We have no idea if the man really has the virus. Either way, we are curious about the advice allegedly given to the pregnant woman who was in the facility earlier today.

Woman inside Harvard Vanguard said they were told to go home and shower, clean cars with disinfecting wipes and check for fever for 21 days

Is “taking a shower” the new CDC protocol for stopping the spread of Ebola?

How about a hot bath filled with salt water?
