(NaturalNews) There are 5,723 hospitals in the United States, and only four of them have level-4 biohazard isolation facilities. The other 5,719 are just "regular" hospitals with rooms that are no more secure against Ebola than your own bedroom, most likely.

Because the Ebola outbreak continues to spread out of control, it is becoming increasingly likely that hospitals will be completely overwhelmed very early in the pandemic. Just one patient, Thomas Duncan, already shut down the entire emergency room of the hospital in Dallas, requiring 70 medical staffers to treat him.

As Mac Slavo of SHTFplan.com writes, "a single Ebola patient in Dallas overwhelmed the system to such an extent that Texas Presbyterian had to shut down their emergency room to new patients." [1]

In a continued outbreak, all local hospital will be overwhelmed with Ebola patients and Ebola victims will be sent home to recover or die on their own. This will put American families in the extremely uncomfortable position of suddenly needing to care for an infected Ebola patient in their own home.

Another scenario involved government authorities declaring medical martial law and ordering a "shelter in place" lockdown of an entire city or region. Here, too, families would need to take care of their own medical needs until the lockdown is lifted.

How to build an Ebola isolation room in your own home

For this reason, and out of "an abundance of caution" as the hospitals like to say, I'm going public with potentially lifesaving information on how to build an emergency Ebola isolation room in your own home.

Disclaimer: This isn't a BSL-4 biohazard room, obviously. It's not 100% effective. There are no guarantees that it will keep you safe, but it's a huge step in the right direction. It can save lives and help prevent the spread of any viral pandemic. Everything you're about to learn here is fully aligned with the sterilization and isolation principles taught in medical school and practiced in hospitals around the world. My mantra is "do the best with what you have" and be fully informed of the astonishing ease at which Ebola is now spreading. If you can get the help of a medical professional, please seek to do so. This information is offered in the context of an uncontrolled Ebola outbreak scenario where people are being turned away from hospitals and are forced to care for themselves. In these circumstances, the following information may help save your life.

Here's some of what the free audio file teaches:

- Hospitals won't be functional in an Ebola outbreak

- Myth busted: Ebola is now spreading in the best hospitals in the world

- Ideally, you need level-4 biohazard equipment to deal with Ebola patients

- Indirect transmission of Ebola is now confirmed

- You have to take Ebola transmission seriously; do not underestimate its ability to spread

- Isolation strategies for your own home

- Plan on medical martial law and being ordered to "shelter in place" in your own home

- How to handle an infected family member or guest

- Acquire a large quantity of plastic sheeting or shower curtains

- Cover the entryway of the isolation room with plastic sheeting

- Anyone entering the room must be wearing full protective gear, full-face respirator, gloves, full body suit, shoe covers, with all joints taped to seal the gaps

- Ideally, you would have a positive-pressure space suit, but nobody has these at home

- Assume that every surface and object in the room is contaminated

- Have a protocol for sanitizing contaminated items removed from the room

- What kills Ebola? Sunlight and bleach!

- A "decon" person also needs to be wearing protective gear while scrubbing and rising the first person

- Remember the ventilation pathways of your home: Air is likely being injected into the room, causing contaminated air to leave the room under the door

- Air leaving the isolation room can carry aerosolized Ebola particles

- Use a HEPA filter to filter particles from the air in the isolation room

- Off-the-shelf ultraviolet lights might be helpful but are likely not strong enough to kill Ebola virus in any reasonable amount of time

- Consider the bathroom needs of the person in the isolation room: Do they have their own private bathroom? If not, you will need to remove feces and urine from the room manually (and consider both to be heavily contaminated)

- If you have to flush contaminated fluids down the toilet, follow it with bleach as a disinfectant

- Tips on giving supportive care to an Ebola patient: hydration, environmental controls, sufficient sleep, nutrition, etc.

- Respect the choices of your patient; don't force them to consume foods or supplements that they don't want to

- Don't forget the mental and psychological support needed for someone in isolation

- Be prepared for "bargaining" from the patient in isolation

- Give them things to pass the time: books, videos, etc.

- Get them reason to hope and something to look forward to after the quarantine

- Discussion of multiple isolation rooms in the same home

- Do the best you can with what you have

- Plan in advance for at-home isolation rooms

- Count on a police state response with forced vaccinations and isolation orders
