Her immune system must have been in great shape. Heck....I've had a cold longer than she had Ebola!!! Yeah for her! Glad she recovered! Hope we will hear some positive news about Nina soon!Oh I agree. I don't know what they did but doing something before the virus has taken a big toll on the body is key to survival imho.

Breaking news on 5 pm newscast nbcdfw.com. Amber Vinson tested free of ebola virus last night. They are quoting her mother & they are very encouraged. Of course, she will still need more time to completely recover.
I sort of agree with you, except I don't trust this administration to admit to there being more than 2, until after the mid-terms. That said, i'm surprised the MSM isn't using the word they usually love to use - 'Pandemic', which would actually be more correct as to ebola. Epidemic is local. Pandemic is world wide.
Wow, you just made me wonder something. Presby has very few patients ( maybe none ) but is housing several of the ' monitored' individuals. I wonder if the state or feds are kicking in some $$ to the hospital for this OR if the hospital will charge those persons' insurance companies for ' monitoring'. Let's face it , if you go to the hospital with a bump on your head, they can keep you24 or 48 hrs to ' monitor' in case you get a bleed in the brain or something like that. So could the hospital term them ' patients' and charge their insurance companies as if this was a physician directed 21 day monitoring period ? That would provide the hospital with a little $ but boy what a slippery slope . Thoughts?
I'm so happy to hear this about Amber.
Has there been any news about Nina? I know her dog is ebola-free so far.
Despite the apparent unpreparedness of the hospital and the lack of training and the inadequate PPE guidelines from the CDC, these two women risked their own lives to care for a man they had never met before. That takes a very special kind of caring. I sincerely hope both of them recover fully.

Dr. Gary Weinstein, in his 45 minute WFAA interview with Janet St. James, stated that everyone on the care team for Mr. Duncan volunteered to do so. That includes nurses, respiratory therapists, lab techs, etc. They didn't have to assign anyone as they had plenty of willing HCW. They are all deserving of kudos.
Good point. Yes, all of them are deserving of respect and gratitude, not just the two did contract ebola.
Video includes seven minutes of Nina Pham's dog, Bentley, playing with people in PPE
Or if you want to, you can skip the introductory talk and skip straight to the part where the dog plays (no audio).
As I suspected, Bentley is happy and well cared for.Video includes seven minutes of Nina Pham's dog, Bentley, playing with people in PPE

I really have to wonder about the activities of some of these healthcare workers, knowing that they have cared for someone with such a serious infectious disease, yet immediately either hopping on public transport, airplanes, hitting up crowded areas... hoh: I mean, you'd think they'd keep to themselves for a couple of weeks just to be sure??
Are we in the US just more naive, or have more of a sense of invincibility or something???
