“Drs and nurses in africa do not largely avoid this. It has decimated their ranks...”

Exactly, this article is ridiculous insofar as it’s comparisons of modern health care with “healthcare” in West Africa. It makes the whole article lose credibility.

On a per case basis, health care workers in W. Africa have been far more successful at avoiding this disease than have those in the US. And it isn't even close. Had they behaved as lackadaisically, and with as little common sense, their health care workers wouldn't have lasted days, let alone months. As pathetic as it is, their level of responsibility has far exceeded ours (although they have virtually zero resources at their disposal, whereas ours our essentially limitless).
