Some more interesting details from the article I forgot to link to [1]: - The number of ~ 100 people who may have come into contact with the fellow with Ebola does not include secondary contacts. - Hospitals may not necessarily dispose of waste material for Ebola patients due to conflicting guidance from different federal agencies, so it may just be allowed to pile up. - Family members of the fellow were directed to stay at home but violated the order. - A family member of the man who went with him to the hospital the first time claims that he emphatically told workers that he had been in Liberia. This piece of information was not passed to the doctors who diagnosed him and sent him home; apparently they were confident enough in the entrance examination that they saw no need to follow up with the question on their own (this sounds a lot like the doctors passing the hot potato on to the nurses to avoid blame).
