Ebola has a special liking for pregnant women.

It does seem that way from several different reports, but I wonder if those instances were more likely to have been reported because it was a pregnant woman, creating a false impression.

If Ebola infection actually is a higher infection risk for pregnant women, then that tells us something else about the disease. There have been viral outbreaks in the recent past that were more risky for pregnant women.

It does indeed. First the baby crashes out and dies. Then mom miscarries. And never stops bleeding...

They probably want her to go to some other hospital when if she shows symptoms - Ebola patients can be expensive.

Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink ‘em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

So what else were they supposed to tell her to do?

There is no treatment.

This article isn’t clear. Was she at Harvard Vanguard at the same time as the Africa traveler and fears she was exposed? Or was she with this person?
