A doc on Cavuto’s show today said if one stepped in Duncan’s vomit they would get ebola. Also, Duncan contaminants could be all over the house and a kid touching it. I read the article, reporter, who was told while in whatever country not to touch anyone, not to touch anything. They had bleach solution set up outside all buildings to wash before entering.
I do not buy the government’s crap on this.

*If* they were to step in the vomit with bare feet, and *if* the vomit contained traces of blood, then they could get Ebola by stepping in it.
Ebola typically is spread by direct physical contact. Most people who get Ebola either were at a funeral of an Ebola victim (funerals in Africa involve physically touching the corpse) or were caretakers of someone who got sick. In past outbreaks, kids living in houses of Ebola victims, who never had physical contact with the victims, did not get Ebola. If those kids have not had physical contact with the victim, they probably won't get Ebola.
I would hope the public health officials either bleached the apartment themselves, or instructed the inhabitants on bleaching it.
I believe what the government has to say, because I know that the government officials are reading the same scientific papers that I have been reading. And those papers are written by the people who have first hand experience with Ebola, either in a research lab, or in the field during an outbreak.
