I agree with you. It is looking like it’s at its most infectious in the later stages.

"It is looking like it’s at its most infectious in the later stages."

The Ebola virus transforms its victim into a soup of virons and water. Ebola would be most infectious in the final stage of disease, and the greatest danger would be to the health care workers attempting to care for the victim and to those handling the body after the victim has died.

Presbyterian Hospital Dallas seems to have done more to protect workers than the CDC recommended. The problem wasn't that protocols were breached, the problem is with the CDC Ebola protocols, which are straight out of the Reagan era.

This is the 34th outbreak of Ebola. So far it has killed more people than the prior 33 outbreaks combined. We -- and other Western countries -- are woefully unprepared for this.
