The “special suits” are basically a $2 pair of rubber boots, and some plastic cheapo suit, with a head covering of plastic, and a google-like covering for the eyes, and a 50-cent mouth covering.
Based on comments....you sweat like heck as you wear this all day. I would suspect that your suit gets ripped somewhere during the process of the day, and your sweat gets a dose of Ebola, which somehow gets into your system.
In these poor African countries, they can only afford the cheap suits and under-equipped facilities. When the health-care workers are in jeopardy that is a recipe for disaster.
That's the difference between suits that real people use in real epidemic and the suits that select few use in level 4 biosafety labs. There are only 15 (fifteen!) BSL-4 labs in the USA, and one would imagine that most of them are not intended for treatment of large number of infected people. Those labs use air pressure control to detect damage to the suit; but even then workers may injure themselves with sharp tools that they use in their work. Those labs are NOT going to be available to common people. Ebola requires BSL-4 as it is highly lethal, has no vaccine, and is highly infectious. In other words, there is not enough facilities to reliably deal with an epidemic. There is a hope, though, that Ebola will not find suitable non-human hosts outside of Africa.
