#1 He is fine. The nurse is wearing the suit to keep the virus in. The others are going to be with her in the aircraft. Whats the big deal?

#2 Where are you at, 49 Pan?

Right here in Dallas, the media is stoking the fires of panic.

Excuse me, out of an abundance of caution.

#3 Apparently he's their "spotter", nor wearing the gear to maintain his field of vision.

Seems spotting could be done by multiple people at a distance, with radios if necessary.

#4 Correct, Rob. The spotter needs to be close enough to talk with the people in the haz-mat suits, point out issues, etc. He's considered "clean" and can hand things to the personnel, take things back that are known or cleared to be clean, etc. Out in the open like that radio and video isn't going to get the job done.

I've been in a haz-mat suit a couple times: you can't hardly see squat.
