We will.

The hospital was lax, no doubt.

Not exactly.

Thing is....wearing that biohazard suit is very uncomfortable. You sweat in it and feel hot. And removing it has to be done carefully...because some of the patient's fluid may splash on you in the process..(which is how the nurse caught the infection).

This article explains how the nurse could have caught Ebola.

Not clicking your link but I disagree and CDC disagrees with you too. The Nurses at the hospital disagrees with you too. My ex coworkers at the hospital also disagrees with you.

The hospital was lax.

Hmmm...what went wrong? There is need for serious investigation. I hope it's not a different strain that is airborne since they didn't have direct contact with Duncan. Even at that, they had on mask...unless there was a moment of weakness in both cases.

God will see them through.

We pray for the speedy recovering of the two nurses.

I thought some people are of the opinion that Ebola was designed by the US and the Drugs companies to reduced the population of Africans.
