I suspect that a lot of the hysteria about Ebola is similar to the hysteria surrounding AIDS in the late 70's. Then we had bigots who wanted to quarantine gay men, now we got bigots who want to quarantine Africans.
Have any healthcare workers contracted AIDS from merely touching their face after treating a patient or handling a corpse?
