re: confirmed ebola in NYC.

It continues to baffle me that a supposedly highly trained medical professional -in this case a Dr. Without Borders volunteer returning from the very thick of the African pandemic- just runs through one of the most populous cities in the world, sticking his nose-picked fingers into bowling balls like it's no big deal.
Same with the nurse just up and jumping on crowded, confined-space airplanes after slopping through an Ebola patient's effluents.
I mean, OK, so catching Ebola requires some sort of exchange of bodily fluids. But why would folks who are medically trained and have been in DIRECT contact with this crap insist upon proceeding as if perfectly normal?
Seems like cavalier behavior to me.

Jesus Christ you only catch it through non saliva bodily fluid transfer in like the last stages of the disease. Everyone who has caught came in contact with Ebola patients who were dying basically. Not one person in the us has caught it via a person-surface-person transmission. And it'd be pretty hard to do so bc you'd have to ignore a big pile of vomit and blood.
Ebola is about as contagious as HIV is. So I guess this reaction shouldn't surprise anyone, bc at the height of the HIV panic people had the same mindset, touching or even being around something a gay person had touched was dangerous. It's understandable, but it's just as medically ridiculous
