“I noticed them walking over potentially sharp rocks wearing the easily damaged protective suits.”
Where did you see such a picture? The photo accompanying this article showed the doctor and an escort standing on concrete behind the ambulance that was parked alongside a walkway that is blacktop.
Beside the driveway and walkway there is a space apparently containing ‘potentially sharp rocks.’ There is no indication whatsoever that the doctor and his escort walked on those ‘potentially sharp rocks’ and unless the said doctor and his escort are as dumb as a box of rocks, one might surmise they walked, instead, on the concrete and blacktop.
The ebola threat is serious enough, there is no need to make up “stuff” to advance hysteria.
The point is he was walking.
Have you ever seen a medivac’d person allowed to ambulate THEMSELVES anywhere into a hospital?
If you could transfer him on a gurney with ZERO risk of stepping on a sharp rock and puncturing the containment suit why would you allow him to walk?
