I would not be surprised if the next person to become infected will be someone who picks up waste and cleaning the room

Trained people who are really skilled at cleaning the room know how to avoid infection and keep things clean and sanitary. It's the marginal staff...the part-timers who can't afford to take a day off from work, maybe aren't all that bright or dedicated, who don't have a bond to the professional staff that are a problem.

This was my observation from being quarantined with the symptoms of swine flu (not swine flu) five years ago. It was when those top-tier professionals weren't on duty, not many protocols were strictly followed. And nobody can work 24/7. I wonder if there are enough well-trained and truly qualified top-tier employees to manage a hospital under constant threat of Ebola and all the other diseases that could get out of control.

It’s a nurse who’s number two. I still say they followed whatever protocol they were told to follow. But obviously that wasn’t enough.

The head of the CDC said this second person shouldn’t have been travelling. Did they tell her not to travel? I have a feeling he knows people on that plane were probably infected so, again, it will be the nurse’s fault for not quarantining herself. And by the way, if a nurse quarantines herself does that mean everyone who lives with her should quarantine themselves, too?

If trash was stacked to the ceiling, as is being claimed, lots of people were infected.
