Amber Vinson says she followed all the rules when caring for an Ebola patient. So how did the Texas nurse contract the deadly virus?
"I have no idea," she told CNN. "I go through it almost daily in my mind: what happened, what went wrong. Because I was covered completely every time. I followed the CDC protocol. ... I never strayed. It is a mystery to me."

Well, our local news is reporting on a 'possible' Ebola case here in Charleston. From reading between the lines on this, I get the feeling this is another one of those cases where a person is claiming Ebola even though there is no chance of them having contracted it. I'm not sure if they're just nutters or plain old hypochondriacs.

Reminds me of my MIL. If she gets a scam email from someone in Nigera she'll claim she caught Ebola.

The blowback from spray? Sound similar to the NBC camera man's hypothothis, regarding disinfecting.

If one were to limit oneself to only reading the 'science' put forth by various posters in this thread, one would naturally assume that, by now, there would be hundreds of new cases, if not thousands, in the USA.

Yet, oddly, not a single new case since that New York doctor. Or even that nurse who went out riding her bike, spewing Ebola everywhere. Heck, not even those people who lived in the same household as the late Mr. Duncan have come down with Ebola.

I am starting to doubt the expertise of the experts in this thread who, after all, have spent literally hundreds of minutes cruising the internet to find information that fits their rock-solid beliefs.

Indeed, sometimes I am tempted to listen to those medical doctors and researchers whom have spent decades in the field of infectious diseases, rather than anonymous internet experts. But, that would be crazy.
