No its a significant issue and one where I work we are keeping an eye on. Our station is across the street from a high rise complex which was the first to have a major outbreak and they started to fan out from there. We have had none yet and we made sure we all communicated the issue and the things to do to prevent them from spreading. We do not and will not kneel on beds, couches etc. We remain standing and place our ems bags when on calls in buildings known to have infestation only on hard tables and such. This also holds true as normal for us as we don't want to bring back roaches either.
