DQ I have been x-raying sick patients (even HIV positive ones) for 20 years. I have never been afraid until now.

I'm wondering what the difference in housing and hospitals are between the USA and Africa. Are their houses air tight like ours? I ask this because in the US air is trapped in our homes and we all breeth it. If a house isn't built air tight or have A/C then most likely the windows would be open allowing fresh air, less chance of breething an infected persons air. May sound silly but the un-asked questions could be important as we've not had to deal with Ebola here before now.
