[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1180033, member: 18945"] At this point, I am not at all convinced that Ebola is anywhere near as difficult to contract as is being reported. It is of course, one of the jobs of CDC and the govt as a whole, to try to keep a lid on things, reassure people, prevent panic etc. The medical field is way out of my area of expertise (as are most things) but one thing in particular has bothered me about Ebola and what has been happening in West Africa. The high number of healthcare workers who have been infected. The docs, nurses etc. They take precautions, dress for the job, know the risk, yet a comparatively large number of them have been infected. At least 2 US doctors working in West Africa have come down with it and one nurse. The pictures we see show the care givers in scrubs, gloves, masks--some look ready to go to a hazmat accident, yet the reports out of West Africa say they have lost a lot of their trained personnel.
