Well there will likely be nurses involved in his care....and they are more likely women....sooo.....if I were you I would get far far away ASAP.

Is that because healthcare workers are inherently stupid in your opinion, or inherently suicidal vis-a-vis infectious disease exposure?
No, because medical professionals are dealing with them at the time that the disease is most communicable. As a matter of fact, almost no one else is typically dealing with an Ebola patient by the time they reach that phase (save some family members/caregivers in outlying areas with no familiarity with the disease). There is a reason there has never been a major outbreak in Freetown, Monrovia, Kinshasa, Conakry, or Lagos in the case of the (literally) African-American doctor. It's not some free-jumping airborne pathogen.

Yeah, but women make good nurses because they are conditioned to do what the male doctors tell them too.

Well however elucidating that response was, how's about we settle this. When this "outbreak" doesn't spread beyond West Africa, you send me a year's worth of my favorite reasonably priced single malt--Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve. And that's a year's worth on my scale.
If it does, I'll hire someone to wash your Prius for a couple of weekends.

Yea but it only takes one careless nurse to set off an epidemic...

It says are contagious whether the virus is present in blood, fluids, or organs.
That includes incubation, champ.

Probably a slutty one who contracts the virus and then bangs six dudes in one weekend. That's how the world will end. It all started with Eve, and it will end with a nurse named Miranda or something like that.

What's sad NC is he said he read the MSDs sheet and came to that conclusion.
Think about that, he read the right information, yet still retained false information. It's mind boggling

No, I didn't. I don't see what point you could be making other than (1) those diseases are also not considered airborne (though bubonic plagues has reportedly been transmitted by cough) and (2) none are a very significant threat to the general population outside certain places (HIV being the most serious in sub-Saharan Africa, but easily prevented and contained by the lifestyle choices). Herpes? Not much of a danger to anyone save newborns who don't have doctors capable of spotting it and performing a caesarian. Hep-C. I'll start worrying about that as soon as my heroin addiction kicks in.

Low degree of communicability does not equal invincibility. They are two very different things. The disease has a kill rate of 60-90%. That implies that invincibility is not really a consideration. It's fricking lethal. It beats all but a few relatively exotic conditions.
Somehow, however, it has only killed (ETA: 2300) people since it was identified almost 40 years ago. 2300, in the most abject and assbackward conditions imaginable.
Gee I'm no specialist in the field, but my mind is led to certain conclusions--which are apparently backed by near-consensus in the medical community (including that Emory article you linked). High rate of lethality, low rate of fatalities, generally primitive protocols for quarantine (at least when it first hit the scene).
Maybe I'm not seeing the acorns for the trees or the forest for the grass. Or something.
