Hi, It is hard to tell the hype from fact.....but it seems the answer is no. Only really close contact with someone exhibiting symptoms is supposed to permit transfer of the infectious material. What I think we are seeing is that the hospital was not really ready to find and treat the illness. To much self confidence not enough preparation. Considering that it has been rampant in Africa for months now and they have virtually no in place way to stop the spread and only about 10K persons have gotten the illness means to me that it really is hard to transfer it. If it were easy, all of Africa would be dead by now.
