Those precautions work and you are safe because we understand the transmission vector completely...except that we don't...because even the CDC and WHO are currently "hypothesizing" the vector (their words).
And you're safe, and this is all silly over reaction....that's why the CDC just went to its highest alert posture, giving them more authority to act....
For West Africa, not here. http://news.yahoo.com/cdc-issues-emergency-hands-call-ebola-response-222611995.html
