The news from this morning suggests that just taking a picture of someone with Ebola gets you there. I'm being sarcastic but yeah, I think we will find out that transmission is easier than has been said - and that's very bad news.
It doesn't stop at just contact or proximity to the person. It's what they've been in contact with such as clothing, sheets and so on. I agree with the comment early that such things should be immediately incinerated. This should be standard protocol for all proven cases. This includes any sort of non-hard surface furniture. A metal chair can be disinfected but anything with a cloth cushion is not worth the trouble it would take to disinfect it. I'd be burning the beds as well. Sweat soaks through sheets, as does any body fluid. Now is the time to move to serious protocols like this.
