- Doctors Without Borders confirms that one of our organization’s Norwegian field workers in Sierra Leone has tested positive and has been diagnosed with bleeding fever ebola, confirms Anne Cecilie Kalteborn in MSF’s Norway branch to Norwegian media VG.
The Norwegian health worker is tonight being flown with an ambulance flight from the capital Sierra Leone. She will probably land in Norway Monday night or Tuesday night.
- We are working to transport our colleague home as soon as possible, says Kaltebotn.
The woman, who has been working for MSF in Sierra Leone’s second city Bo, has according to VG’s sources been feeling increasingly ill during the weekend.
When the symptoms of Ebola, fever and sickness, were felt, she was put in isolation and lab-tests proved she was infected.
- This is a situation we take very seriously, says the Norwegian Foreign Department.
The woman will be flown to Oslo’s main hospital, Ullevål, were a full team of doctor’s are ready to receive her.
Bo is a district in Sierra Leone that is badly hit by the epidemic: 227 suspected cases are reported in the area were the Norwegian woman was infected.

But all these workers are following “protocol” there is no way they should be gettign infected......
At least that is WHAT the CDC is SAYING...
this isn’t getting any better
Should have read, “Local SF area channel 7 mentioned that one Spain’s nurses has Ebola.
Nothing more except she apparently was in a hot zone helping to treat patients.
ping
Wonderful.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
It’s already global. They just don’t want to panic the lemmings who think they are safe.
Last time I looked, it was:
US: 4
Europe: 2
I just know we can beat Europe for the record! /sarc
She got infected in Spain. See link at post #9.
Better change that to “KEEP YOUR DEAD INSIDE!”..................
These doctors are learning quickly why it’s a good idea to have borders. They get sick with Ebola and haul ass back to the safety of the borders of their home countries.
>following “protocol”
Makes one wonder what these young men and women do in their off time. How much “direct injection” are some getting from the local natives?
Europe will catch up fast. They are a good fourth quarter team...........
Generations from now when students study the Great Ebola Pandemic in history class, they will marvel at the West's stupidity in seemingly to take every action they could possibly take to deliberately introduce this disease to our shores.
Yet nobody in Dallas except Duncan is sick. WOW. yet
bleeding fever ebola?
Just how many kinds are there?
“Yet nobody in Dallas except Duncan is sick. WOW. yet”
Incubation period is 21 days-—can’t rest yet.
