You don’t have to “swap bodily fluids” with an infected person in order to contract Ebola. It’s not like AIDS, much more virulent.
As far as we know, it has not yet gone airborne. However, it does live on surfaces.
We have two Americans currently suffering from this strain who were in full protective gear when exposed. Ebola is highly communicable even to those trying hard to avoid it.
From Gaffer’s CDC link:
“The prevention of Ebola virus infection includes measures to avoid contact with blood and body fluids of infected individuals and with objects contaminated with these fluids (e.g., syringes).”
I think most Americans are safe. Heck, with Obamacare it may even be safer. As in “take a number and we’ll call you when we’ve scheduled your emergency room appt.” And that’s before the ambulance and hospital union rules on contagious diseases kick in.
