I hope this is NOT how the members of the Bellevue hospital staff will greet their new patient

6. You can't say truthfully that because we don't know what this doctor's viral load is,

or even if he actually has Ebola.

Assuming he has Ebola, his risk to his current caregivers IS probably low IF they are wearing proper protection (not as pictured) and IF he is not exposing them to fluids, and IF his current viral load is low.

But we don't know what the facts are yet. It's all just speculation.

I just hope these Bellevue doctors have learned from the mistakes of the Dallas ones and are following the new guidelines to the letter.

Though if he has Ebola, the question remains as to how he became infected, since he was using the DWB protocols.

The man was working with Doctors Without Borders in Guinea treating Ebola patients before returning to New York City on Oct. 14, according to a city official.

He told the authorities that he did not believe the protective gear he wore while working with Ebola patients had been breached.
