He went to one medical facility and was then sent home. I figure a minimum of 6 health workers had close enough contact to become infected. I figure at least 6 more at this facility before he was off limits. Maybe 6 more “family members”. So a very conservative number of recent close, unprotected, contacts would be 18. Anyone’s guess as to how many of those actually wind up with Ebola. My guess would be 6.
If he was out and about, all bets are off.
Any who cared for him would have to have direct contact with body fluids....since there’s a cough with this, and we don’t know if it had gone that far or not...there’s just no telling how many in the staff could have been exposed with any certainty until they are tracked to see.....21 days from the time he was with them.
I guess all bets are off. Just found this:
“The Dallas Fire-Rescue crew that transported the Ebola patient on Sunday is now under quarantine. The city has activated its Emergency Operations Center on “Level 2: High Readiness” in response to Tuesday’s developments”
