Humans spread bodily fluids a lot more than we tend to think (sneezing, moisture onto surfaces, sweat onto clothing, ... touching lots of stuff second-to-second). The range may not be far, but it’s not trivial - and the disease is extremely virulent once a tiny amount manages to touch you. Spending any time in an infectee’s home has distressing odds of you touching something he touched and left a still-viable virus on. With a 0.06 micron size (IIRC), won’t take much of an entry point on your skin to infect.
Yes that is a human body fluid.
However, this Ebola is measured at .08 microns in size.
So you may not get the bodily fluid, but YOU WILL GET the Ebola.
He was in the apartment, walked on the floor, and probably bumped into one or more contaminated surfaces. Then he went home and undressed without taking normal Ebola precautions. All of that puts him at serious risk.
We all know someone who sprays spit as he talks....I can recall getting flack like that right in my eye...what if that idiot can expose us? I have no confidence that they can contain this. I would love to be proven wrong. But so far, it’s like the Keystone cops are in charge.
I pray this police officer does not have Ebola and will recover unevenfully.
