Not buying that one bit. You need to have direct contact with the bodily fluids to get Ebola. I've seen some of thos universal precautions you mention. They work if followed correctly. I've seen a few pics of workers with their medical suites rolled up. I've seen a story where the ambulance used to transport an Ebola patient wasn't sanitized for 2 days while it was left in service.
I was one of those who laughed at the hype over bird flu, swine flu and SARS as it was happening and pulled the piss outta people who believed it all but with Ebola I'm still on the fence.
The reason I say that is because the media is actually doing the opposite of normal .. ie all we hear is "don't worry, it's so hard to catch". But if this is the case why is it that medical professionals, several wearing a full bunny suit, still manage to catch it? Surely health professionals would take the utmost care - even though as far as I'm concerned it's common fucking sense to be ultra cautious anyway. Furthermore if it is so damn difficult to catch why should it matter?
