This is very scary, although it is only one case and the person infected was recently in an area that has been part of the outbreak, so they likely did not contract it in the US (and hopefully did not give it to anyone while traveling back here nor to anyone already here
One unique and terrible feature of the epidemic is the fact that doctors, nurses, and hospital staff are getting infected and dying at an unprecedented rate. The WHO has reported, as of September 22, that 384 health-care workers have gotten the virus and 186 have died.
That means 198 doctors and nurses can now work directly with the infected without protective gear, since they are now immune.
Not true LOL. It is difficult for medical professionals to protect themselves 100% when dealing with people who are infected and 198 have been able to protect themselves enough so they did not contract the virus
