A contaminated pen would mean someone broke protocol, no matter which version of the protocol was being used at the time.
The point was to compare a contaminated pen to a contaminated bowling ball, not to prove the nurses screwed up, or not. And if you can get Ebola from a contaminated pen, it's not that difficult to catch.

Hamsters that couldn't find enough vitamin C died from severe hemorrhagic diseases.
You see, they never evolved to make their own.
"Goats, like almost all animals, make their own vitamin C. An adult goat, weighing approx. 70 kg, will manufacture more than 13,000 mg of vitamin C per day in normal health, and levels manyfold higher when faced with stress."
It's a good thing that the news conference with Amber Vinson was not in Jersey or Christie would have had all the people on the stage locked up for 21 days of in-tent quarantine. It just illustrates how stupid his political theatrics are.

Quarantines...so it spreads through casual contact? That question is a rhetorical one...don't answer it.
Honestly you know some people just get something in their head and it sticks and there is no changing it, no matter what evidence is put in front of them, to the contrary.
carry on...
btw, don't eat the tainted meat. Don't touch the blood, the vomit or the diarrhea of an infected person. That is what those who have become infected have done.

I knew this. I was summing up the posts I had read along the way with a question. Thanks for answering though; from what I can see of people's reactions it will get more unreal, long before the reality sets in.

My point was that for someone to come in contact with a contaminated pen (or choose your object: face mask, gown, bootie, hood) there must be a break in protocol - any protocol, even whatever Texas Presbyterian used when Duncan came to the ER the second time.
