How long before it's transmitted in an apartment situation and those Tenants work with you?
Not an unfounded thought and while I live outside of the area and own a home all I work with are apartment dwellers in Dallas so yes, I think about it.
There are still lots of questions that need to be answered. Specifically, did the healthcare worker follow the protocol, while taking off the protective gear? Recall that the Spanish nurse was also infected while taking off the gear.
Healthcare workers clearly need better training...

Probably not, I imagine most people tend to get lax when they feel the patient is improving which is what the ebola patient was doing at first.
Now with the open borders and flights still pouring in from Africa the terrorist no longer have to figure out how to stuff a bomb up their ass.....Just rub up against a Ebola leaker, jump a plane,fly to NYC,wait till your in Obola bloom and ride the subways till you drop.........Now don't tell me terrorist aren't considering this......
I agree 100%. None of the other direct-contact viruses seem to spread so quickly. Why are so many health care workers getting sick? They were all careless? Something doesn't add up.
So many?
CDC is implying it's a likely breach in protocol- unintended human error.
Texas Department of Health is implying the nurse had extensive contact with Duncan.
It is now clear that protective gear is only partially protective. Health care workers would be justified to refuse to come anywhere near an Ebola patient. On the other hand, this hospital bungled other aspects so it is possible that they did the protective measures wrong.
Protective gear and protocol go hand in hand.
We would know nothing of the virus if it was not possible for gear and protocol to adequately protect scientists and healthcare workers.
It has come to light that the healthcare worker was involved with providing dialysis treatment to Eric Duncan. As the CDC noted, some procedures, such as dealing directly with lots of blood from an infected ebola patient are extremely high risk.
