a truck driver who customarily made the 370-mile (600-kilometer) trip from the forest region to the capital several times a month, has stayed put for three months because no one wants food from the southeast anymore, even though transmission through food is very unlikely.

Don't worry, it's very unlikely you'll die from food handled by an infected person but you COULD.

I’d be easy to get ebola by handling food products handled by someone with ebola. Not so much the food but the packaging could easily retain sweat or even blood, vomit, or feces.

Heck the typical gas pump handle has Ecoli on it.
