Fatigue is common, is a sign of flying across the ocean, of working too long, of not getting enough rest, of a lot of things. The Fatigue associated with ebola is commonly knock you down unable to stand type and as far as I can tell, neither of them had that.
Anyone who says "no risk" is foolish, of course "negligilbe or minimal risk" is appropriate. There is minimal risk of a meteroite striking me on the head tonight, but not enough risk for me to be wearing a helmet.
Yes, there will be more ebola in the USA, of that I am very sure.
"The fact that no one has gotten Ebola in the US until now, or that none of the health care workers or returning travelers resulted in ANY infections is not convincing, especially since we now have 4 cases." 2 came to the USA exposed and infected (Duncan and Spencer). 2 were exposed and infected cleaning up Ducan's vomit, diarrhea, highly contagious dead body without adequate protective gear.
We have had ZERO cases of anyone in the USA getting ebola from ANY of the returning health care workers or travelers. ZERO. None. Zilch. 0.
We have NO cases of anyone in the community in the USA getting ebola from any returning health care workers or travelers. Not 4 cases. None.
All 3 health care workers adequately monitored themselves and no one has gotten sick from them. The ONLY people in the USA who have gotten ebola here are 2 nurses working in highly contagious situation. NO ONE in the community. None.
