I was Aeromedical at the time, we were clad up like surgeons, complete with booties. I'll be honest, we were ****ting out pants because we had young children and didn't know how it was transmitted. The fear and unknown lasted about 2 months when with a sigh of relief the news came, it's ok guys it's blood to blood, you can lose the protective gear and became limited to the paramedics only when the patient was bleeding. The grim reaper campaign went on for some time after that. International travel back then was only qantas and a minuscule of what it is today. (well before march anyway)
