He got there later

Before the Outbreaks, while there was only some cases, combined CDC, WHO, UA (African Union) Teams as Initial Contact Teams wearing "street clothes" no protection to scare the locals, a clipboard forms pens pencils interviewed locals, they would get infected and die.

We arrived as a U.S. Military Armed Initial Survey Team working with the CDC not for as not subordinate to the CDC. Our Mission Physical Measurements of the spread, how spread, lethality. We wore full Total Agent Protective Suits ("spacesuits") with Rebreathers, at the very least instead of rebreathers a filter worn on belt on back with nose connected to back of hood to respirator strapped to face.

There was a conflict between what the CDC Recommended that Nation's Government believed that the CDC Recommendation was a Requirement, we disagreed with the CDC and recommended more protection, as NOT the CDC's Face Shields but Sealed Goggles, not the CDC's surgical Masks but full N100 masks as a minimum, not scrubs and apron but what we later called "duck suits" made from yellow rubber rainsuits, rubber boots, three layers of gloves not the CDC's surgical gloves. What you see in this Documentary is the later manufactured Duck Suits, and still those Nations pink N100 Filter paper Protective Masks as the pink duck beak. The first generation hoods were made from plastic white trash bags. The rubber boots were gotten locally usually from farming or gardening stores. Not shown or not used for some reason is our required use of vinyl tape to seal the gloves to the cuffs, the boots to the bottom of pants legs, at first we used vinyl tape to seal the pink N100 masks to the hood and later used blue paper surgical tape. Because of the previous CDC recommendations before we got there, 50 percent of that Nation's Medical Professionals got infected and would die, most got infected thru their eyes as the CDC's Face Shields failed to protect, the first symptom was the white portion of their eyes turned red then started to bleed they were blind and their brains had been infected via the optic nerve.

Using Staplex Air Samplers we found out that a patient's cough, projected a cloud 10 feet, the cloud 10 feet in diameter, stayed in air 6 to 10 minutes, and traveled down wind 50 feet to 100 feet depending on air speed. The unfortunate problem was that Nation's Medical Professionals usually took their breaks and ate meals downwind in the path of those patients clouds, so we had them move to the other side of the compound.

24/7 our incinerator was going, as hotter than the Sun turned bodies into a few grams of ashes, a body's ashes could fit into a 2 inch x 2 inch cardboard box that we sealed with scotch packing tape and taped an I.D. on the outside if they had an I.D.. This pissed off the locals as their ritual was to wash the body before burial, all their Relatives would hug, kiss, and caress the body, we put a stop to that, even with threats of U.S. Military Force. Burning a body meant you just sent them to Hell, another Nation's Military that was also doing an Armed Quarantine as that Nation's Military armed attempted to escape that Nation with their families, had to force back the crowds trying to stop Us incinerating the bodies.

we started attempting to use experimental treatments as antivirus Amantadine, rimantadine, pieconaril, occular fomvirsen, tamiflu, zanamivir and remdesivir, while at the same time attempting stop secondary bacterial infections, malaria, meningitis, cholera, typhoid (the Nation we were at had lots of problems)..

Somebody spread the rumor that we had "The Cure", the other Nation's Armed Military ended up using Deadly Force to stop Looters from over running Us, we ended up loading those bodies into our incinerator.

Upon leaving everything went into the incinerator, the ashes put into a 55 gallon drum that we took with Us after sterilizing the outside, this would be sent to a fixed incinerator facility at U.S. to be incinerated. All our vehicles were left at that Nation after being sterilized with concentrated hypochlorite acid. The only things that we left with was the adult diapers we wore, a paper Tyvek suit and booties.

31 days Isolation Quarantine was next.

What I cannot understand is why they, the CDC, UN World Health Organization, UA (African Union) learned nothing from Us as far as the SARS CoVid2 Virus Pandemic.
