There's too many threads to keep track of, but I'll post this here.
If the medical personel is getting infected, they are either 1) not using full high-tech positive presure suits ("full gear"), 2) getting infected during decontamination, or 3) getting infected in a common area.
For item 2 above, imagine someone improperly taking off the gear. The outside of the gear would be contaminated. All you have to do is touch the outside of the gear and then rub your eye.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45799893 Another angle to consider is asymptomatic carriers infecting others. Asymptomatic infected have been confirmed with ebola before, there was a paper back in 2000 in the lancet. What we don't know is do non symptomatic infected people spread it around. Blood would be a given but that would be hard to contract like HIV, but do they shed via sweat/mucus/semen etc. Also makes me wonder if mosquitos can vector the virus or not... hope not.
