The incubation period is not up yet for Duncan's family members. We don't know if they are in incubation period and will get symptoms until incubation period is over.
I agree although would be nice if there was a direct comment about how they are doing - and there has been no comment - unless I have just missed them - which is possible - opps while I am typing I am listening to briefing and he says no one, of tne the original 48, is showing symptoms

They should still be under quarantine!!! Their 21 days are not up! I'll be mad if this is true.

Since the incubation period hasn't expired, HOW did JJ manage to get the mother and nephew out of quarantine in Dallas and drag them to Chicago?

I believe this is probably the result of inadequate training, alongside a lack of preparedness and perhaps improper equipment.
If Nigeria - with it's huge population - can contain ebola, the U.S, UK, rest of Europe, Australia etc. should have no problem in doing so. Nigeria were already in a good position due to their polio eradication initiative, meaning that they were much better organized, even with a poorer health infrastructure. Maybe we should take the lead from them for now.

I don't think they met with Mr. Duncan when he became sick.
I would agree except for the fact I don't think they could have kept it secret. I would be willing to bet that reporters have been camped out at every hospital in Dallas hoping to get a scoop. In addition I believe that someone would have either accidently or on purpose leaked the info by this time. JMO
This article is referring to his mother and nephew who never came into contact with him. I believe they visited the hospital when he was very ill, but could only watch him on CCTV.
Three more people were under observation for Ebola in a Madrid hospital, boosting the number being monitored for symptoms to 16. A nursing assistant infected with the virus remained in serious but stable condition Saturday.
The latest three are a nurse who came into contact with nursing assistant Teresa Romero, a hairdresser who attended to her and a hospital cleaner, all of whom were admitted to Madrid's Carlos III hospital late Friday.
Top US doctors: Hospital worker infected with Ebola by 'breach in protocol,' changes in handling patients are coming

Frieden announced a five-part plan “to prevent how this occurred from happening again" that includes the number of health care workers treating an Ebola patient being “kept to a minimum” and limiting the number of medical procedures performed on the victim.
He said Duncan was on kidney dialysis and respiratory intubation as “desperate,” life-saving measures.
The plan also includes examining how a health care worker removes protective gear, which Frieden said has “a major potential for risks.”

The biosafety levels referred to in that document apply to laboratories where people work with the actual virus/bacteria/microorganism and do not apply to hospitals. The CDC has separate guidelines for hospitals which are available here.Let's define Biosafety Level 4 (BSL-4) directly from the CDC doc - here (this doc includes very thorough definitions for each level of biosafety, a bit lengthy but worth understanding the differences): http://www.cdc.gov/biosafety/publications/bmbl5/bmbl5_sect_iv.pdf
Agents with a close or identical antigenic relationship to agents requiring BSL-4 containment must be handled at
this level until sufficient data are obtained either to confirm continued work at this
level, or re-designate the level.
As far as I know they have not downgraded the level for Ebola... so. There you go.
Anyone heard from the family's lawyers lately? Regarding a malpractice suit? Lawyers always have something to say!
