But this nurse is totally symptom free and even if she is incubating the virus but it hasn't yet made her sick, she could not be contagious to anyone else. She's not contagious unless she's so sick that she is producing copious amounts of fluids and some of the fluid somehow gets into someone else's body and that's just not possible now.
What about Nina Pham, Amber Vinson and Dr. Spender's doctors and nurses who are at high risk every moment they were/are around them for hours every day? Are they riding subways/buses, going out to eat, to movies, dancing, bowling or into isolation tents once they leave the isolation ward? I think they are going out into the public. If not, what the heck is the difference, Gov. Christie, Gov. Cuomo and Gov. Quinn? I don't understand their science.
What about all the prior treating doctors/nurses for Brantly, Writebol, Duncan, Sacra, Mukpo, returning Doctors Without Borders, SIM, Samaritan's Purse and other NGO doctors, aids and nurses treating Ebola who are out walking among us now and have been since Ebola first flared up in West Africa earlier this year? They've been going and coming to/from West Africa since then. How is it we all stayed well from them all this time if they are so "risky" to us?
