1) This 21-day quarantine is certainly not foolproof. If you do not show symptoms of Ebola after 21 days of being in contact with someone who had Ebola, then there is a 95% chance that you will NOT develop symptoms. Say what? Yes, there is still a 5% chance you will develop symptoms AFTER 21 days. To get up to 99% chance of no symptoms, you have to go out 41-60 days, but even still, there is a 1% chance you may get symptoms AFTER 60 days of exposure. Chew on that.
2) If you have Ebola, you are not contagious until you are at "peak viral load" which is about Day 3 of your symptoms. So the first day you have a fever, you are not contagious.
That's about all for now, except for this:
