You would think the family would have it first, but this could be one very unlucky deputy. I heard the deputies were told to help clean up the apartment. If he was ordered to clean up the apartment without the proper safety equipment this would make more sense. It's possible Duncan started staying away from the family and lived in one room when he was most contagious and this deputy was put in jeopardy when he helped to clean up. The CDC is a joke. Where were the procedures?
Supposedly, the custodian at the school was fired, because he bought hazmat equipment for his employees who cleaned the schools where the kids went before they were put in quarantine.
Didn't the nurses aid in Spain do the clean up as well?
As with any virus, it depends on your body’s response to it. I read that generally speaking, people who tend to survive Ebola seem to have a high inflammatory response.
Also, this virus has been ‘studied’ in a different environment and with people who have a different medical care experience than Americans-I wonder if that would throw a wrench into the predictability of Ebola’s behavior?
