FIRST PICTURE: Devoted Texas nurse fighting for her life after catching Ebola ...
Daily Mail ^ | October 13, 2014 | NICK FAGGE

Nina Pham, 26, caught the Ebola virus while treating Thomas Eric Duncan at Dallas Presbyterian Hospital before his death

Miss Pham was raised in Vietnamese family in Fort Worth and graduated from Texas Christian University in 2010 with Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Friends described her as compassionate and devoted to her vocation HazChem teams spent the weekend fumigating her Dallas apartment

Dallas Mayor said her beloved King Charles Spaniel will not be destroyed

Authorities have blamed a 'breach of protocol' - but nursing leaders have criticized the CDC for making her a scapegoat

Holding her beloved dog, this is the first picture of Nina Pham, the courageous nurse who contracted Ebola while treating 'patient zero' Thomas Eric Duncan – the man who brought the deadly virus to America.

The 26-year-old, from Fort Worth, Texas, was one of the team of medical staff who treated Mr Duncan at the Dallas Presbyterian Hospital before he died from the dreaded virus last week.

It will take an exceptional GOP candidate to overcome the now built in level of cheating.

CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said during the briefing that the patient has so far been “extremely helpful” while in isolation at the hospital. She identified just one contact with whom Pham had contact during a period when she was potentially infectious (though likely not, Frieden said). That person is being monitored.

I sure hope she recovers. The MSM and the CDC are not exactly honest and prompt sources of info.


Amen.

Knowing what she knows....and being the CDC/MSM scape goat is not a good thing.

I thought I read that they were treating the news guy that came home with Ebola with some blood of one of the patients that recovered? I haven’t seen anything on the news guy lately.

“I blame POTUS Obama for this Ebola breakout here in the USA!!!”

Absolutely.

Very soon we are going to see the mother or father of the Ebola victim on You tube say,

I BLAME PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR THE DEATH OF MY CHILD!

This video will go VIRAL.

President zero is responsible for patient zero.

That poor girl. I feel terrible for her. They should not be taking these Ebola patients to the regular hospital. They should be going to a FEMA location that can be properly quarantined. The CDC is useless. The govt is never the answer to any crisit.

“She breached protocol”...

...doesn’t match with...

“Ebola is very hard to get.”

Frieden is a damned liar. Time for him to apologize to this young lady, her family and friends, and the American people...and to then resign.

The Viets I knowreally aren’t into that sort of thing. They mostly don’t much like media and government attention. Where they came from most people hope to get through the day without having to deal with the government or any of its employees and they don’t want to get noticed by the media because that is tantamount to government attention.

Oh, I think we all know cheating goes on (it always has gone on), but no one can say with any confidence to what degree.

Republicans gained over 700 elected positions in 2010 from top to bottom, won 63 House seats, have a majority of governors. Plenty of analysts have studied the 2012 voting results and seem to believe Romney lost because conservatives stayed home. If vote fraud was deep and wide, republicans would not be winning all these other races.

I think it's clear some close races are affected, namely Al Franken's senate race and there was a Washington state governor's race about 10 years ago that was clearly stolen by the democrats. Somehow, Scott Walker has been able to persevere in a state that appears easy for fraud.

I tend to think vote fraud is more targeted to specific races, but there is no doubt it goes on and is why dems don't want voter ID. I do agree, Republicans need more than 50% to win to offset fraud that no one can really estimate.

For a Moslem, ebola is a fitting punishment of Infidel America the existence and success of which has severely hampered the Universal Umma. That figures heavily in the Sultan in Washington’s calculations.
