Sanja Gupta on CNN said that it is possible, though not as likely, to get Ebola from someone sneezing in their hand and then touching a handrail that you then touch right before you rub your eyes.
So, follow the same rules you should to avoid the flu, and you'll avoid ebola. People, wash your hands before rubbing your eyes, or touching your face. Its not hard to do.
LOL. Now if that ain't just like Texas. Whine about the Feds, throw tantrums and declare you want to quit the Union. And when the going gets a little tough and some heavy lifting is needed, wonder why Uncle Sugar is not there to do it for you.
Your hatred of Texas is noted.
But this is ebola here. The CDC has the experience and should be dealing with this.
My main concern is that Ebola doesn't spread from that infected household.
My secondary concern is that the family has food while they are quarantined. There's a huge Liberian community in Dallas, which the family is active in and connected with. I know this is a novel idea to some people, but maybe their groceries and basic needs can be provided by friends and relatives rather than by THE STATE or out of public funds.
Maybe some did help and it's just not being reported.

Ebola is a level 4 biohazard.
Would you say the same if it were nuclear waste ?
That has to do with the severity of the disease, not the level of contagiousness.
Which is obviously also an additional factor to be considered by the general population beyond the degree of contagion.
I work in a major hospital clinical laboratory. As does my husband...he has a microbiology specialty and will be performing Ebola testing if ordered in our area. We are not worried. But we are concerned.
Be careful. The usual cautions apply...do not shake hands and then bring your hands to your face. Body fluids on that hand can transfer to yours and then enter your nose or mouth. That is much easier said than done so be very aware.
