This happened in Africa to so many health care workers died there also. So, hopefully the U.S. health care workers are faster on the uptake than they were or we are going to lose many health care workers at the diagnosis point in emergency rooms or doctors offices around the country.
Here is the problem: a patient comes in complaining of flu or Cold or diarrhea symptoms which doctors get day in and day out across the country year around even though this is just starting up for winter now most places.
How will they know which cases are cold and flu and which cases are Ebola?
Wearing rubber gloves will help a lot but what about when they take their gloves off or what if this patient coughs flem on the doctor or nurse?
So, I see this is a way where many doctors and nurses might become infected and this could be a problem for the U.S. because there is already shortage of doctors and nurses to begin with here in the U.S. if Ebola takes off and runs under the radar of governments and the CDC like it did in Liberia.
