The second Dallas nurse infected with Ebola has been cured and plans to appear on Tuesday at a triumphant press conference at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
The recovery of Amber Joy Vinson, who became infected with the virus while caring for Liberian patient Thomas Eric Duncan in a Dallas hospital, leaves only one person in America known to have an active case of Ebola.
That is Craig Spencer, the doctor who became feverish on Thursday in New York and was immediately transported to Bellevue Hospital. He remains isolated in what health officials have described as serious but stable condition. A boy with a fever tested negative for Ebola at the same hospital on Monday, but is being held for observation.
Duncan, who caught the virus in Liberia but became symptomatic only after arriving in the United States on Sept. 20, died on Oct. 8. Vinson and co-worker Nina Pham are so far the only two people known to have caught the virus from Duncan. Pham was also cured, and was released from an isolation unit at the National Institutes of Health on Friday.
Scores of other health workers in Dallas are still being monitored, as well as people who came into contact with Pham and Vinson. But Dallas officials believe that on Nov. 7 — if no one develops symptoms of the disease — they can declare their city Ebola-free.

Read the story of the Christian African nurse who recovered. She had no IV like the lucky patients here, so she would literally sit on the can and force down the liquid drink (forgo the name) that helped her survive.
YEah, I read that story. Drank gallons and gallons of their version of Pedialyte, basically an oral rehydration therapy. She willed herself, along with the power of prayer, and the protection of the Holy Spirit, from just laying down and dying. I think she said something like the ORT therapy helped as much as prayer did.
Ok, I didn’t realize that. I guess they can just jump out of their sickbed. wow, different.
maybe just maybe that is what our US troops who are
