The reason this is so ominous is not because these health-care workers may have infected someone else in the time before they were isolated — that is not highly likely, since they were immediately isolated at first symptoms, and were undoubtingly in home quarantine anyway. This localized outbreak in Dallas is likely to be contained.

The Dallas nurse's boyfriend is in isolation for monitoring. If he gets sick, then he will have gotten it from BEFORE she was symptomatic, because she went right in at the first indication of fever.

Good point. I wonder what their excuse will be if he comes down with it?
