Well if someone can get Ebola by simply having a portion of their skin exposed, then I would say this disease is highly contagious and it isn’t a fun way to die:
LANDING TO DEATH: TIMELINE OF EBOLA’S FIRST VICTIM IN THE U.S.
Sept 19: Duncan flies out of Monrovia, Liberia
Sept 20: Lands in Dallas, Texas, after changing
Sept 24: Duncan starts experiencing symptoms
Sept 25: Goes to Texas Health Presbyterian hospital in Dallas - but is sent home
Sept 25-27: Symptoms worsen at home

Sept 30: CDC confirms Ebola diagnosis
Oct 1: Sepsis sets in - but Duncan tries to stay upbeat, asking to watch a movie. He asks to eat solid food, but changes his mind.

Oct 7: Family continue to watch Duncan via close-circuit cameras
Oct 8: Early in the morning Duncan’s heartrate slows to less than 50 beats per minute.
At 7:51am he is pronounced dead
Sept 29: Beset by projectile vomiting and diarrhea, Duncan asks to be put in a diaper
Sept 30: CDC confirms Ebola diagnosis
The Dallas hospital employees in contact with Mr Duncan should have been wearing PPE as of the 28th. On that day the CDC was "warned of possible Ebola case". The hospital suspected Ebola but waited for confirmation from the CDC before enacting "protocol ". They won't make that mistake again. And neither will any other hospital in the USA once Obola reviews what went wrong there and shares it.
