The thought just occurred to me--Mr Duncan was quite ill when the ambulance was called and he was vomiting. What happened to their garbage? I assume there was Ebola-infected items in their trash.

Edit: Just saw this article. Apparently nothing has happened because of the risk of the waste and no waste disposal company wants to deal with it. But an appropriate contractor is supposed to be out this afternoon.

So, just like with hospitals, dealing with infected or even just potentially infected materials will be a challenge whenever Ebola makes an appearance here. I wonder if potential contacts are also facing a similar problem with garbage removal, even if they are all symptom-free?
