As I mentioned on a new thread - doesn't it seem strange that none of the family members caring for Mr. Duncan before he was admitted to the hospital are symptom free, but the nurses that took precautions are infected? Someone mentioned a doctor said the longer you have ebola the more contagious you are - perhaps that explains things.
