Something tells me that might fall under the category of transmittal via bodily fluids.  Anyone disagree?  Bueller?

Dallas Ebola patient vomited outside apartment on way to hospital

by Lisa Maria Garza

(Reuters) – Two days after he was sent home from a Dallas hospital, the man who is the first person to be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States was seen vomiting on the ground outside an apartment complex as he was bundled into an ambulance.

That’s correct.  One little tidbit you didn’t know: the man with Ebola went to the hospital originally and was sent home by hospital staff.  Now there’s some competence, eh wot, despite CDC warnings?

“His whole family was screaming. He got outside and he was throwing up all over the place,” resident Mesud Osmanovic, 21, said on Wednesday, describing the chaotic scene before the man was admitted to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday where he is in serious condition.

In my world, that’s called a clue.  And simultaneously, a serious Hazmat condition for anyone in that apartment complex.

What do you do with vomit?  Do you just kick it into the grass?  Do you move it around with your foot?  Will dogs come by?  Cats?  Children?  Do you wash it down the sidewalk with a garden hose?  Do you hose it into the nearest drain?  Do you splash it onto other persons or animals?  Wait a bit; it gets worse.

Texas Contacts 100, Citing Possible Links to Ebola Patient

by Kevin Sack and Marc Santora

DALLAS — Health officials in Texas said Thursday that they had reached out to as many as 100 people who may have had contact — either directly or indirectly — with a Liberian man sick with the Ebola virus while he was contagious.

Of those people, only a handful have been isolated, including family members and the medical technicians who rushed the patient, Thomas E. Duncan, to the hospital on Sunday. Most on the list are there simply because they had contact with people who had had contact with Mr. Duncan.

Initially, federal authorities announced at a news conference on Tuesday that Mr. Duncan first sought treatment at the hospital last Friday, Sept. 26, but that account has since been changed. The hospital issued a statement saying that the patient went there after 10 p.m. Sept. 25, when he was examined and sent home.

Where, as he was symptomatic, he was likewise infectious.

Neither the hospital nor the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explained how officials had gotten the date wrong and what effect it may have had on the investigation.

Despite the fact that the CDC already told hopitals to “be prepared for Ebola.”

Read the next two paragraphs very closely:

The woman who was hosting Mr. Duncan in Dallas told CNN on Thursday that she had brought him to the hospital the first time and twice told hospital workers he had been in Liberia. Still they sent him back with only some antibiotics to the apartment, where the woman was staying with one of her children and two nephews.

Over the next two days, Mr. Duncan began sweating profusely and had diarrhea. The sweaty sheets were still on her bed, she said. She put the towels he used in a bag but did not know what to do with them.

That apartment complex is now a Biosafety Level 4 area.

However, it appears to get even worse.  I found this on UK media, from the UKDailyMail.com:

– Hospital sent sick Mr Duncan home on Thursday at 10pm — THREE DAYS before he was rushed in and not the two days initially reported by hospital
– 100 people being sought who had possible contact with Duncan — 12 have confirmed contact including five children
