It sounds like the Spanish hospital workers were not wearing the kinds of hazmat suits that I have been seeing on the news. I feel bad for all of the healthcare workers.

She would have had to touch a mucous membrane

That's not difficult to imagine. People touch their noses all the time without even being aware that they're doing it.

I take it back --I read a badly translated article.

I think she took leave. She went to her moms, I read. She did go sit for one exam.

According to CNN via El Pais, Madrid's newspaper, they now are testing a person that rode in the ambulance after the nurse and before they cleaned it (evidently 7 patients in total). This patient now has a fever and is in quarantine.

This whole thing is just going to keep spiraling because there are SO many mistakes being made.

I also read that NIH only has 2 beds and there's a person with a fever that just arrived from Liberia and was arrested at the airport on another charge who is/has been isolated and is being tested.

That person in Spain tested negative.

There are two more people who are going through testing. At least one of them had contact with ebola patients in west Africa recently.
