Ebola is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids of a sick person or exposure to contaminated objects such as needles. People are not contagious before symptoms such as fever develop.

You know, every time I have been to the Dr. the past 30 years, it seems precautions against any kind of bodily fluids has been practiced. So how would a trained health professional under these circumstances catch it?

I don't think our government is telling us the whole story.

It was described that Duncan was throwing up wildly and had uncontrolled diarrhea — not sure what when on that the hospital but he could have been covered in bodily fluids... and spewed some more in the hospital.

Good point, but “bodily fluids” includes cough, sneeze, spittle at a range of about 3 feet or less. Also “health care worker” could be anyone...could be the receptionist at the ER or an orderly that cleaned up the room after the initial ER visit before they knew Mr. Duncan had Ebola.
