what is remarkable about this outbreak was and continues to be the percentage of health care providers at all levels contracting the disease.

Overconfidence in personal protection. Look to Youngor Jallah and her family. Plenty of contact there. She went on sunday (Sep 28) and took his temp and BP, sat him up in bed and fed him hot tea. She was conscious of cleanliness and disinfected the apartment afterwards (days before the state Texas got around to it). She had zero protection, but was just very careful (trained as a nurses aide).

She is in day 8 after contact. Duncan had symptoms on day 9 and was obvious by 10/11. So she has a couple days to go and then we will know if she got infected back on that Sunday or not.

“Look to Youngor Jallah and her family”

I also read when she followed the ambulance to the hospital, she took the blanket she had been wrapping him up in. She apparently tried to give it to the paramedics because he was cold but they would not allow it in the ambulance. I would have thought we would have heard more about her and her family. In fact the last report I read about her was an interview where she was saying CDC was pretty much leaving her out to dry.
