A second Spanish nurse who treated him has been quarantined. No fever, but diarrhea.

Maybe they're figuring it out.

First nurse changed a diaper and removed wasted from his room. Fecal matter has very high viral load.

"In addition, a second nurse who also treated the priest who died Sept. 25 was put into quarantine after experiencing diarrhea but she did not have a fever, the most common initial symptom for Ebola. And a Nigerian man who recently arrived in Spain was also under quarantine but tested negative for Ebola in his first test."

"About 20 health care workers at the hospital protested Tuesday amid claims by nursing union officials that Spain was not giving them enough training and the most modern Ebola protection equipment."
