Think about this...
Guy is in a VERY small apartment in Dallas and has ebola. He is contagious.
Guy goes to hospital and infects nurses.
NOBODY in the small apartment has contracted the disease.
Odd isn’t it?
Have they developed an immunity to it?
How would anyone know they haven’t contracted ebola? You haven’t heard anything about them since they were uh... relocated, have you?

Since the relocation of the family seems to have a political
component, I wonder if there is a news blackout on the condition of Duncan’s family.
Its not odd if the virus is not airborne.
The virus is not going to walk through the walls.
The fact that no one else has gotten sick is evidence that the disease is not easy to catch.
But wait...that’s what people have been saying all along.
A few theories:
- Duncan knew he had Ebola, and his family kept away from him. Earlier stories said his niece was some type of nurse’s aid, and had ‘sprinkled’ bleach all over the apartment - so it seems like they had some degree of awareness.
- Nobody seems to have mentioned this as a possibility, but what if Africans are more immune than Americans and Caucasian Americans in particular. This theory was slightly torpedoed by this latest nurse (black) getting it. But isn’t it possible that genetically, Africans who survive Ebola and go on to procreate could pass on a degree of resistance? IOW, maybe the infection rate here could be higher than it is in Africa.
- I think this is the most likely: When Ebola patients get near death, they are spewing the virus to their environment. Quite literally with projectile vomiting. But also, I’m imagining Pig Pen from Charlie Brown cartoons - just swirling with skin cells, dandruff flakes, shed hair, sweat, etc. Makes it difficult to not get infected, just wearing a paper hospital gown.
