Well, I wouldn't panic just yet. Let's see what happens with these nurses, the other healthcare providers, and their circles of friends/family. It very-well could be contained after the 21 day period for each of those dies out. Remember those are all people who wash their hands WAY more than you and I probably do.
The good news is, they've had really good luck with blood/plasma donations of people who have survived the virus being given to those who actively have it. Duncan wasn't a blood-type match for the one missionary guy who was in the states and willing to donate (and frankly, it may have been too late for him anyway because his diagnosis was so botched). Pham (Nurse #1) was a match and has received from him. I'm unsure if Vinson (Nurse #2) was able to receive or not.
Bottom line, until someone in your area has been directly exposed & is contagious, I wouldn't think too much about it. It's a needle-in-a-haystack situation at this point.
