From the WHO. Our CDC site doesn't mention surfaces and material, only direct contact.
WHO | Ebola virus disease
Ebola then spreads through human-to-human transmission via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and with surfaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing) contaminated with these fluids.
you -usually - can't get Ebola via Sneezing. More likely putting a guy in a wheelchair, picking him up, and cleaning up the diarrhea is the risk, cleaning the person, turning bed sores - thats the risk.
There are 2 federal agencies that deal with hazardous waste and both have different rules and both are currently duking it out. Hospitals have already complained of this.
The CDC said they were trying to find cleaning crews to deal with the apartment.
Obviously the CDC didn't do much planning beyond telling hospitals to ask patients if they have traveled to Africa.
Shake off your hatred for Texas for one minute and look at the bigger picture here.
It's the job of the FedGov, specifically the CDC to direct states and lead the effort in cases like this.
Ebola is not the flu.
Excuses, excuses. The whole world is watching this fiasco. It is not the CDC's job; it is the Texas health department (presuming they even funded one) to deal with this based on recommendations and guidance from the CDC. States rights, you know. Like I said earlier, it is hilarious seeing the we will go it alone star state crying that the Feds are not doing enough for them.
and I don't hate Texas, though it is not a place I would choose to live. .

Well Duncan only helped this girl to the hospital and back home.
And he caught it.
As the CDC says.."Do not touch anyone with ebola" is your safest bet.
He was squeezed into the back of a cab with her and her brother, she did right off and the brother died a few days later, meaning they were highly contagious, now the cab driver who did not touch them his fine and he has even don interviews on what happened. The thing is do not touch them, especially if they are showing symptoms. I will give the guy credit for helping my guess is he knew he might have it and wanted to get to the US where he had a fighting chance of survival.

No, he rode in the front. But when they got turned away from the 3 hospitals and came home he did carry her back into the house.
They found the cab driver in Liberia and talked to him.
But he did lie on that questionnaire. If he answered truthfully they would not have let him board that plane.
Ebola, touched upon unbroken skin, can infect you, via skin staphylococcus transference to blood pathways.
It can make good staph go bad, like in flesh-eating bacteria.
I don't think staph has anything to do with catching Ebola, though patients who are seriously ill with Ebola can certainly get other infections.
It does not appear to get into the body through intact skin.
