Would some of you guys cool it a little? I'm sitting here in Dallas at pretty much Ground Zero and we have other members here.
Some of these comments are uncalled for and just add stress to what we're already dealing with. Believe me, the press is having a field day here with this newest case. The guy wanting to sell his cemetery plots is correct: dead Ebola patients are cremated. You won't be able to make a profit off of us if we lose more people to this horror.
The new patient is a woman who lived alone in an apartment not too far from where Nina Pham lives. This morning, the police and fire dept. decontaminated her door and the common areas outside her apartment.
Later today, her car and the interior of her apt. will also be disinfected. She does not have a pet. I hope that she has apartment/renter's insurance to replace her belongings that will probably have to be destroyed. Think about how that affects these people.
This area of town has many health workers employed at Presbyterian Hospital. I'm just praying that we'll see no further cases of Ebola and that these two women will recover.
There was a press conference here this AM that pre-empted the Today show. Judge Jenkins said that Nina Pham passed a good night and that her condition has been upgraded to "good."
I imagine that before long, we'll learn the name of this second patient and further details. What we have now is that she reported immediately to the hospital on having a fever and that samples of her blood (or whatever they test) were sent to a lab in Austin and that shortly after midnight, it was confirmed that she does have Ebola. Another sample will be sent to CDC for a second opinion, but no one doubts that she has the disease.
Please keep in mind what we here on the scene are enduring and don't make cruel posts that you wouldn't want someone in Dallas to make if it was your city that was affected.
