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?
Our news said one of those schools closed because a teacher was on the flight with the nurse. But that doesn't make sense to me- unless they had a very quick turn around. The nurse was on the flight going to Dallas from Cleveland. If that teacher went to Dallas and went right back to Cleveland that seems odd.

ETA: The news report I just read said that a teacher was on the same airplane, for a later flight. It also said there were two students who were in contact with the nurse while she was there and that's why their schools are closed.
