Additional thought: this guy is white. What repercussions if he survives and Duncan did not?

Was the nurse in the ER or one of the treating nurses in the isolation unit? It could make a big difference in the number of people she directly contacted.
To: Red in Blue PA; All

The doctor said SPECIFICALLY he wouldn’t classify the type of worker i.e. doctor, nurse, lab tech so we aren’t sure but we DO know this came from Duncan’s 2 nd visit and they wore full CDC protective gear.

Is that due to this particular strain of the virus, of the level of medical response? Or something else, or “all the above”?

Obviously a false positive. FR's own ex-spurts assure us that transmission to an American Doctor in America with all the precautions they take is impossible!
IMPOSSIBLE I SAY!!! Bring Out Your Dead
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...

She did care for Duncan. If she gets ZMapp and shes white, theres gonna be a civil war.He knowingly lied with a deadly disease to get here and he DESERVED WHAT HE GOT...G-d rest his soul....but she DID NOT get what she deserved and should get Zmapp!!!.
...oh and if the idiots riot and want a civil war, by G-d we will give it to them. Long time coming to cull the Obola entitlement zombies.

there is no more zmapp...and if there is...it’s being saved for Obama etc.

Human error is going to come into play in these cases where healthcare workers come down with Ebola. We'll learn that the Healthcare worker erred somewhere in the procedure of dressing and or undressing from the suite etc. This was the case with the worker from Spain who had touched her face after taking care of the "dead" patients she'd been caring for.
