At this point a lot of Freepers are thinking, "excuse my language, but how in the **** are the hospital personnel contracting this while supposedly in protective gear but Duncan’s family is not infected while interacting unprotected with his bodily fluids????"

The answer to the question is shown below. The woman in the protective gear is/was wearing the CDC's recommendation for protective gear.

Think of the VA and its problems when you think about the CDC. Both are controlled and staffed by liberals, who really aren't that concerned with doing their job properly. They are concerned about increasing their budgets and span of control instead of good results.

Thanks to Black Agnes for posting the link to this picture last week.

bgill has some scary photos of how well trained (not) our front line care givers are/were.

“A single inadvertent slip can result in contamination,” Frieden said. “In terms of safe and effective care, we had already begun several days ago to ramp up the education and training of health care workers at this facility.”

He also explained we must maintain a balance in the use of personal safety equipment adding “putting more on isn’t always safer. It may make it harder, to provide effective care.”

Thank you! The question why the family and first emergency room handlers have not contracted and how a nurse in protective gear has contracted has been driving me nuts. Could the nurse have handeled blood and the others just contact with bodily fluids?
