CDC Warns Funeral Homes in U.S. to Prepare For Ebola Victims

Recommendations caution workers not to embalm corpses

The Centers for Disease Control is advising funeral homes in the United States on how to handle the remains of Ebola victims, although officials are keen to stress that the development is not a cause for alarm.

A three page list of recommendations instructs funeral workers to wear protective gear while handling Ebola victims, as well as warning them not to carry out autopsies or to embalm corpses.

“If the outbreak of the potentially deadly virus is in West Africa, why are funeral homes in America being given guidelines?” asks WFSB.com.

Last night it was revealed that a Dallas hospital is holding a potential Ebola victim in “strict isolation” after the patient was admitted based on symptoms and “recent travel history.”

Alysia English, Executive Director of the Georgia Funeral Directors Association, dismissed suggestions that Americans should be alarmed by the recommendations.

“Absolutely not. In fact, if they weren’t hearing about it, they should be a whole lot more concerned,” said English.

This is really stupid crap, and the import of illegal immigrants in exponential numbers are causing more disease to be imported into our country, leading to a situation where the "People" will be begging the "Government" to fix a government caused problem, and I am not impressed.

How is the virus contained after death occurs? It doesn't die just because the host dies.

Those Words "Don't Worry We Know What's Best For You" and "Not Even a Smidgen of Corruption" are coming from the same guy who said " You Can Keep Your Insurance and Your Doctor".?! Whoever believes that is either insane or very stupidly naive.

Focus on boosting your immune systems.Until something concrete comes along,like a vaccine that's all you can do.Africans are unable to address their immune system issues because they also starving.We can and we should.Sure we'll get sick as a dog,but we'll get over it.
