The first really crazy thing was a guy with a hose washing off the Texas Ebola patient's vomit from a sidewalk while wearing no protection. The cameraman and Wolf Blitzer were saying how crazy this was because Ebola Vomit can give you Ebola just like a dead Ebola body or even sweaty sheets from an Ebola sufferers bed in Texas.
The second crazy thing was the Taxi driver in Monrovia, Liberia non-chalantly talking about carrying a pregnant Ebola sufferer and the Texas Ebola case around to hospitals. He said he wouldn't touch the pregnant woman because he knew something wasn't right. The cameraman and Nancy Snyderman might have touched the door handle or back seat of the taxi, however, and this might be how the cameraman got positive for Ebola too.
I think this is the problem with Ebola. It does weird things like give Ebola from vomit so that even if you are washing up vomit with a hose and the hose gets into a chunk of it and you touch that chunk rolling up your hose you can get Ebola (theoretically). If someone (like the cameraman) touches a seat where the pregnant woman was desperately trying to get herself admitted to a hospital they might get Ebola too.
No wonder this disease is spreading across Africa and hopefully not across the U.S. now too.
