1950's Department of Education protocol for saving schoolchildren during a nuclear attack: "Hide under the desk"

2014 protocol for halting the spread of Ebola in Sierra Leone:

"In Sierra Leone, on Friday, health officials — facing just such a shortage of beds — adopted a new policy of having families treat patients in their homes by distributing painkillers, rehydrating solutions and gloves to hundreds of Ebola-afflicted households. But if a nurse in Dallas, clothed in protective garments, could not escape infection, it is hard to believe that less well-equipped households in Sierra Leone will be able to escape contamination from an Ebola patient in their midst." -- NY Times article on Ebola
