![]() And now one of his caregivers at the Dallas hospital has contracted Ebola from him. Not to worry, they know what thry are doing, nothing to worry about
![]() http://news.yahoo.com/state-health-o...102955708.html Dr. Daniel Varga, of the Texas Health Resource, says the worker was in full protective gear when they provided care to Thomas Eric Duncan during his second visit to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. Varga did not identify the worker and says the family of the worker has "requested total privacy." If the preliminary diagnosis is confirmed, it would be the first known case of the disease being contracted or transmitted in the U.S.

Fauci, Health and Human Services Secretary Syvia Burwell and Lisa Monaco, President Obama's top aide on Homeland Security, repeatedly noted the virus spreads only through direct contact with bodily fluids of patients with symptoms or with objects contaminated by those fluids.

![]() no, why would i be? the chances for someone in this country getting ebola is incredibly slim-the chance of getting it from someone is 'miniscule'.
i'd be more worried about the flu, or a car accident-both of which hit far more people every day than ebola does. and i don't worry about them either. 'Unless you exchange or come in contact with blood or body fluids of an infected person, you are not at risk for Ebola. This infection results from close contact with a patient who is at a late stage in the disease.' you cannot get it from casual contact. i haven't been to africa, neither has my spouse. we aren't in the health care field.
