Nina Pham, one of the two nurses who contracted Ebola in Dallas, is expected to be moved to a National Institutes of Health isolation unit in Bethesda, Maryland, a federal official with direct knowledge of the plans told NBC News on Thursday.
The transfer could happen later Thursday, but the official cautioned that plans were evolving. Pham, 26, was diagnosed with the virus on Sunday after treating Thomas Eric Duncan, who contracted Ebola in Liberia, flew to Dallas and later died.
The other nurse who contracted Ebola in Dallas, Amber Vinson, was flown on Wednesday to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. The Emory and NIH units are two of the four facilities in the United States that are specially equipped to handle Ebola.
Umm... Judging from news from nurses, Texas Presb. might be facing nurse rebellion?
Based on it's “indigenous” population and it's proximity to DC, I'd say that's a good thing (sark). Feel very sorry for the nurse. She's one of the CDC's first victims.
“The results of the meeting are to “Control the narrative” for the next two weeks. Wouldn’t you immediately contact the NSA and request a stroke or heart attack?”
Remember WHO it is we are dealing with here, and with their personal ZMAPP doses already safely tucked away.
“Something tells me that My case of Ebola will not be covered in my healthcare plan? “
Wrong card. If you are registered ‘D’ then you are covered.
No, just spreading the disease around..
When Obola fouls up, He really fouls up.
Will they be stopping for a bowl of soup?
I think you’re exactly right. The HCW treating Duncan had no emotional/social ties with him. They do with these two nurses. The emotional toll on the HCW can’t be overstated. This is a disease each of them may be percolating right now. It’s very hard to be face to face with what might next happen to YOU.
Moving her is going to increase the possibility of infecting more people, as some here express. Can so many people be that stupid? One can’t help but think that everything from Duncan on has been manufactured, pre-planned crises.
Not serious enough to cancel visas from infected areas and forbid air travel or establish contingency plans for protection against an Ebola invasion of our southern border.

There are four hospitals in the U.S. with special isolation units designed to contain biohazards like Ebola. In addition to Emory, they are the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center, in Bethesda, Md., a hospital at the University of Nebraska in Omaha and St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Mt. The facilities in Atlanta and Omaha have successfully treated Americans infected with Ebola overseas without any healthcare workers contracting the virus.
Though transporting future cases to these facilities may be prudent, they have limited beds: only 19 between them, according to CNN. Exclusively using specialized hospitals to treat Ebola is only an option
The Dream Act:
Democrats Release Ebola on America Massively
Might be time to move to a very, very remote part of the country … totally off the grid.
They are being rushed to Africa.
Pres Obola is calling up 2500 national gaurd troops to Africa.
The Hospitals are finished. People will be going to every hospital with flu like symptoms not knowing if they have Ebola. We will need to develop community based support structures.
They’re getting IV’s to keep the fluids up....probably not much more.
Like the Firestone Plantation clinics, in Africa. Something other than infecting the masses, at our local hospitals.
“No word on condition? Based on the move, I can’t imagine it is improving for either”
Could well be that is the case. But also since these two are being moved to one of the four designated Hospitals for these types of health issues, they will get better care, and keep those trained to handle this sharp in their skills, I imagine these Hospitals also probably work with the CDC closely, although that could well be a liability.
for goodness sake, keep it in the one area, moving it around when you cannot stop medical workers getting infected is about as dumb as it gets.
Because they are deliberly trying to infect the whole nation or large population centers and declare marsheld laws.
So I guess she’ll come into National and just take the Metro up to NIH since there’s a stop there.
