Louise Troh....says she and her family are showing no signs of the deadly disease after a 21-day quarantine.
Why is that?
Why is that?
Good question. But privacy (or a cover-up) must be maintained.
We need to know everything about the epidemiology of this disease, the sooner the better. We also need to determine which factors contributed to resistance of family members. We also need to determine if some could be asymptomatic carriers (like Typhoid Mary).
I don’t believe it. Clay Jenkins is covering his a%&. It just doesn’t seem possible that a nurse in full hazmat gets it and they don’t. Something fishy going on.
Why is that?
That is because Ebola is not an airborne disease, but is spread by prolonged close contact. None of the family were in prolonged close contact with the index case.
The two nurses who got sick were apparently taking care of him without using proper PPE until he was diagnosed. By then, they had been exposed for 2 days. Nurses sometimes have very close contact with patients. There is no excuse for them not wearing proper PPE; that should be standard hospital procedure for dealing with any patient with an unknown disease.
