I agree.

Then we have these two nurses who are building up a viral load and once they hit late stage infection will be shedding virus like crazy, thus their caregivers will be at a higher risk of contracting it.

Hopefully health care givers learned from the mistakes that took place in Dallas and are taking extra precautions with the care of these two nurses.


I note CDC hasn't been able to update their Liberian statistics since the 14th.

"Case Counts*

*Case counts updated in conjunction with the World Health Organization updates and are based on information reported by the Ministries of Health.

As of October 14, 2014
(Updated October 20, 2014)
Total Cases: 9216
Laboratory-Confirmed Cases: 4218**
Total Deaths: 4555**

**Numbers are lower than actual laboratory confirmed cases and deaths because stratified data are temporarily unavailable for Liberia."

This is meaningful to the degree that they may actually being losing what little control they have in that nation, which means the risk of a traveler starting the whole Dallas scenario over again may actually be running higher than the low estimate of only 3 infected travelers per month.

It is, needless to say, a mess.
