Well, it’s actually a bit more serious than that. Even if you cleaned up that vomit while merely gloved (like most cleaning people are today), it’s very likely you didn’t take all the precautions medics take to avoid Ebola infection. In fact, that’s how the doctors who were flown to the US got Ebola—their protocol wasn’t followed to the letter and they got infected.

If I were that janitor or cleaning lady, I’d be turning myself in to the local infectious disease hospital for observation.

If he threw up on the outside sidewalk it’s not likely that anyone really cleaned it up, other than a quick spray with the hose.
