Air conditioning also helps, if the healthcare personnel are wearing a lot of protective gear.

Heard a person interviewed, who noted that wearing a biohazard suit when it’s 90F-100F and humid in the hospital, and hotter in the suit, is a recipe for automatic, unthinking actions like wiping sweat out of your eyes - which is extremely dangerous when dealing with something like Ebola.

Probably the single most important way developed-world people can protect themselves from Ebola is to use lots of hand sanitizer if you use the bathroom on a plane or in an airport. That’d be the most likely route for it to be transmitted from a sick passenger to other passengers.

You definitely don’t want to use the jet’s bathroom and then eat a sandwich, or rub your eyes, without using Purell first.

To be extra-safe, take a shower as soon as possible after the flight, in case there’s ebola on yo’ ass.
