There was a doctor on Jeanine Pirro’s show on Fox this past Saturday who indicated that the current guidance is based upon 1600 cases from previous outbreaks. He stated that none of the guidelines are based upon data from the current epidemic. His position is that we do not know enough about Ebola virus in general; and, particularly, the current epidemic to make absolute statements regarding it's communicability.
I note that Dr Brantley has stated he does not believe that he became infected while in the Ebola ward treating patients or while being decontaminated. He believes he contracted the virus somewhere else; which, to me, implies he either became infected from a contaminated surface or a patient infected w/Ebola that was asymptomatic. (He stated that when he was treating non-Ebola patients that he did not wear full PPE.)
Thank you for that information.
