lol I'm no doctor, I don't know; I'd imagine it's at a lab and ultimately will be burned. But best believe they have NO access to water supply/sewage. CNN had pictures of the scientists and doctors treating the guy, they're essentially wearing astronaut gear to prevent any contact. But again, it's just a precaution. You can hug someone with ebola and not get it. It's transmitted through body fluids such as saliva or blood.
Currently the infected doctor is recovering, although obviously he can still die.

It's less dangerous to more developed countries because we can more accurately treat and quarantine it. The problem in some African countries is that it's being spread rapidly due to lack of quarantines and needles not being properly disposed of.
Doctor's different viewpoints of Silver
So Harvard is no good... but a study from the University of North Texas... not even linked directly to the study... but to a site touting silver... is OK?
Oh, but wait a minute... you've got Dr. Oz on your side.

So Dr. Oz isn't a real doctor? What about Gupta?

Ebola terror at Gatwick as passenger collapses and dies getting off Sierra Leone flight
Workers said they were terrified the virus could spread globally through the busy international hub from the West African country which is in the grip of the deadly epidemic.
The woman, said to be 72, became ill on the gangway after she left a Gambia Bird jet with 128 passengers on board. She died in hospital on Saturday. Ebola has killed 256 people in Sierra Leone.
A total of 826 have died in West Africa since the outbreak began in February. Tests were carried out to see if the woman had the disease. The plane was quarantined as officials desperately tried to trace everyone who had been in contact with the woman. Airport workers faced an anxious wait to see if the woman had Ebola. One said: “Everyone’s just petrified. “We’ve all seen how many people have died from Ebola, especially in Sierra Leone, and it’s terrifying.”
Speaking of the horrific moment the passenger collapsed, the shocked staff member added: “The woman was sweating buckets and vomiting.
“Paramedics arrived to try and help her. The next thing everybody was there… emergency crews, airfield operations, even immigration.
“They closed down the jet bridge and put the aircraft into quarantine.
“They took everyone’s details, even the guy who fuels the aircraft.”
The plane carrying the woman came from Freetown in Sierra Leone – a country with the highest number of victims from the disease. It stopped at Banjul in The Gambia before landing in Gatwick at 8.15am on Saturday after a five-hour flight. Public Health England tried to allay fears of an Ebola breakout in Britain.
It said the woman showed no symptoms during the flight. One official added: “Public Health England is aware a passenger arriving on a flight from The Gambia that landed at Gatwick airport on Saturday fell ill shortly after disembarking.
"The passenger was taken to hospital and sadly died.
“In line with standard procedures, tests are being undertaken to determine the cause of death.
“The patient’s symptoms suggest that Ebola is very unlikely but as a precaution this is one of the tests being undertaken.
"The patient was not symptomatic on the plane and therefore there is no risk of Ebola being passed on to either flight crew or other passengers.
“England has world class health care and disease control systems which are active permanently, regularly tested and proven to be effective.
“As such, if the UK does see a case of imported Ebola, this will not result in an outbreak in this country.”
South East Ambulance Service confirmed it had dealt with the sick woman at the airport. Communications chief Janine Compton said: “We attended Gatwick airport at 8.30am on Saturday to attend an adult female patient who was seriously ill.
"She was taken to East Surrey Hospital in Redhill where she subsequently died.”
A Gatwick airport spokeswoman added: “A passenger collapsed after disembarking a flight from the Gambia.
"She was treated by airport medical staff at the scene but died later in hospital. The cause of death is yet to be confirmed.”
At around 11pm on Sunday, the Department of Health said that tests for the deadly Ebola virus on the woman who died at Gatwick had proved negative. There is no cure for Ebola. Symptoms in the later stages include external and internal bleeding, vomiting and diarrhoea. At this point the disease is highly contagious. Victims have a 90% chance of dying, although doctors said in this epidemic the rate is 60%. The outbreak began in the forests of eastern Guinea in February. It quickly spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone. A jump in the number of cases and the death toll has raised international concern and placed under-resourced health facilities in the West African nations under strain.

Ebola fears swirl around US-Africa summit
A widening outbreak of deadly Ebola fever is threatening to overshadow next week's summit between African leaders and President Obama.
The three-day conference will bring nearly 50 African officials to Washington, D.C. for an unprecedented gathering that officials said could be a turning point in U.S.-Africa relations.
But now, Obama administration officials are competing with increasingly dire news out of West Africa, where Ebola is ravaging populations in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
At least two African leaders will forgo the conference as a result with the death toll topping 700.
And while the event's agenda has not changed, President Obama said Friday that some international guests will undergo additional screenings next week to ensure safety.
"We are taking the appropriate precautions," Obama said at a press conference.
"Folks who are from these countries that have even a marginal risk, or an infinitesimal risk of having been exposed in some fashion, we're making sure we're doing screening."
An administration official described additional steps to ensure the disease does not travel to the United States.
First, the government worked with international partners to ensure that no one who may be ill or exposed to the virus will attend the summit.
In addition to screening at ports of entry, health officials will be available to provide medical care to all attendees, and the White House will learn when anyone seeks outside treatment.
Members of the Secret Service and the Diplomatic Security Service are also receiving special briefings on Ebola.
The preparations highlight fears that a sick guest could cross the Atlantic, though officials said the likelihood is very small.
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director Tom Frieden downplayed the risk, noting that Ebola is a "dreadful disease" but does not spread through casual contact.
"You will not get Ebola from someone who is not showing obvious symptoms," Frieden told The Hill.
"There is no carrier stage as there is with other diseases. Someone is usually desperately ill and bleeding or has already died if they spread it."
Ebola emerged in Africa in the 1970s and wrecks the body by causing extensive bleeding. Nearly every victim dies from the virus, as there is no vaccine and no cure.
The United States is leading the response against the current outbreaks alongside the World Health Organization (WHO).
While U.S. officials have been upbeat about the possibility of containing the disease, WHO Director General Margaret Chan warned Friday that the rash of cases is getting worse.
"This outbreak is moving faster than our efforts to control it," Chan said in remarks at a meeting in Conakry, the capital of Guinea.
"If the situation continues to deteriorate, the consequences can be catastrophic in terms of lost lives … and a high risk of spread to other countries."
"It has demonstrated its ability to spread via air travel," she added.
CDC Director Frieden said the best way to protect Americans is to prevent the virus from spreading further in West Africa.
The agency is "surging" its resources on the ground, including sending 50 epidemiologists and other personnel over the next month.
"It's a big undertaking," Frieden said. "It's a big deal to do that safely and securely."
Ebola will not stay off American soil permanently. Two Americans infected with the virus will arrive for treatment in Atlanta in the next week.
Health officials are also working to educate Transportation Security Administration and border control workers about how to spot symptoms.
Anyone traveling from affected countries to the United States this weekend will receive an initial Ebola screening prior to departure, U.S. officials said.
After that, anyone showing symptoms could be quarantined at U.S. or other airports.
