There's just too many of these health care workers getting Ebola. It's been long enough since the first one got Ebola to assume they're being very careful about precautions. Isn't it time to assume that Ebola is being transmitted in ways that weren't expected?

Can't wait to here the "reassure the public" spiel in tonight's news.

I don't think so. There's a doctor from my town here in Washington State serving in Liberia right now. In photos, he appears to be wearing makeshift personal protective gear, similar to this:

The degree of protection isn't anything like a Level 4 containment suit, and breaches or errors during removal are not uncommon. Decontamination has to be done according to strict protocols with no variances.

Fortunately, he hasn't been infected and we pray isn't ever.
