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.
She got infected in Spain. See link at post #9.
The Spanish nurse got it from treating a Spanish missionary brought back to Madrid. Two Spanish missionaries got it and they both were brought back to Spain and died. They were both elderly, however, and the first one had delayed in getting care.
The patient treated by the nurse was a little younger (in his 60s instead of his 70s) and had been diagnosed earlier. However, Spain had no ZMapp because they had already used the available stock on the first patient and evidently there was no more available anywhere in Europe (probably reserved for prime ministers and heads of state all over the continent...).
So they treated him with something else, but one has to wonder if it wasn’t effective and the virus wasn’t entirely killed. The US doctor who was treated in Nebraska with a non ZMapp drug was checked in with similar symptoms yesterday to a hospital in DC, as if he had had a relapse.
He may have something entirely different, including a common cold, but I think there’s a lot that’s not known about this yet.
Don’t know if it is the same women, but I read an article earlier today posted somewhere on FR, that a woman who had treated the man that returned to Spain with Ebola had been infected.
IIRC, he was flown back to Spain for treatment, so the protocols should have been followed there too.
Here’s the article regarding the case in Spain - she was not in the hot zone it appears she got it from the patient she was treating that was brought in from the hot zone.
