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.

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...
Still wondering how all these health workers who supposedly know that exposure risk, take the precautions, and have the protective garments are getting infected. Just bad luck? Hmmmmmm. Might the authorities be lying to us? /Sarc.
In 1918 my friend tells me Jews didnt get sick. They ate helthy diets - their way. In Exodus the Egypt plagues did NOT affect Goshen where the Hebrews / Israelites / Jews lived.
Perhaps the true Christians will be spared in this pandemic.
COLLOIDAL SILVER and ACIDOPHYLLIS are germ fighters. Always have it on hand. Perhaps we will be Goshen!
This is spreading faster than anyone can keep up, I’ve tried.
The nurse in Spain with ebola WORE A PROTECTIVE SUIT! We are LIED to about how its spread. And about what else?
I don't know if Christians will be spared, to be honest...Jesus said we would have trials and sorrows. Even if we were spared, I wouldn't feel too optimistic about my own chances, because I've been having some distinctly unChristian thoughts and wishes about the cockroach in the White House.
I thank you for the information about those germ-fighters.
Thanks for the ping!
