Duncan (his first name escapes me right now) flew into the country with Ebola and visited relatives, and no one on the flight, nor his relatives, contracted the virus.
Of course, there are nurses who are sick, but the CDC is now taking extra precautions to make sure that no other healthare workers are infected.
I guess I just don't see any reason to panic right now. But maybe I'm wrong..?

Unfortunately, we have some school systems which, ironically are NOT near where the nurse was staying in Akron, that have closed today.
I agree with your analysis that there is something to handling bodily fluids of those infected vs. being near those infected. Also, why have so many healthcare workers in Liberia NOT been infected? Could there be a resistance
that they have built up?
