you are right ... this is the perfect test case.

but heres the deal. if these "walking zombies" with ebola were really very contagious - then the virus would be everywhere already. several infected people have gone thru international airports and traveled on airplanes. NOBODY in those airports, or on those planes, came down with the disease. so the chances are actually pretty low that people who were in casual contact with the infected doc ... do have this stuff. I haven't sat down to look at every activity he did. BUT unless he was pretty familiar with someone - the chances are that you are OK.

If the doc has got a girlfriend ... that might be totally different.

the thing about ebola ... the viral load in the patient during the incubation period is fairly low. so the chances of them shedding the virus, very small. and by the time the symptoms start showing, the patient is already feeling VERY bad. as in ... make tracks to the local hospital NOW. so that is helping a lot with this disease.

Let us know how this turns out, OK?
