Unfortunately they weren’t in an *appropriately* sterilized environment...

The protective gear was simply a gown, gloves, face-mask, and face shield. No shoe covers, no head covers, and it appears that there was inadequate decontamination training/practice.

That said, a lot of the panic-type responses are indeed over the top. The enterovirus going around is far more of a danger for those not actually handling infected ebola patients.

I had no idea the health care workers in Dallas were so poor covered

I agree with those who say knowledge is key /irrational fear is an enemy while a healthy dose of fear can insure diligence...
