It's not that hard to catch. Someone with ebola sneezes, hands a cashier a $5 bill. You get where I'm going with that. And the nurse who caught it just had to be someone that was going to travel across country immediately after. Wonderful luck

Stuff happens. What was it, 1918 the Spanish Flu killed over 100 million people, and it touched every country, even remote islands, including the U.S.
homie that was in 1918, when children worked in factories and doctors still used leeches and shit. i think it's going to be fine.

CDC wrote:Unlike respiratory illnesses like measles or chickenpox, which can be transmitted by virus particles that remain suspended in the air after an infected person coughs or sneezes, Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with body fluids of a person who has symptoms of Ebola disease. Although coughing and sneezing are not common symptoms of Ebola, if a symptomatic patient with Ebola coughs or sneezes on someone, and saliva or mucus come into contact with that person’s eyes, nose or mouth, these fluids may transmit the disease.
So to spread it that way, the infected person would have to cough directly into the face of another person, and even then there is only a chance it would pass.

Also:
CDC wrote:Ebola is killed with hospital-grade disinfectants (such as household bleach). Ebola on dried on surfaces such as doorknobs and countertops can survive for several hours; however, virus in body fluids (such as blood) can survive up to several days at room temperature.
So typical household cleaners will kill it, and even if the virus is on a common object, it will die within a few hours.

Now, if the infected person sneezed directly onto a five dollar bill, then handed this to a cashier, and the cashier had an open and possibly oozing wound on his or her finger or thumb, touched the wet spot directly on the five dollar bill where the infected person sneezed, and then rubbed the wet five dollar bill all over his or her open eyes, all over the mouth, and shoved it up his or her nose, then yes, Ebola could spread that way. So I suggest you stop doing those disgusting things with five dollar bills.

I expected something worse than nose right there.

Besides, what if surfaces stay juicy because of heat and humidity, you know like juicy packages. Also, "walking black plaque" + Sload Soap pic of black plaque = :lol:

Do you just like listening to yourself so much you refuse to even acknowledge that other people have spoken?

You know, I almost posted earlier "A nurse with ebola, a priest with aids, and a drunk with the black plague got on an airplane..." But I changed my mind. :P

You keep talking like she's just walking around naked, making out with people on her left, pissing on people on her right, and sneezing in the faces of babies as she walks around willy nilly on a road trip across the country.

If it's so hard to get, then how did not one but two nurses following protocol get it? I doubt they were "trying" to intake some of the infected guy's bodily fluids. Something went wrong.

If nurses in a hospital setting can get it, then anybody can, especially people who share a household with others.
They have escaped into the mansion where they thought it was safe, yet.
