You can't get Ebola walking around next to someone carrying it, you have to come in contact with fluids, so kiss them at least.
Also the high mortality rate works against it, since it kills most carriers rather quickly when they become most infectious.
So how did these two get it? They were trained to use all the correct procedures and equipment. Were they both messing around with body fluids or kissing Ebola victims?
Something doesn't sound right.

Sorry it sure doesn't seem as hard to catch as the media is claiming it is. IMHO they are down playing this deliberately for fear of stampeding the herd.
What difference does it make what their citizenship is? If you attempt to leave a country where something like this on the loose you pose a threat to others you should not be allowed to travel.
IMHO the people responsible for bringing the victim back here should be charged with bringing what equates to an potential bomb into the country.
Good lord they put people in prison for having a Swiss Army knife on an airplane.
They went there of their own accord, they knew the risk, they accepted the risk. Now they have to accept the consequences.
