8. Prong 1: Self blood testing kits for rapid diagnostic test
8
After death
● Ebola can survive for up to a
week in a dead primate
○ Deceased must remain in a
closed section of tent
shelter
● After 1 week paramedics will
transport all bodies to the
region’s cremation centre
Contents of each kit
1 Eldoncard
1 Lancet
Gauze
Alcohol Wipe
Micropipette
Informing results
● Those that test positive
will be emailed or called
● Phones and emails will
be operated by phone
operators

9. Intermediate supervision tent shelter
9
● Tent shelter for everyone who tests positive
to stay in
● Will be monitored by doctors and nurses
● “Intermediate” location for those who do not
need hospital treatment, but are still
infected with Ebola

10. Prong 2: Mail services distributes kits
10
Kit collection
● Every kit will be picked up my
mail workers the day after
they are delivered and
transported to local blood lab
Kit mailing
● Kits delivered to
every home by
mail service of
each region
○ Once per
week
Kit reception
● Mail works will leave
kits outside of houses
○ 1 per residence

11. Prong 3: Food delivery
11
Macronutrient distribution
● Available protein, carb, fat, and
vegetable sources will be
rationed in each box
Grocery stores
● Markets will be grouped
into regions
● 1 box of food per week
delivered to each residence
per region
● Cost
○ Tacking onto taxes
○ Emergency release
unemployment
insurance will help
Food box reception
● Grocery workers will leave
boxes outside of houses
○ One per residence

12. Prong 4: Medical care
12
Doctor & nurse contact
● Doctors & nurses will only enter the plastic
even if necessary
● Medicine & food will be slipped through flap
at base of plastic covering
Hospitals
● Patients must go to
designated hospital for their
region
○ Only brought to
hospital by
paramedics from
intermediate
supervision tents
● All elective surgeries
suspended
● All non-Ebola patients moved
to very top floors of hospital
Rooms
● In hospitals every Ebola
patient would get their
bed
○ Plastics covering
surrounding each
bed’s vicinity
● No visitors (zoom/phone
calls will have to do)

13. 13
Prong 1: Lab Technicians
Prong 2: mail workers
Prong 3: grocery workers
Prong 4: doctors, nurses & paramedics
● Workers will be given an
option of weather or not to
work
○ Will be rewarded with
tax rebates or bonus
pay for their service as
consolation
4 essential workers

14. 14
1 blood lab per region
1 mail service per region
1 group of markets per
region
1 hospital per region
This is help to contain the spread, by ensuring that contact is only between workers of
every region. If cases spike in one region, they can be contained without transferring to
other regions and exacerbating the spread.
Sectioning regions

15. 15
● All workers will need to quarantine during the time that they are
working, they will live in tents
○ Tents in each region will be separated into 5 groups: 1 for blood
test workers, 1 for mail workers, 1 for grocery workers, 1 for
doctors, 1 intermediate supervision
● Workers will need to wear full body PPE
○ Especially important for blood lab workers and
doctors/nurses/paramedics seeing as they are dealing with blood
which can transmit Ebola and patients
Worker conditions

16. Deforestation
16
❖ Lack of government control → Deforestation/Forest volume shrinking
❖ Animal habitat destroyed → Animals enter human spaces
❖ Animals enter human spaces → higher chance of zoonotic transmission
❖ One of these animals is the Ebola carrying Fruit Bat

17. Logging reduction
17
Large Companies:
- Reduce annual lumber
quotas
- Offer tax rebates for
those who stay under the
quota limit
- Impose a “wood tax” on
lumber after quota has
been exceeded
Small Businesses:
- Promote clean material
use
- Offer tax rebates for
those who use a certain
percentage of material
from biodegradable
products

18. Animal protection & factory
farming reduction
18
Education
~Plant based diets
~Importance of
animals filling
niches in
ecosystems
Animal Safety
~Enforce stricter
protection laws
~Enforce capacity
cap for factory
farming
Restaurants
~Promote use of
animals that aren’t
factory farmed

19. Preventative measure: Hygiene
sanitation stations in schools &
workplaces
19
Hand Sanitizer Masks Wipes
