If it's that way, then it would keep all the aerosolized virus inside the booth. So I guess whoever is supposedly infected goes in there. But how does the patient get in there without walking into the booth? Will they cut a hole in a wall and place the whole thing in the vacuum side?

I gave some $ to Centivax, for antibody research and am running folding@home from Stanford to help them get computational capacity to research the proteins. One can do little things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
