The WHO put out a press release a couple weeks ago [1] talking about why so many doctors have been catching the disease. Basically, it's a lot bigger than prior outbreaks and is catching people off guard, doctors are working themselves to exhaustion, making themselves more likely to make mistakes, and it's hit urban areas, meaning it's exposing a lot of underequipped medical professionals to the disease. Knowing better doesn't always translate to being able to do better. [1] http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/ebola/25-august-2014/en/ http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/ebola/25-august-2014/en/
