The article says the same:

‘The protective suits that Ebola workers wear provide excellent protection, but there is a danger when it is time to take the suit off.

‘It is also possible that a tiny amount of Ebola-containing liquid splashed on the protective garments, and then was transferred to her skin while removing the protective clothing.’

Ok, let’s buy that for the means of infection argument.

Had the workers NOT been wearing the protective suits, just regular aprons and scrubs...that same droplet of infectious liquid would have fallen on those instead. Or on unprotected skin somewhere. And infected the worker when they changed clothes or took off the apron later on.

Specious argument at best.
