True, true, I had forgotten to take that new tidbit into account, but I am skeptical of the sneezing or coughing theory. Then again, if I was anywhere near Ebola, I wouldn't be taking a single chance. Hopefully (and this is probably the worst case in which I've ever felt compelled to use that word) there was further contact than she was aware of nearer her eyes/mouth/nose and this transmission isn't occurring the simple skin-to-skin contact.
There has been a new disturbing development. A healthcare worker in Dallas was infected while treating Thomas Duncan. Like the Spanish nurse, it is assumed that there may have been carelessness, although she was wearing protective clothing.
