And yet, somehow, the taxi drivers are not all dead. [View all]

Here they are, Liberia's de facto ambulance drivers, shuttling Ebola sufferers around the city, from clinic to clinic, and often back home to die. Within easy striking distance of a cough, a sneeze, or projectile vomiting, breathing the same air as the infected.

Yet, there has been no mention of them being stricken to the same extent as the health care workers receiving these same patients. How can that be? The taxis are often mentioned in news reports, so it's not as if the press isn't paying attention to them. Conspiracy? Or are the reports of transmission only via significant and direct exposure to infected fluids actually true?
