Spanish Nurses Union is going bananas over this. The "isolation unit" of the hospital the priests were taken to was a regular room with police tape on the door.
Meanwhile, Spain has hospitalized 3 more people suspected to have contracted Ebola, while still trying to find people the nurse may have come in contact with.
Sounds like it’s air borne. If so, we are in deep shite. The infection rate has just jumped from 1.87 to 3.0. If that trend continues, we will hit the 1B infectied mark by June 2015.
That entire hospital is infected now. Stupid apes
The headline is 180 degrees off the actual statement in the first sentence...
It’s not airborne. Now, actually, she’s admitting that she did touch her face when taking off her suit. There’s supposed to be someone else watching when they remove their suits, but I think she was alone at the time, from what they’ve said.
It also turns out that the sequence of events and hospital visits is different from the first account (given by her husband). She’s apparently doing well and is able to be interviewed now (at least by the doctors). All of the other people recently put in isolation have tested negative.
BTW, she received a serum made from the blood of a patient who had recovered from it, a missionary nun in Africa.
Guess yer gonna have to burn the bio/haz suits off, just to be safe...
FYI
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
