But the day will come when a patient does come in with Ebola and it hasnt been handled properly, as in what happened in Texas. And after confirmation it is too late, isn't it.
As a guess, the ambo's would already be properly cleaned between each patient. Ebola isn't the only really really nasty disease out there, there are many bugs which someone could catch which is far more easily transmitted than Ebola.
The thing with Ebola is that everyone imagines it's like in the movie outbreak (which apparently started off relatively accurate, but then got "hollywooded" after the first screen test), in which if someone coughs in a movie theater then everyone in that theater will die. The reality is that it actually requires direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, and that isn't as easy to do as "no news" is making out.
Yes, people whom deal with Ebola patients wear protection, this is to prevent accidental exposure whilst caring for the person since doing so in close contact it is likely that bodily fluids would come in contact, however it is not airborne, it can't become airborne, it is actually very difficult to catch it, it's just if you do catch it, the odds are you will die from it. (thus the protection).
During this epidemic, fear has been spread by two groups, the first is the media groups (news limited, I'm looking directly at you), nothing sells newspapers / advertising clicks that the threat of mass human extinction, and the name Ebola sounds really really scary. The second group whom should be told to shut their mouths is politicians of all political colours. The ones whom want to get their face on TV so whom will question our readiness, or worse claim that we don't have any protection against "terrorists with Ebola". (Serious Ms Lambie, link that phrase with one more scary sounding thing like they are arriving by boats and you'd have had the political scary sounding stuff trifecta) and yet whom don't have the first clue about the virus.
I am certainly no expert, and I might have drunk from the same jug of koolaid as the people developing a cure for Ebola / working on our emergency plan whom every so often do radio interviews (thus the source of my knowledge), but the way I figure it is they have done far more research that a news limited journalist looking to get an article written in only 20 minutes which is guaranteed to get some clicks for their advertisers.
