| #5 An ambulance, who knew? Nothing like having put your life on the line to make you sharper/attentive on some issues, for the rest of your life. |

| #3 Back in the day, when I drove an ambulance, there were special procedures for scrub-down after a MRSA transport. Once we transported a woman with Lupus. She smelled like she had been dead for awhile. My partner was driving and we went from Doctors Hospital in D.C. to University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore under lights and with the window open. We did a pretty thorough scrub-down after that one, too. |

| #2 Will similarly affected US health workers be doing the same thing in the near future? No, they will self isolate on cruise ships but not before not telling anyone else on board..... |

#1 Interesting comment from one of the Liberian ambulance drivers:He takes many precautions at home. With his constant exposure to the virus, he sleeps in a separate house from his six children to prevent them from getting sick. In the past five months, he has seen them only a few times. Will similarly affected US health workers be doing the same thing in the near future? |
