Spanish nurse first to contract Ebola outside Africa

Madrid (AFP) - A Spanish nurse has contracted Ebola after treating two patients who died from the disease at a Madrid hospital, the government said Monday, in the first known case of transmission outside of Africa.

Health Minister Ana Mato said an emergency protocol had been put in place after two tests confirmed the woman had been infected with the virus, which has claimed almost 3,500 lives in west Africa this year.

It isnt making sense why medical people are contracting this if theyre following protocol, and ebola is only transmissible the way they say it is.

Something else is going on here. Everyone that comes into contract with someone showing symptoms gets sick. Why?

Valid question, but do we know they are actually following protocol?

A lot of people don't like to admit when they fuck up.

Just read an article on zero hedge where the CDC director said "in theory it could be transmitted by coughs/sneezing, etc", meaning theyre finally admitting it may ne airborne.

I would think that as it is a bodily fluid a sneeze could certainly be a method of contraction.
