Texas Officials Say 80 People May Have Been Exposed To Ebola Patient: Report

19. It's outrageous

And saying that they're being quarantined at home "even though they aren't showing symptoms". Well, DUH. Of course they aren't showing symptoms yet when the average window between exposure and symptoms is 8 - 10 days and can be as long as 21 days.



Meanwhile, these people are at home with their families using the same bathroom, the same tube of toothpaste, someone is probably doing the laundry of the person in the family that might become symptomactic... and what happens if they do become symptomatic?

All Mr. Duncan did was help to carry an Ebola patient by her legs, and he became infected. Now these people that have had direct contact with Duncan while he was symptomatic are only staying at home using the same toilet, toothpaste, dishes, furniture, etc. when they are probably likely to become symptomatic.

It's ludicrous that they aren't in strict isolation.
