Which, of course, links to infowars. DONOTLINKed:

The Centers for Disease Control is looking to purchase body bags and a host of other personal protective equipment in response to the Ebola outbreak as concerns continue to linger about the spread of the virus.

A “sources sought” notice posted on FedBizOpps reveals that, “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) is seeking multiple sources of supply for personal protective equipment (PPE) for potential use in the current Ebola Virus Disease outbreak response.”

According to an attachment entitled “List of Personal Protective Equipment for Sources Sought Notice,” the federal agency is looking to source suppliers of body bags that can hold 200-250 lbs of weight. The bags must also include, “At least 6 handholds included in the body bag to allow burial team to hand carry it safely.”

The advisory states that the body bags and other equipment are intended to be used both in West Africa and in response to other Ebola outbreaks worldwide.

The CDC is also looking to source surgical face masks, sterile gowns, infectious waste containers, and tarps amongst other PPE supplies. The notice does not specify the quantity of body bags that the CDC is looking to obtain.

Wait. What?

The purchase is to combat the Ebola outbreak in West Africa - along with PPE gear to avoid further infection of health workers, who have been hard hit due to lack of critical gear.

That warrants a Drudge? These guys are paranoid that they wont bother reading past the headline.

And that comes on the heels of unverified claims that 250,000 hazmat suits were sent to Dallas after the single case was identified there (Duncan) and the subsequent infection of two nurses.

My head hurts from all this derp.
