American Nurses Recover From Ebola And Make Public Appearances


President Barack Obama to nurse Nina Pham who just recovered from Ebola: don't get too close (kidding, he didn't say that)

Some good news has been released on the Ebola front, regarding the war against the dreaded hemorrhagic disease. Nurses, Nina Pham and Amber Vinson, have been released from quarantine and are in good health. The nurses contracted Ebola from Liberian tourist, Thomas Eric Duncan, who sadly died.


Amber Vinson

Ebola still continues to be a problem in African nations such as Liberia and Sierra Leone. They need the world's help in combating the disease. This year, an estimated 4,000 people from all walks of life have died in Africa from Ebola.

Does The Botched Handling Of The Ebola Virus Outbreak In America Mean The CDC Will Have To Prepare For All Diseases

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Tom Frieden questioned in Congress

The Ebola virus outbreak in America is causing concern among the general public. Liberian tourist, Thomas Eric Duncan, is the first person to die of Ebola in America, after visiting family in Dallas, Texas. Two nurses that treated Duncan, Nina Pham and Amber Vison, have since tested positive for Ebola.

Thomas Eric Duncan

In the wake of the viral outbreak, the U.S. government, via the Center For Disease Control (CDC), has issued new guidelines for the handling of the Ebola virus in America. This medical emergency has made the public aware of the fact the CDC is not prepared for all diseases that can strike, which is dangerous.  

Nina Pham's boyfriend is now under quarantine

The government has to get on the ball and prepare for every potential medical scenario that can strike America. It will save lives. Infectious disease is a serious problem that can kill rapidly. People are depending on the CDC in what is a monumental task and one they cannot fail at, as the price is too high.

Amber Vinson

The Ebola virus is nature gone out of control. The perfect balance has been disrupted. Illness and death is the result for thousands in Africa and Mr. Duncan, who passed on U.S. shores. An international medical body needs to pool global resources in addressing the Ebola crisis.

Second Nurse In Dallas Infected With Ebola Traveled On An Airplane After Becoming Ill (CDC Health Advisory)


Amber Vinson

29-year-old Dallas nurse Amber Vinson has contracted the Ebola virus at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. Vinson is a colleague of nurse Nina Pham, who contracted Ebola from Liberian tourist, Thomas Eric Duncan. He has since passed away, while Pham is under quarantine.  


Nina Pham

Vinson is thought to have contracted the disease in this setting. Vinson also traveled on a commercial airliner, not realizing she had become infected. The CDC is now asking "All 132 passengers on Monday’s Frontier Airlines flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas-Fort Worth call 1-800-CDC-INFO. The flight landed at 8:16 p.m. CT Monday."


Thomas Eric Duncan

Ebola has not been a problem in America. Therefore, medical authorities did not place emphasis on training healthcare workers to combat the dreadful, hemorrhagic disease. The disease has caught the U.S. health care system flatfooted.

STORY SOURCE

Second Dallas nurse with Ebola was on Frontier Airlines Flight 1143

DALLAS – A second nurse who cared for Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan has been diagnosed with the deadly disease — a day after flying from Ohio to Texas, officials said. Amber Joy Vinson, 29, reported a fever late Tuesday and was immediately isolated at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. Vinson’s condition has worsened and she will be flown to a biocontainment unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, federal officials said during a Wednesday news conference.

CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said Vinson, who was in Ohio to plan her wedding, was not experiencing symptoms at the time of her flight, but “should not have traveled” on her return flight to Texas after learning in Ohio that she was a potential infection risk.

The CDC asks that all 132 passengers on Monday’s Frontier Airlines flight 1143 from Cleveland to Dallas-Fort Worth call 1-800-CDC-INFO. The flight landed at 8:16 p.m. CT Monday. Frieden said because Vinson didn’t have a fever and wasn’t vomiting on the flight “suggests to us that the risk to any person around that individual on the plane would have been extremely low.”

Dog Of Dallas Nurse Infected With Ebola Under Quarantine At Naval Base


Nina Pham

The dog belonging to Texas nurse, Nina Pham, who contracted Ebola on the job, is under quarantine on "a decommissioned U.S. naval base." Authorities vowed to care for the cute pooch, while his owner is in critical condition. The dog looks quite sad in photos. Dogs can inanely sense things and likely knows his owner is sick.  


Nina Pham's adorable dog looks sad and scared

The dog is hearing what is being said around him as well. You can teach a dog to obey verbal commands and do tricks based on what you state. Therefore, they understand what is being said, even on a basic level. They also have heightened senses and can be trained to sniff out disease, among other things (drugs). The animal is quite aware.


Pham was caring for Liberian tourist, Thomas Eric Duncan, who was suffering from the Ebola virus, when she contracted it through an accidental breach in medial safety protocols. 

There was a case in England regarding a dog that kept pawing at one of its owner's breasts. She thought it strange the dog began doing that. She was feeling unwell and had tests run, only to discover she has breast cancer. It is being stated the dog sensed it. Though no definitive tests/studies have been done, there are many stories of dogs being able to sense illness in humans.
