So its against Federal Law for hospitals to incinerate medical waste...

incinerators-r-us.com

it's a household name.

So what do they do with a piled to the ceiling high Obola contaminated mess? Where do you carry shit like that? What kind of chain of custody will it require to keep that from causing infections?

BIC LITER GASOLINE AND A FLAMETHROWER!!!

Fire is the only option.
Why not allow them to use incinerators on site?
Oh..
That makes to much sense.
Never mind.

They used to use incinerators...when did they stop?

That is why I made this thread.

I heard them saying this during the press conference this morning and that is when I realized, of course Louisiana doesn't want that dirty Obola laundry from Dallas Texas.

What the fuck were they going to do? Just dump it in a Louisiana landfill and call it a day?

Seriously..
This is a huge issue.
Burn that fucking shit on site.
Don't transport it.

Really, transporting that shit on an interstate highway is just as dumb as importing 150 people a day from a country running rampant with the disease to begin with.

No common sense.

I should of made that title as a question.

There seems to be a huge lack of common sense regarding the entire situation.

OK it seems after a little research that it Can be incinerated on site or it can be put in an autoclave to disinfect so that it can be transported.

In my opinion incineration on site makes the most sense but it looks as though most hospitals either no longer or never had incinerators for medical waste.

I see many opportunities for error.

They still do. It's being phased out due to the pollution regs.

Currently, over 90% of potentially infectious medical waste is incinerated. In August 1997, EPA promulgated regulations governing the emissions from medical waste incinerators. Because the new standards will be expensive to comply with, EPA estimates that few health care facilities are likely to install new MWIs and many facilities are likely to discontinue use of existing MWIs (we expect that 50% to 80% of the 2400 existing MWIs may be discontinued). Instead, facilities are likely to switch to other methods of waste disposal such as off-site commercial disposal or onsite disinfection technologies. [link to www.epa.gov]

But not onsite...
That's the devil in the details.

They will quarantine and treat the patient until cured or dead, then ship the waste to another site to be disposed of.
Got to trust a lot of people in a chain like that and if the nurses are complaining about the training they receive you can imagine the intense training that the Obola incinerator truck driver gets.

To much room for error and accidents. This shit needs to be handled from beginning to end Onsite.

What about used masks and gloves?

When a doctor cuts off a gangrene leg, that goes into an incinator.
When a tremendous tumor is removed, that goes in an incinator.

If hospitals are banned from incinerating waste your water supply WILL be affected.
