Hi Scott, are you going to Texas to offer your services?

Wow, this is indeed scary. From what I have read this person was not a part of the original high risk pool identified after Mr Duncans diagnoses in Sept and was in fact wearing protective gloves, gown and masks.

This person must be beyond terrified. I am hoping for a swift recovery.

The entire family must be terrified. My thoughts and prayers are set their way.

The doctors who were infected in Africa also said they wore protective gear.

Accidents happen, unfortunately.

This is very scary..I wish they would stop all travel from infected regions till they get this horrific sickness under control.I will pray for that nurse to be well and that no one else that she came in contact with gets sick.

We don't know whether this person was infected prior to Mr. Duncan's being properly diagnosed. She may have been exposed before they took proper precautions for Ebola. They said she began taking precautions on Septemeber 28th, the date of his second trip to the hospital, and his diagnosis wasn't confirmed until September 30th.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Now others who had contact with her will have to be monitored.
