But remember, EMT's use precautions with all patients and use various disinfection methods d after each patient, especially those with any symptoms of contagious diseases and/or losing bodily fluids while in the ambo, if for no other reason than to keep their crews safe. It's highly doubtful there is any reason for any patient subsequently transported in that ambulance to worry.
Dallas authorities are just quarantining the ambulance itself in case all known medical science has been wrong about Ebola's transmissibility qualities and likely for the optics of the situation. The know some patients would be afraid to get into any emergency ambulance unless they could see the ambulance which carried Duncan was taken out of service and parked where all can see it.
