A New Day Dawns and No One is Diagnosed in the USA

Published

As far as we know, no one has been diagnosed with Ebola in the past 3 days in our country.

I just want to say THANK YOU to whomever is in charge.

Nina and Amber, Hang in There! ,,,>^.I.^

GOOD NEWS!!!

The Spanish nurse has tested NEGATIVE for ebola!

I'm optimistic that Nina and Amber are going to be OK too.

Don't forget that, overall, people in developed countries have better health than people in third world countries. Maybe it is a factor for survival, who knows.

We have also gone ANOTHER DAY with no NEW diagnosed ebola cases in this country!!!:up:

It is also good news that none of Thomas Duncan's 48 family members/contacts contacted the Ebola virus and their 21 day quarantine is complete. In particular, the four family members who shared his apartment presumably had relatively close contact with him (likely sharing a bathroom), and stayed well even though he was symptomatic while at home.

This hopefully will allay the fear of the public about an epidemic spreading casually. So far, the US infections are all healthcare workers. SO FAR. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nina and Amber - and the rest of us.

The scary part how is it spread ? People who had haz mat got infected, to me that is really scary.

October 20, 2014. No new cases diagnosed in 5 days in the USA.

Mr. Duncan's friends and family can sigh with relief. They have passed the 21-day mark.

The unknown person in Emory will be discharged soon and the photographer is negative for ebola.

It is a good day.

6 DAYS! No new diagnosed cases of ebola.

The lab worker on the cruise ship is cleared.

Inside Edition just had Dr. Preston, author of "The Hot Zone" on their show. He said ebola can easily mutate.

He also said that whoever was in charge of recommending the PPE and training of it's usage in the hospital where the two nurses caught it are responsible for them catching it.

Can't get more "expert" than him!!
