Thanks for posting those links.

From the Washington Post link this also caught my eye:

"Duncan died at the Dallas hospital Oct. 8. It’s not certain what kind of lab specimen the hospital worker may have handled. Ebola is transmitted through bodily fluids such as vomit, urine, saliva, sweat, feces, breast milk and semen. And it’s not clear what, if any, protective gear he or she was not wearing at the time of contact."

When the CDC handles or works with infectious specimens they wear full body hazmat suits. Anyone want to bet this person was not.

It is a slam dunk she was only wearing gloves and maybe safety glasses. No way she was wearing even the limited PPE the attending nurses were wearing.
