This deputy sheriff was in the contaminated house for 30 minutes without protective gear, no doubt. We need to use an over-abundance of caution regarding the protocols for dealing with this virus. Assume the virus has become air born, for starters and enact protocols for that. Better to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.
The vomit could have vaporized into the closed off rooms and been either breathed in or cause virus to splash them by way of breeze or use of a air conditioner or heater. The intake of a unit could maybe draw virus in the ducts and all over everyone.
As long as that caution does not include suspending or severely restricting travel from the African continent.
And or stopping anyone from the African continent who's flight had originated from these regions. They must be allowed into the U.S. for our own safety.
