Here’s an article from National Geographic. I was trying to find another, more detailed and personal one - but this will do.
“Patient Zero” was in Liberia back in March. Two health care workers that treated him soon after. Then 3 or 4 relatives of them after that. One of them went back to their home 90 miles away. That family became infected. Etc.
Seven months later 6,500 people infected.
You do NOT need to bathe in their blood or urine to catch it. Sweat (fever) or spittle on a seat, rail, door, etc. and then wipe your mouth, nose, rub your eyes can transmit it.
Wash often, keep your hands away from you face. (Take notice of how often you use your hands on your face - it is a lot if you aren’t aware.)
