DALLAS – The Texas nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for the first person to die of the virus in the U.S. has been identified as 26-year-old Nina Pham.
Health officials have not released the nurse’s name, but Yahoo News identified Pham through public records and a state nursing database.

We should endeavor to be more like the saints defecating on sidewalks in the Third World.
Prayers up for Nina Pham.
Nurses sometimes cut corners in protocols either because they get complacent or because they get rushed to complete a heavy workload.
we need some evidence it was her fault before blaming her
Praying for her ...
The cure hasn’t been developed because almost no one in the world got the disease. Until a few months ago.
And even so, the death rate is not even close to Dengue fever or Malaria in similar places.
The vaccines are made for the diseases that kill the most.
As the name Pham is a very common Vietnamese family name, I must assume Nina is the child of Vietnamese “Boat People” who fled South Vietnam in 1975 to escape Communism.
Phim Pham artist...
Praying for this young lady and her family. So young!

Yes the name of the beheaded woman was released and got very little media attention
Well she's safe, after all, only black people die from Ebola. /s
My MIL - RN and Masters in nursing says it would take a team of around 100 per patient to do the job correctly and effectively. Factor that into the equations on this disease.
She also believes that they should designate hospitals with the needed equipment and staff that have experience and more extensive training in these kinds of diseases as Ebola treatment centers. She does not believe that most hospitals have either the facilities, staff or the ability to train staff adequately.
What a liberal scumbag that person is!
Frieden claims, after spending billions on 5 such hospitals, any ol’ podunk hospital will do. Probably because he knows he doesn’t have enough beds when it gets into the wild.
Isolation Unit Beds:
2? - Emory, Atlanta
3 - The Care and Isolation Unit in Missoula, Montana, opened in 2005 by the National Institutes of Health to serve lab workers at Rocky Mountain Laboratories, hasn’t yet served an infectious disease patient, only a handful with tuberculosis or contagious bacterial infections. The rooms look like everyday hospital rooms—white, sterile, a TV and window for entertainment. That’s because St. Patrick Hospital retrofitted three of its ICU rooms to make the unit.
10 – Omaha, Nebraska Medical Center run twice yearly drills with decontamination at their hospital’s 10-bed biocontainment unit. Opened in 2005. Has never had an infectious disease patient. Prior to Dr. Sacra in Sept., the unit had only briefly housed one patient with malaria five years ago. Malaria does not require quarantine.
7 - NIH opened a seven-bed Special Clinical Studies Unit at the Clinical Research Center in Bethesda to replace it. Its four patient rooms (two doubles and a single). Bethesda unit has only served a patient with a drug-resistant bacterial illness. “It can handle the highest level of respiratory virus, but Ebola isn’t even spread that way,” said Richard Davey, deputy clinical director of NIH’s Division of Clinical Research.
? - US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) – Ft. Detrick, Maryland.
Are you from Ferguson? just kidding.... :)
As I said, I pray for this beautiful woman’s recovery. You can bet certain factions will play the race card because she is non-black.
We live in bizarro world.
I believe that too. How the hell does the nurse get blamed for this? Not following protocols? They fail to give any details, just a wide smear of this nice woman. I smell yet another liberal cover up.
Man, I just love my job right now.
Duncan’s family not infected? How could anyone know?!
The CDC seems to be hiding a great deal of important info. Read the following blog entries; Lame Cherry is not allowed to be posted here on FR, but these need to be read by everyone.

Duncan’s relatives could be dead by now, for all we know. And where has that Rev. Jesse Jackson gone to, hmm?
