i love her. >> pelley: and debora patta joins us tonight from johannesburg. debora, if the children aren't sick after the 21-day incubation period for the virus, what happens to them then? >> reporter: there's stale lingering stigma surrounding these children even after the 21-day incubation period. many of them remain in these care centers, which do their best to find family members or place them in loving home, but they're having mixed success because there is still a lot of fear surrounding children orphaned by ebola. >> pelley: debora patta reporting tonight. debora, thank you so much. in this country, hospitals have discovered another complication in treating ebola patients, and ben tracy has been looking into this. >> reporter: 140 55-gallon drums of contaminated material were removed from the dallas apartment where thomas eric duncan had been staying. the waste was incinerated this weekend at a facility in galveston, texas. >> go around. >> reporter: at hospitals nationwide, what to do with medical waste from ebola patients is largely an unanswered ques

simply took her to the nearest clinic, not one that specialized in treating ebola. >> pelley: debora patta reporting for us tonight from johannas berg, south africa. debora, thanks. many people are asking how ebola is spread and what happens in the unlikely event that they get it? dr. jon lapook has some answers. >> reporter: the disease can be transmitted when a patient's body fluids, like urine, vomit, blood, or sweat, come in direct contact with someone's broken skin or mucous membranes such as the lining of the nose, mouth, or eyes. as the ebola spreads in the body, it attacks the immune system and causes massive inflammation that can lead to damage of the lining of blood cells and organ failure. ebola is not spread through the air. the c.d.c. says there is high risk for exposure when someone has contact with blood or body fluids without appropriate important protective gear. low-risk exposure includes someone in the same household with a patient or someone who is closer than three feet to the patient for a prolonged period and not wearing protective clothing. shaking hands without pro

that's where we find debora patta tonight in monrovia. there is growing discontent with front-line health workers closest to the threat. what can you tell us? >> reporter: indeed, health workers are months of risking their lives on the front line in this battle against ebola are fed up and they are demanding danger pay. in sierra leone, bodies were simply left on the street after burial teams refused to do their work. they have since gone back to their posts but it remains one of the most dangerous jobs in the world and now here in liberia, health workers are threatening to follow the example of their west african neighbors and start a slow-down on monday. aid organizations here in monrovia are concerned that a strike could severely set back ebola containment at this critical juncture. this morning, we bumpe bumped io liberian president ellen johnson sirleaf during an impromptu walkabout at a soon to be complete ebola unit. she didn't seem unduly concerned about a strike saying this is a democracy and people were free to express their gri
