1 suit = 1 safe use? What they are buying is a false sense of security.

That is why I stocked up. Cases of suits, and the rest. Went thru put on and deconstruct protocols with wife today.

Suits, gloves, goggles, and n95 masks. Can easily make the secondary head coverings from 13 gallon trash bags. 1/2 gallon spray pumps for decon with a tacked up plastic area in the garage. Decon buckets for reusables and burn buckets for the rest.

Masks, goggles (non vented), and gloves with decontamination protocols will be fine thru most of this till the shtf.

I’m working on decon protocol now. Pm me urs, or if u want what my thoughts are right now.

They can be disinfected with a spray of diluted bleach. Of course you need a safe spot to do this in, and have the runoff go somewhere that won’t touch you. Outdoor decontamination.

A Tyvex suit is not appropriate for Ebola. Asbestos, dust, oil and caustic chemicals, OK, in many instances. Cost= $250 a case. One biohaz suit cost= $1350, at least, and the cost of SCBA is higher yet (I’ve been out of the business for a while so prices probably went up). But if it makes them FEEL better, OK. Problem is, they’ll probably spread it faster because they think they are able to take greater chances.
