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.

Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the diagnosis shows there was a clear breach of safety protocol and all those who treated Thomas Eric Duncan are now considered potentially exposed.
and all the people they come in contact with?

LONDON (AP) — West Africa could see up to 10,000 new Ebola cases a week within two months, the World Health Organization said Tuesday, also confirming the death rate in the current outbreak has risen to 70 percent.......
........Health care workers have also been hit hard by the virus. International aid organization Doctors Without Borders said that 16 of its staff members have been infected with Ebola and nine of them have died.

Yes, of course. Just like they gauged ISIS capabilities an d danger

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.

An ominous posting by a facebook friend who just happens to work in the animal sciences research department at U.Mad, in regards to how Ebola is being handled:

To have the expectation that you can contain Ebola, a BSL4 (Biosafety Level aka the Hot Zone) virus in a BSL1, 2, 3 environment is absolutely unobtainable and ridiculous. You cannot.

i'm not worried about it at all and don't get why anyone else is. unless one lives in one of the african countries, or is a medical professional there, i don't see why anyone is concerned.

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.
