A health-care worker who treated the man who died of Ebola has tested positive for Ebloa, despite wearing protective gear all the time. Although this doesn't prove that Ebola is a widespread threat, surely it contradicts a lot of what we've been told about how hard it is for the virus to spread, and how safe we all are because we have masks and stuff in our hospitals.

A Texas health care worker who was in full protective gear when they provided hospital care for an Ebola patient who later died has tested positive for the virus and is in stable condition, health officials said Sunday. If the preliminary diagnosis is confirmed, it would be the first known case of the disease being contracted or transmitted in the U.S.
Dr. Daniel Varga, of the Texas Health Resources, said during a news conference Sunday that the worker wore a gown, gloves, mask and shield when they provided care to Thomas Eric Duncan during his second visit to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. Varga did not identify the worker and says the family of the worker has "requested total privacy."
