The Dallas nurses who contracted Ebola while treating a patient at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital have been moved from the building, but patients are still steering clear of the once-bustling hospital.

People have called to cancel outpatient procedures, and some have even opted not to go to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in emergency situations, ABC Dallas affiliate WFAA reports.

"Amazon should do **really** well this year."

As long as the warehouse workers, delivery drivers and others in the chain of product distribution are Ebola-free.

I would not go on a cruise anyway because of the greater potential of catching something nasty. Now, after this ebola thing I would be even more disinclined to go on a cruise.

I’m sure there are many people thinking the same thing.

This is going to be very bad for tourism in general and the cruise ship business in particular.

Or in rehab facilities after a hospital stay. My mother picked up serious infections both times she was in rehab after a hospital stays.

“I am hoping to hear soon Nurse Pham is much better.”

She looked great in that video. We’ll find out soon enough. Keep up the prayers.
