37. It is completley lacking in detail. It doesn't say when the roomate had ebola.

It could have been before Hickox even lived with them, for example. We can infer that the person either died or recovered over 21 days ago. But had they died, that likely would have been included.

Hickox was last in SL on October 20, 2014. The roommate could have been infected and recovered before she live with them.

It also reads as if the roommate was also a health worker treating Ebola patients. It is in the paragraph discussing PPEs and infection risks for nurses.

In other words, it is of no significance whatsoever. It is used just to illustrate that sometimes nurses get infected without knowing exactly how (other than that they were regularly in direct contact with Ebola patients fluids).
