NY Ebola Infected Doctor Flew To U.S. By Way of Europe

19. Fatigue could have been anything . . .

. . . and he was apparently not so fatigued that he couldn't do a 3-mile jog. Sorry, but it is neither realistic nor fair to expect every health care worker who has contact with an Ebola patient to put his or her life on hold in the absence of clear symptoms, and fatigue was not a clear symptom.

As for riding the subway, consider this: if the immediate family of the man who died in Dallas -- who lived with him for four days in the same apartment while he was fully symptomatic, and were forced to remain in that same apartment for another five days after the man was taken to the hospital -- did not contract the virus (and they have all now passed the 21-day mark), and nor did any other of the identified direct contacts (who likewise have passed the 21-day mark) save for two of the nurses who treated him (who have now recovered), just how likely do you think it is that this doctor would have transmitted the virus merely by riding on the subway? Think about it.
