[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please people, get a grip. Not a single person in this country has contracted Ebola from casual contact. Not a one. The only people who have contracted it were nurses working with an end stage patient's bodily fluids and wearing inappropriate protection. No one living with Duncan, or who came in contact with Duncan, contracted the disease. Not a single health care worker who has treated an Ebola patient outside of this rinky dink hospital in Texas has contracted the disease.

Please tell me how somehow who works at the world bank is going to be exposed to an Ebola patient's bodily fluids. I don;t think these folks are putting in IVs and cleaning up vomit.

So many of you are just being ridiculous.[/quote]

You are stunningly stupid. Is it denial?[/quote]

Wha? These are the facts.[/quote]

A world bank employee on a work trip to monrovia could absolutely come into contact with ebola patients just by virtue of being in a city with an epidemic. [/quote]

How does being in a city with ebola patients expose him to their bodily fluids?

The reason it spread so badly in Africa is because people were caring for dying family members themselves, they were exposing themselves to highly infectious bodily fluids during traditional funeral ceremonies and their hospitals did not have enough people to clean the bodily fluids produced by patients.

We've had Ebola patients walking around our cities. Duncan and the two nurses. They infected no one.[/quote]

Agree that the risk from the us patients is low, but only because other than Duncan they got to the hospital early. In monrovia people are dying on the streets - the risk of casual contact is much higher. Anyone in monrovia is at rism, hence they are a risk returning here where we have to just have faith they will be isolated early.[/quote]
