A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has tested positive for Ebola after a preliminary test, the hospital said in a statement.
Confirmatory testing will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
The employee helped care for Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States. Duncan died on Wednesday.

Don’t forget that it’s hard to get infected with ebola. /s
Well, there goes her dog.
US health care workers are going to be up in arms....
shown here with Obama celebrating the $190 millions that the Dallas Baptist church got for housing illegal alien children from South America.
....maybe they could chip in (no pun intended) a few bucks towards the care of the hospital workers.
The big man himself shopuld go to Texas, shake hands, and offer condolences to that health care worker. After all, it’s only “body fluids” that one has to worry about.
Whether they did a reasonable job of containing it once it was here and despite a comedy of errors, remains to be seen. But they failed letting it into the country in the first place.

Prayers for this person.
That pic reminds of dogs that are so excited they pee themselves. I think Clay Jenkins may be doing that or something similar from the looks of that picture.
15 days not 21...
Great and now I wonder of all the past ER patients that nurse treated after Thomas. Obola the gift just keep giving.
BREAKING NEWS: Texas health care worker who treated Ebola patient tests positive for the disease
“”This is not an easy thing,” ( Elizabeth )Cohen said. “Keeping track of large numbers of people, taking their temperature twice a day, making sure they don’t ... leave town, all of that is a lot of work.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well.....Elizabeth.... Get WORKING!
Our government is lying to us, also. According to Mosbys Medical Dictionary, Ebola virus disease: ...secondary infection is by direct contact with infectious blood or other body secretions or by airborne particles.
Airborne particles are the key words in this definition. Folks need to start paying attention.
Obama is toast ...
Is the address of the hospital, treating the patient, known? Don’t know if this question is important but curiousness of hospital address appears lacking. If have missed the address of the hospital, in the reports, my apology.
Will they be monitored the same way those entering the country will be? Will they fill out their own health assessment? Will they take their own temperatures? Gee! I feel sooooo much better that they are being “monitored”. /s
