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.

That CDC person needs to find a new job!
My take is that it is not that the contacts are not being worked as much as the they were trying to keep the idiot media away from their doorstep, and I can understand that.
The other item I find of interest was the concern that she was so young. My experience has been that the younger nurses are often more up on things that your a floor nurse who has been doing the same thing for 20 years
Health officials have not released the nurse’s name, but Yahoo News identified Pham through public records and a state nursing database.
Hippa laws do apply in Texas... it is the news media that have no morals.
These liberal political hacks are going to get more people killed. Their liberal PC clouds their supposed professionalism and good judgement.
But will media outlets face any sanctions for violating HIPPA laws by releasing her name and information???
Thank you!
I’ll call her a girl as compared to me,she is a girl.
She was trained and I bet she was shaking in her nurses shoes and doing her best to care for that pt, and not contaminate herself with anything in that room.
Hospitals are not equipped to handle this deadly disease.
I bet her PPE’s (personal protective equipment)were sub-par as NO ONE knows how to handle this virus.
I also pray for her.
Thank-you for your research. That is a pretty pathetic worst-case scenario contagion safety net.
It would seem we are similar to third world countries where all the tax payers’ treasures have been leached away from their original intentions to some cronies’ secret pockets.
I bet the movie industry with their fantasy ideal of a super-competent industrial/military/healthcare complex is deflating its’ perspectives for the next set of disaster flicks...or maybe not...they are after all the propaganda arm of the leftist regime.
The Christian organizations who are already on the ground in Africa, and have the experience in this fight, will most likely rush to fill the gap and will do their best to contain the outbreak through their own volunteerism, until the government trips them up with their regularions.
As for the private enterprise drug companies who are working on cures, they will be used to vilify their small stores (caused by bureaucracy and over-regulation) and will the the left’s natural scapegoat.
Haven’t heard from Jesse Jackson, but Judge Jenkins sure looked mortified yesterday at his presser.
Not an unreasonable deduction on your part.
But while caring for an Ebola patient?!?
This is only Obamas fault! Human error should always be expected. For this very reason all flights should be banned and borders should be closed.
May God help her! prayers up.
That's the question. Medical facilities are bound by HIPPA, but a news media using public information sources may be a sneaky way to gain and release it. I don't know.
Also if this precious yong women recovers. I smell a lawsuit for defamation.
She had more training to work in that wing than Obama had to work in the West Wing..
I sure hope so, I do not trust the CDC to do that right thing.
Colleen Hufford...it came out when someone posted a Facebook page dedicated to her memory.
So news media fault NICE GOING NEWS Media no morals
