http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/03/health/ebola-nbc-ashoka-mukpo/index.html

The 33-year-old freelance cameraman for NBC News started feeling achy and tired Wednesday, and he quarantined himself. A day later, a test at a Doctors Without Borders facility in Monrovia confirmed that he had Ebola....

NBC News hired him Tuesday, and Snyderman said she’d worked with him for only a few hours when he started feeling sick.

“My suspicion is that he was infected before we met him and then he became symptomatic once we met him,” Snyderman said Friday on the “Today” show. “The amount of virus in his body is low. We should have a very good prognosis.”...

HOW could a cameraman become infected? WHO will pay for this?

Obamacare rates will necessarily $kyrocket.

Guenevere: The CDC tells us it has to be by body to body. Gee, wonder if he picked up a dying pregant woman and took her to the hospital, between taking photos?

The CDC is getting the script from the White House. Obama? Probably not, because he is getting his script from elsewhere. ValJer, my guess...and she is getting her script from who knows.... Sad days, seeing this unfold. Take care of your own.

"We shared a work space. We shared vehicles. We shared equipment," she said. "But everyone here is hyper-alert. We have not been in close proximity. No one shakes hands. There's no hugging."

Good luck. I guess that means you are safe, right? It's a good thing you are "hyper-alert", eh?
