We are all going to find out real quick just how contagious this disease really is. If the ambulance people and a nurse or two catches it- or another patient whose lungs were listened to with the same stethescope, then we'll know. The family is fairly expected to catch it, so we'll see about that as well. This unfortunately is going to show each and every weak link. I've been to Haiti, which could be somewhat similar to Africa, and I agree the US is far better equipped to handle anything of this sort, but the reality also is that hospitals are absolutely filthy places.
