Nurse's boyfriend admitted to hospital with Ebola symptoms
FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas nurse Nina Pham tested positive for the Ebola virus over the weekend. Pham was one of the medical workers who administered treatment to Ebola patient Thomas Duncan, who died from the virus last week. Pham first noticed that she had some of the symptoms on Friday, and her diagnosis was confirmed on Sunday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed on Sunday morning that one other person was in close contact with the nurse after her symptoms began to show. That person is now known to be an employee at the Fort Worth company Alcon. The company sent a message to all staff members, letting them know that one of their own was in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.

NBC's medical correspondent Dr. Nancy Snyderman has issued an apology after she reportedly violated the quarantine her team was placed in when their cameraman contracted Ebola.
During the NBC Nightly News broadcast on Monday, anchor Brian Williams read out the following statement from Snyderman:
"While under voluntary quarantine guidelines, which called for our team to avoid public contact for 21 days, members of our group violated those guidelines and understand that our quarantine is now mandatory until 21 days have passed. We remain healthy and our temperatures are normal.

You would assume the uneducated African people would spread ebola because they aren't going to obey orders, but we have educated American adults disregarding rules. Get ready for an outbreak in New Jersey and Houston.

People breaking quarantine?
It's only a matter of time until someone spreads it to some homeless man or drug addict who likely wont seek help. Homeless dudes wit ebola...
There was a homeless man who had been in the same ambulance as Duncan they made a big deal about a few days ago. Hasn't been mentioned since.

Woman saves three relatives from Ebola
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/25/health/ebola-fatu-family/
(CNN) - It can be exhausting nursing a child through a nasty bout with the flu, so imagine how 22-year-old Fatu Kekula felt nursing her entire family through Ebola.
Her father. Her mother. Her sister. Her cousin. Fatu took care of them all, single-handedly feeding them, cleaning them and giving them medications.
And she did so with remarkable success. Three out of her four patients survived. That's a 25% death rate -- considerably better than the estimated Ebola death rate of 70%.

I've been thinking the same thing. I feel like either I didn't read up enough about it or I'm missing something. On min It's hard to get the next min they're acting like it's easy to get like an airborne virus. Which is it? You can only get it from body fluids right?

What did she do with the bags though? CNN never getting the full story. That's amazing though.
