She didn't have symptoms during that time. Therefore it was not spread to other patients. I do think its ridiculous that she got on a plane after treating an Ebola patient just days earlier. If only the other passengers knee what she was doing earlier in the week.

They say its not transferrable unless there's symptoms...due to the low amount of virus in the body before symptoms show. But the virus is still in the body before symptoms show...meaning, hypothetically it could still be transferred. They also said it cannot be airborne...only transferred by body fluids. Well when somebody coughs/sneezes, don't body fluids get airborne?

The CDC director just said in the congressional hearing on Ebola "baring a mutation there is no doubt in my mind there will not be a large outbreak in the US." They have stopped multiple outbreaks in africa before. The CDC has professionals that spend there while careers on ebola. We are good.

But in Africa the people don't drive or fly all over the damn place. And with an incubation of 21-44 days who knows.
