You're working 16 hour shifts because there aren't enough doctors to handle the patient load. You're somewhere in the bush so your equipment and the furniture is old and covered in rough edges and sharp corners that would never be allowed in a modern hospital isolation ward. So, imagine you're working in an overcrowded ward thrown together in some church or community center. Afterall, what are you going to run into?īut in a place like an Ebola ward, bumping your leg on the corner of a table, brushing your hand over a lose screw or bolt on a hospital bed, catching your helmet on a low-hanging light, all of those can be deadly if they result in even a microscopic breach of the suit. It's really good at that.īut, any tear, any puncture, any compromise of the suit and your protection is gone.

A space suit can keep you alive when there is nothing outside. Full biohazard suits have internal atmosphere, are pressurized, etc, just like a space suit, to keep the ward atmosphere and all the potential viruses outside. I think what he's saying is that the suit protection is only good if you can maintain integrity.
