They DO have better protection.
In comparison with every other agency treating this disease, this number of cases is miniscule.
It’s a bsl4 disease. MSF treats it using enhanced bsl3 protocols. That’s usually effective. They’re either getting caught up with the sheer number of cases, finding defects in suits due to much greater numbers of those being used, or something is ‘different’ with this particular outbreak and the strain of ebola.

Thanks for the info. Any idea of their numbers? If they have 160 people in Sierra Leone then 16 cases would be 10% which isn’t too bad considering the lousy working conditions and high caseload.

I heard this rumor: "Of the 16 MSF staff infected, 14 were local doctors, nurses, and technicians. Those 14 are all believed to have been infected when they went home to their families and not on the job. Only two were infected at work."
Think there is any truth to it?
