Bad way to die.
The news is reporting that one of the nurses who cared for Eric Duncan at the Dallas hospital where he was treated has fallen ill and has tested positive for ebola.

She is reported to have been wearing full protective gear. So there must have either been some defect in her suit, or there was some error in proper procedure when sealing it, while taking it off, something sharp (like a contaminated hypodermic needle) punctured it, or something like that.
