You might be downvoted because your suggestions are a little overboard at this point, in particular, "Hope arrangements are made to test people who are coming into US. My guess is, testing doctors/nurses, checking customs/security officials ...etc i.e. all employees at the interfaces i.e. shipping ports, airports need to be wearing spacesuit sort of dresses as mentioned in the article so that they themselves won't be infected and become carriers of virus."
The Risk/Reward of spending money on hazmat gear for every screener who has to work secondary (presumably you are suggesting that we would only screen people who had just come from an ebola active area) is pretty weak.
- q2 12y agoI agree that I am suggesting screening of only those, who are coming from Ebola active area. As this article mentions, incubation period to see symptoms by other humans is between one week to three weeks after infection. But tests may catch before. Since we are living in globalized world, where people move across borders, I am worried about people carrying virus unknowingly. Many parts of Asia are very dense and it may be overnight catastrophe if this happens. So authorities at the hubs of human activity (US/Europe/China/Japan ...etc) need to be more vigilant than normal humans outside. Please note that "prevention is better than care". Thanks. Edit: small grammar change.
- ghshephard 12y agoVigilant, yes. But full hazmat gear to screen asymptomatic individuals is going overboard.
