It would still need an entry point, broken skin, eyes, nose, mouth. When the worker does things right, it works.

As I said earlier, it's easy to screw up, and Ebola is not C. Diff, it should be given better precautions because human error does exist.

I heard it can pass through non-broken skin - unlike AIDS?

But if if it required an entry point, all it would take is touching your hair or shoe with the virus then touching your mouth, eyes or nose.

No. HPV can pass through unbroken skin. Ebola can not. It should never touch your hair if you are wearing protective gear properly. You also should not have it on your shoes, if you do not wear anything on your feet you should decontaminate with cavicide or something similar. You also should not be touching your shoes and then touching your mouth as a general rule. If I tie my shoelaces I clean my hands while at work.
