I don't see what the issue is as long as proper medical procedures are followed. This article seems like it's hunting for outrage.

You obviously didn't read the article. First, "proper medical procedures" aren't followed - they provide food and drink near areas where human tissue may be flying about, presenting incredible risk of transmission of disease. Second, it's impossible to properly clean up hotel ballroom spaces from blood borne pathogens compared to labs available in teaching hospitals. Carpets and other textiles have no place in a lab.

  > they provide food and drink near areas where human tissue may be flying about, presenting incredible risk of transmission of disease Well, if the physicians & surgeons consuming the food & drink don't care, why should we? Presumably they are educated and trained enough to consider the risks. > Second, it's impossible to properly clean up hotel ballroom spaces from blood borne pathogens compared to labs available in teaching hospitals. I imagine that it's the teaching hospitals who sponsored this report — it's in their interest to see this kind of thing banned, because then they'd have a monopoly on cadaver labs.

Can you imagine your toddler crawling on the carpet the next day because a birthday party was hosted in the same ball room?

  Presumably they'd pull up the plastic sheets covering the carpet prior to the next party.

    Literally the first paragraph of the article describes a body leaking through what it's wrapped in.

    Plastic sheets can be punctured.
