The person who died in Lagos worked in ebola research and, IIRC, in a hospital, so he got probably got it there.

I not sure that's true. From this article:

The man hospitalized in Lagos was a 40-year-old Liberian working for a West African organization in Monrovia, Liberia, according to the Lagos State Ministry of Health.

He arrived at Lagos airport on Sunday and was isolated in a local hospital after showing symptoms associated with the virus.He told officials that he had no direct contact with anyone with the virus nor attended the burial of anyone who died of Ebola.

Also:

Ebola typically kills 90% of those infected, but the death rate in this outbreak has dropped to roughly 60% thanks to early treatment.

Hurry! Instead of 282 million dead we'll only have 188 dead in the USA (if we all get early enough treatment)!

The one I’m thinking of might have been a different person...he had worked with either the virus or the patients, was very careful, but unfortunately got it and died after a few days in the hospital in Lagos.
