One thing (among many) that concerns me is that this police officer wasn't on their "watch" list - he wasn't being watched for symptoms.
How many other people out there that came in some sort of indirect contact w/ Duncan aren't being watched and/or have been told they don't need to be watched? So they're just out there in the general public, going about their day-to-day businesses, until they come down w/ symptoms.
When the police officers were in the apartment, were they wearing coverings over their shoes? After they left the apartment, where did they go?
The article written by the nurse is definitely scary, & that's exactly the kind of thing I've been fearing in regard to Ebola reaching the United States.
People keep saying, "You have to come into contact w/ infected bodily fluids" & that it's not airborne. Like the article said, the flu & the common cold aren't airborne either, yet we all manage to catch those 2 things quite easily. Bodily fluid doesn't have to be a huge pile - it can be droplets. And droplets can be left on surfaces.
I do not think our country is doing enough to protects its citizens, & I'm not sure we can really believe what the CDC & gov't officials are telling us.
Regarding the poor dog in Spain... I hate that they euthanized the dog, but, on the other hand, it definitely shows a difference between how other countries' officials are reacting & how America's officials are reacting.
I seriously can't believe they allowed some poor guy to pressure wash the apartment w/o wearing protective equipment!
