A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has tested positive for Ebola after a preliminary test, the hospital said in a statement.
Confirmatory testing will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

Yep....as a trained intel professional, it is my professional opinion that the Judge is scared shitless...and I'm very surprised if a further shot would have shown one of his hands trembling.
If I were Zmapp maker, I would specifically EXCLUDE treatment for Obama. I would make it publically known that his company will withold ZMAPP to the POTUS because he is the cause of this and that I would gladly give it to innocent victims such as this healthcare worker or Duncan's family, or the Spanish nurse.
I saw an old article. This company was given money way back when. There was a female scientist who had visited the Whitehouse and was at Obama’s side. This lab is connected.
I thought I read that the Spanish nurse received a Zmapp dose, as well as blood from Ebola survivors.
Production capabilities have not been ramped up at this point. Zmapp production has been described as something like one lab tech with a pipette.
(Ebola drug and vaccine production seems to be another place where the Zero administration is doing close to zero, except throwing up more roadblocks for those who want to control the disease. Who is going to pay for the drug and vaccine production ramp up? ("If you got a business you didn't build that.") Who is going to assume the risk if it doesn't work?)
Like AIDS and other viruses that attack the immune system, there is a nonlinear effect. The immune response is how the virus gets into the blood stream. A weak immune system is susceptible but a stronger immune system might actually let the virus spread more quickly.
True, but it only takes a couple of viruses to get infected. The biggest risk is getting exposed to a late stage patient as you said, but before that point it will depend on cleanliness, luck, etc. In the case of Youngor Jallah, she did a lot of disinfecting. Perhaps Duncan washed his hands also after he used the bathroom.
That's true in the literature I read:
Meanwhile, the immune system is going haywire (Fig 21). Interferons are not being made because VP35 interferes with nearly every step in the process [2]. White blood cells are trapped inside the circulatory system because sGP limits their movement [49]. Macrophages and monocytes are releasing a cocktail of proinflammatory cytokines that destroy the vascular endothelium, but also activate the coagulation cascade. This puts your body in a paradoxical state in which you can die of hypovolemic shock from massive hemorrhage, or from catastrophic thrombosis, the formation of blood clots around the body [17]

It may be a little more subtle than "healthy people die". Healthy people may not get infected or may successfully fight off the infection. Also I'm pretty sure though that unhealthy people will die from Ebola as well without the Cytokine Storm, just from the virus itself as it takes over the epithelial cells destroying the blood vessels and the liver.
These hospital and medical facilities are concentrating centers for the virus and are obviuosly dangerous for health care workers and patients. I know that they isolate the Ebola patients once suspected, but when patients enter the ER and clinic with non specific symptoms, they will need to be isolated ASAP, and because early symptoms are non-specific, this will not be possible to know who has or doesn’t have Ebola. In fact what could happen is one Ebola suspected pateint is kept in the same area as several Flu patents, and more patients become infected with Ebola.
Health care workers are going to call in sick in droves when Flu season hits. At this point, it would be advisable to avoid hospitals that treat Ebola.
That was the Spanish priest she treated. He died anyway.
This new patient lives in the “M” streets of Dallas.........a fairly wealthy area. She presented to the hospital Friday and was admitted. I saw/heard nothing here in the Dallas area yesterday about a potential new patient. A reverse 911!call went out to everyone w/in 4 blocks of the patient’s apartment and the common areas of that complex were decontaminated. She was NOT included in the 48 on the original watch list......
If you are going to post something like that, give us fair warning will ya?
Yes, all civilizations fall. Ours won’t be any different. We just had more opportunity to be successful than the rest but “fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son.”-—Dean Wormer
America is just an “Animal House”
The ending will be the same, running amok, looting,fire, explosion, chaos, tumult and Kevin Bacon screaming remain calm, all is well.
The Spanish nurse received a new drug that was basically a copy of or very similar to ZMapp.
“M” Streets of Dallas”
Greenland Hills?

Dallas patient's family is really throwing the race card, aren't they...
How about "black" West Africans infecting "whites" in US.
Jesse Jackson only fistbumped the family - where was the big ol' Jackson hug?!
His race baiting in a disease all by itself.
I just ordered a UV water filter and a bunch of food bars...so as not to be one of those 320 million. But as I will be living in suburbia as of next week (now I live in the city, and I’m outta here), I’ll need to get a gun to protect them from all the non-planners!
