All great points! Does anyone know where to look up this type of information? Got some video links to share?
Anyone know where we could get our hands on a few isolation suits that are representative of the ones currently in use in Africa? Maybe we can set up a "give one, get one" program for DIYbio labs...
I would assume these suits are tested using nanoparticles, or innocuous viral particles or bacterial spores - not too dissimilar to the discussion we've had here on testing HEPA filters. But (a) that seems overkill for a virus that can only spread through direct contact or large (non-aerosol) liquid droplets, and (b) it doesn't necessarily account for ease of avoiding contamination during removal.
