As I posted on the other thread, the nurse’s aide (she’s not a nurse) who treated the missionary in the hospital and now has Ebola went on vacation right after his death. When she started feeling sick and had a fever, she went to the hospital - but not her hospital, Carlos III, and instead a general hospital in her neighborhood, Alcorcon (Madrid). She sat there for four hours, was surrounded by other patients, had her temperature and pulse and bp taken by the other nurses, etc. Then it occurred to her to mention that she had been in contact with an ebola patient.
They packed her off right away to Carlos III, but of course, by then she’d certainly had plenty of opportunity to spread it.
What in the world is the matter with people?
Sooooo ... starts out small. Ends up BIG!

“The nurse was in a stable condition. She had alerted the ministry of a slight fever on 30 September and been checked into a hospital in Alcorcón, on the outskirts of Madrid, with a high fever on Monday.
The nurse, who is married with no children, was transferred to Carlos III hospital early on Tuesday morning.
El Mundo reported that it was the nurse who asked to be tested for Ebola, having to insist repeatedly on being tested before it was done on Monday.”
