I am not sure if this is legit, but the Youtube user Bourbon cowboy showed how water, and potentially blood, vomit, and other materials, if in large enough quantities, will seep through most standard nurse attire. It’s pretty disturbing. If they were going to bring in possible infectees they should have had proper preparations to accomodate this. Heck, they should have placed people coming into the hot zone under quarantine just to be sure that they did or didn’t have ebola.
Here’s the actual video, where Bourbon Cowboy shows you the real danger that hospital staff were on by the garments that nurses and doctors wear.

I’m not sure why the Youtube guy thought it was necessary to demonstrate this.
Standard nurse PPE is intended to protect against particles and droplets. It doesn’t even claim to be waterproof. Never has.
You can look up the ratings yourself.
