Have you touched an Ebola Patient’s Puke, Sweat, Sh*t, or Blood? If Not, You Don’t Have Ebola.

[Ms. Toad]

87. If she was sweating while she tried it on, for at least a short time it is a possible Ebola source.

It should be decontaminated. Thinking that other dresses in the store, with which she had no contact with other than the air she breathed, are sources of Ebola would be hysteria.

I am applying science and good communication. Being cautious about direct contact or direct contact with surfaces on which she may have deposited sweat or saliva, is not hysterical. It is the difference between the two extremes: "There is absolutely no risk" & "Everything three or four generations of contact out is a risk."

Risk is not binary, and in your vigorous defense of Vinson's actions, you (and others) are ignoring the real (albeit small) risk which she created by not staying put once she was symptomatic. And - creating a false sense of security that may encourage others to ignore early signs of Ebola (and do stupid things like hang out with large crowds of people in a small space) because they were told (as the workers who cared for Mr. Duncan were) that they were not at risk.
