This is Africa, we don't have the luxury of positive pressure spacesuit. They are dealing with a deadly virus with the tools they have.

Still, a full "remediation" suit (for dealing with old remodels or crawlspaces) including very fine vapor mask, very thick gloves and a full-body coverall can be had from 3M for ... $80 or so ?

I cleaned out a hayloft of our barn recently with far more protection (hanta virus) than what is being described here.

Who can I mail some 10-packs of 3M protective gear to ?

Contact MSF or the CDC and ask them what would help.

Don't make assumptions on what would help most from what you have seen in a press photo.

They may well have dressed down for the photo to encourage people to go along to the screening.
