A concept of an automated hazmat team, for the Ebola response ~ I was reflecting upon the fear that has gripped my fellow Africans in West Africa, and the effects on the communities in the US and around the world ~ it seems like there is an underestimation of how contagious Ebola is and how to handle the bodies of the dead relatives.
I am truly praying for a cure for this killer disease.
