Again, the solution isn't washing your hands. The solution (as long as Ebola doesn't go airborne) is to not touch or have contact with those with Ebola. Any contact increases the risk that this virus will pass to another person. Look how easily it spread to the 2 hospital workers in Dallas, even though they THOUGHT they were following the proper procedures. The nurse, Nina Pham, was known for being meticulous in following those procedures.
