Nancy Writebol stated that she has no idea how she got Ebola and is positive that she adhered to all MSF protocols. She emphasizes that "We just don't even have a clue what happened"
It means one thing: something is being overlooked or underestimated. It could really only be two things: transmission by asymptomatic carriers and/or virus stays viable on surfaces much longer than it is currently believed. Apart of course from another terrifying possibility of a strain mutating and going truly airborne. By the way, what strain they both were infected with, the same one?
Could you also cite any studies showing that asymptomatic Ebola patients are not infectious and studies that shows the exact moment the patient becomes infectious?

Another interview is out today with Nigerian doctor who survived Ebola, she also states emphatically "After all, my contact with Sawyer was minimal. I only touched his I.V. fluid bag just that once without gloves. The only time I actually touched him was when I checked his pulse and confirmed him dead, and I wore double gloves and felt adequately protected.
Could you comment on that?
