I have performed safety functions for over forty years and the one thing I learned early in my firefighting/paramedic career was to be prepared for any event. I am probably guilty of over dressing for patients that I cared for including losing close friends to HIV before it was a recognized disease. I am still on earth performing God's mission of protecting his people from illness. I have always gone the extra mile to protect coworkers and myself from harmful exposures, even though I have been trusted to handle some of the most dangerous substances known to man before certifications were required. The point is this, being a consummate safety professional, I have always exceeded what was required equipment because we did not have the information available to us that we do now. So, I always provided a plan of protection that would eliminate any exposure to any substance that I was asked to handle or be exposed to. The Ebola infections are the result of a serious breakdown in the system due to lack of proper training, personal complacency, personal responsibility, proper equipment, and vigilant supervision. Why would a person board a flight, knowing they have been exposed to a communicable disease, without being responsible enough to undergo a self imposed quarantine for 21 days?
