I woke up this morning to news that a second patient at Texas Health and Presbyterian has tested positive for Ebola. They haven't announced yet the name of the new Ebola patient. She is a female and she was one of the medical staff that treated Duncan. Duncan died last week after a long battle with the virus. The first patient to contract Ebola Nina Pham is recovering well.
It makes you wonder how it's being reported that Ebola is hard to catch, but all of these nurses and medical staff that are in protective suits are catching it. A nurse in Spain was in full protectiv gear and caught the virus as well. Several possible cases have popped up but they have tested negative. A deputy that served an isolation warrant Duncans family began feeling sick a few days after serving the warrant. He went to a Carenow clinic which was immediately locked down. He tested negative and was released.
It's a scary time in Dallas right now. Many of my friends and family are gripped to the news about anything to do with Ebola. It's scary to think something so deadly is in my city and could affect me and my family.
