Good news!

"MADRID (AP) — An initial test shows that a nursing assistant who became infected with Ebola in Spain is now clear of all traces of the virus nearly two weeks after she was hospitalized, authorities said Sunday.

Teresa Romero, 44, is the first person known to have contracted the disease outside West Africa in the current outbreak when she tested positive for the virus Oct. 6. She has been in quarantine at Carlos III hospital in Madrid since then.

A statement Sunday said a blood test revealed that Romero's immune system had eliminated the virus from her body. The statement came from the Spanish government committee in charge of the nation's Ebola crisis."

They'll be doing a follow-up test to make sure.

Hope she is strong enough to have a new dog in her life. That unconditional love can be very rehabilitative.

Thanks for the update, Noel. It's great to see some good news.

I didn't want to start another thread, but there's an excellent documentary showing on PBS's Frontline series, "Ebola Outbreak" (2014, S32 Episode 21).

Check your local PBS stations. The complete episode is also available online here: http://video.pbs.org/video/2365321806/
