Good question, and indicates that depsheriff may not be positive.
This incident will shed a lot of light on the disease:
1) If the sheriff has it, and did not come into contact with Duncan, then it would just about prove that the mantra that “you have to come into direct contact with bodily fluids to catch Obola” is a bunch of hokum.
2) If he has it, and the family doesn’t, then this raises a LOT of questions. My understanding is that the family used a lot of bleach to clean themselves after being near Duncan, but I can’t verify that. If so, then this will prove to be reasonably easy to deal with. If not, then why aren’t they infected and the sheriff is?
3) If none of them are actually infected, then it would appear that the CDC’s mantra about direct contact being necessary to contract Obola is true.
Any way you look at it, we’ll know in a couple of weeks for sure.
I’m curious about the lady who was walking by as Duncan’s vomit was being power washed into the street, and also about the member of the “highly trained hazmat crew” who had a bottle of blue Gatorade near the receiving end of the power washing spray. Let’s see if they get infected.
Unfortunately, I’m not too good at HTML, despite the pretty clear instructions in the HTML Sandbox...but the picture is the 2nd one down at http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/10/what-ebola-quarantine-photo-shows-person-delivering-food-to-texas-ebola-victims-family/
