Carol – you interviewed Dr Gupta this morning. He said Ebola is not transmitted in the air, only if you get bodily fluids on you. And he said of course the doctors at Emory Hospital are completely covered up. Doesn't anyone wonder how Dr Brantley got infected? Surely he knew the protocol and was completely covered? Surely all the other doctors were completely covered up? Today a new doctor in Nigeria is infected with Ebola. Surely he knew the protocol and was completely covered up? Why isn't any journalist asking how these doctors are becoming infected?
