This is not good.

A Liberian woman appears to have contracted Ebola from unprotected sex with a man who survived the virus, health officials said today.

Yikes. Virus that is gone from blood my still be present in the eyes months afterwards.

"For the first time, Ebola has been discovered inside the eyes of a patient months after the virus was gone from his blood."

Liberia is declared free of ebola, at least for now. Hopefully this sticks.

[emoji15] I was furious when they were announcing Ebola sufferers were being flown to the US, acting like they knew how to handle these diseases. They don't.

I was disappointed when I learned that so many people had the same opinion as the above post. I am so pleased to learn that so many of those opinions are now changed.

The emergency room at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center in Danville went under lockdown Saturday afternoon as officials evaluate "a patient for a potential public health risk." It is unclear what the health risk could be, or when the lockdown will be lifted.

RUMOR ONLY. I am also hearing Smallpox.

 

[Tulessa]

Also hearing Monkey pox. RUMOR ONLY! Right now.

A British nurse who contracted Ebola while working in Sierra Leone last year has been readmitted to hospital with an "unusual late complication" from the infection.


Pauline Cafferkey was transferred from the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow to the Royal Free London hospital this morning in a military aircraft under supervision.

In a statement, the Royal Free said she is in a serious condition.

"She will now be treated in isolation in the hospital's high-level isolation unit under nationally agreed guidelines," the statement read.
