University of Nebraska Medical Center Chancellor Jeffrey Gold said during a Thursday press conference that the Nebraska Medical will treat a patient with Ebola virus. The patient is Dr. Rick Sacra, a missionary who was serving in Liberia, according to SIM, a North Carolina-based charity. He is expected to arrive Friday morning at the med center's Nebraska Biocontainment Patient Care Unit, Gold said. Gold said the med center was contacted 48 hours ago by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services about treating an Ebola patient. "The biocontainment unit is built for this sort of event," Dr. Phil Smith said Thursday.

A lot of us figured this would happen several weeks back when it was announced that the CDC came in to inspect the facility.

Nebraska Medical Center to treat Boston doctor with Ebola Spread the wealth. First Atlanta, now Nebraska. Soon Hussein will be bringing over planeloads of infected africans under the guise that since we did it with a few Americans, we can save the world. BTW - the patients were transported from the airport to the hospital, a distance of around 25 miles over interstates and main thoroughfares with absolutely no security, only the news crews. If ISIS wants to create havoc and start a pandemic ...

Was thinking the same thing.
What a radical new treatment.
But, aren’t people given dead viruses in order to build immunity? But, I doubt anybody wants the Ebola virus, not even dead.
