Uh, sure it spreads in Paleo world, fairly rapidly.

skip the medical advancement.

Our knowledge of disease and prevention and quarantine, as opposed to theirs culture of superstitions, is very advanced and people just plain know to practice good hygiene.

And no, there are not several legitimate ways(vague) for it to transmit.

It is transimitted by body fluid.

That is you must provide an entrance for the fluid to enter our body.

touch a drop of the virus, wipe your eyes, eat dinner, whatever and you might very well get infected.

Just because your community practices good hygiene does not mean every community does so, especially certain immigrant cultures who haven't left mush of that superstition and stuff behind. And while our "knowledge of disease and prevention and quarantine" may be high, it is far from perfect when it comes to actually being put into practice on a case-by-case basis.

I mean, the hospital where the Dallas victim went had just had an ebola drill to prepare for possible cases of ebola, but they still sent that guy home with some antibiotics.

Read the article about how the Dallas guy was vomiting on the street in front of his apartment, how the ambulance he rode in after that wasn't taken out of service for at least 48 hours afterward, how his girlfriend and other relatives he lived with weren't quarantined for several days after he was showing symptoms, and then didn't obey the quarantine until they put cops outside their place a few days later. There were lots of other mistakes that could have led to transmission.

Is transmission likely? No. But did is it possible? Yes, it's possible.

“Our knowledge of disease and prevention . . .”

You give too much credit to our hospital systems. The Dallas hospital screwed up royally by using modern documenting on a computer system and discharged this guy.

It doesn’t matter how much the director of this hospital brags about their top notch infection control used by their medical teams as he did in that first news conference with the cdc, if the nurses follow doctor discharge orders without sounding the alarm of possible Ebola.
