...” which is not a concern with Ebola which spreads by droplets or direct contact with bodily fluids.”
This doctor had been careful to remain fully contained within his bio-suit while handling his patient. According to reports, his skin never contacted bodily fluids.
But thanks for your guarantees - what’s your next one?
Except when he disrobed... kind of hard to take it off without touching it.
Did you see the pictures of the NGO staff trying to care for the sick in Africa?
All they had were gowns, gloves and masks.
To the best of my knowledge they had no decon procedures or clean rooms...they were in fact in a tent outside.
Stories to the effect that these two Americans had hazmat suits and were infected somehow in spite of the protection are just nonsense.
They came in contact somehow, and due to the numbers I am thinking that their quarters became contaminated by one or more sick aid workers..
The only people spreading distortions are the usual collection of pansy azz chem trail, “plum Island” conspiracy peddlers in their pajamas.

The doctor was working long hours in a hot environment; he may have simply pushed his PPE past its recommended limits. It would only take a minuscule quantity of virus contaminated liquid to permeate the suit, and only a tiny break in his skin to allow the virus entry. I think everyone has tiny breaks in the skin, since minor injuries happen constantly, unnoticed.
I do not know if this applies to the doctor, but I have read that a worker in the decon area in which Nancy Writebol (the assistant) worked came down with Ebola and continued to show up for work while symptomatic (he has since died). So, in the area where virus was supposed to be destroyed, someone was actually spreading it.
