Now this is scary.
She got infected while treating the dying priest in Spain.
They knew that he had Ebola. So she should have been following the protocols.
Yet she gets Ebola.
“MADRID (Reuters) - A Spanish nurse who treated a priest in Madrid who died of Ebola is suspected to be the first case of the disease contracted outside West Africa, media in Spain reported on Monday, citing sources within the country’s health authorities.
Spanish newspaper El Pais and radio Cadena Ser were among those who said the nurse had tested positive for Ebola in initial tests and officials were awaiting final results.
No one was immediately available in Madrid’s health department to confirm the reports.”
The nurse is in a "stable" condition, according to officials. She reportedly started feeling sick on September 30. The patient whom she had been treating had died on September 25. Missionary Manuel Garcia Viejo had been helping Ebola victims in Sierra Leone.
In addition to the nurse and Viejo, Spain has had one other case, making it the third in the country. Another missionary, Miguel Pajares contracted the disease after working in Liberia. Pajares also died.
The 44-year-old woman is the first person to actually contract the disease outside of West Africa. Other cases in Spain – or more recently, the US – have been the result of individuals contracting the disease on the African continent and then traveling abroad.
“They knew that he had Ebola. So she should have been following the protocols.
Yet she gets Ebola.”
And yet it’s hard to catch.
Fire the collection of morons running NIH and CDC.
Probably was. It's the "protocols" that need to be revised, perhaps daily as this very clever virus finds new ways to infect people. That's what viruses do.
