the time of their rainy season. Also known as mosquito season.
