This is Timeline (from the AP) listing the day test positive for Ebola:

Well, assuming that he couldn’t really spread it until symptoms showed up (an unlikely scenario, I know), he basically had 6 days from when symptoms began to diagnosis to spread the virus around to medical personnel, family and who knows who else.

We could be scrooooowed.

I heard that his initial attempt to seek medical care saw him turned away at the hospital (and I've seen that happen to other people with kidney failure or other problems only to be admitted 2 days later in worse condition).

Also I heard that he waited 24 hours in the emergency waiting area before finally being admitted the second time. How many people there were in sustained contact with him? Where have they since gone?
