Ebola outbreak: Nurse infected in Spain

17. Well, she's the second case, technically.

And now they get to wait another few weeks to see if another one pops up, plus they have to have worries about the health care workers treating her now. As for contact tracing, they will have to search multiple locations with transients (resort). A very bad scenario, with the real hope being that she just wasn't ill enough before she came home to be shedding virus.

That Dr. Sacra who was treated in Nebraska? He was never treating Ebola patients. He was working in a maternity ward in a hospital that didn't have any Ebola patients. You can be non-clinically ill and still infect other people under the right circs. Of course, the exposure levels are high in maternity/obstetrics, but you can be sure that he was pretty gloved up and he still got it. He had a LOT of experience working in that setting. He wasn't just some careless newbie.

There has been a subliminal racism about the Ebola outbreak in Africa - everybody's been making assumptions that probably aren't true.
