I am not sure what your point is.

I am a medical researcher. I know what kinds of PPE need to be worn in the lab; I've lectured many times on proper PPE and hand hygiene.

My comment was to highlight the fact that if someone is working in a lab without using the proper PPE, there is a serious breech of protocol.

People only get infections in the lab if they are careless or not using the proper PPE. Handling an infectious sample that is contained within a sample tube while wearing proper PPE does NOT put a lab worker at risk of catching a disease.

What I see described in the article is a lot of irrational overreaction to a non-exposure. I can think of a lot of people--Ebola researchers--who would never be allowed out in public if handling samples in sealed packages made them a risk for transmitting Ebola.
