The boyfriend of Nina Pham, the nurse who contracted the Ebola virus from a Liberian national, may have been admitted to a hospital.

Oh, there's a big surprise! That's an incredible. I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise!

Can't be true.
They've told us that Ebola is really hard to contract.
Virology and basic disease containment procedures are racist.

I just don't understand how no one else around Duncan picked it up... That is what I find surprising...

Huh. First time breaking news about this in Dallas without me getting an alert on my phone 1st.

Dude This isn't a threat. There is a higher chance of Mississippi State being ranked number one in the football polls or a black man being President of The United States than this. Stop with the alarmist crap. Stuff like this doesn't happen here, we are the United State bro.

Wait - what's this incubation period? I thought it was 14-21 days...
This seems quicker.

My heart breaks for this poor girl and now her boyfriend. I also work in healthcare and people don't have a strong enough appreciation for the risk we sometimes put ourselves in for patient care.
This HIPPA BS doesn't make it any easier as we're not always made aware of exactly what a patient has.

Him being placed in quarantine=/= having ebola symptoms. Plus 2 employees that won't put their names on record saying an email went out. Please excuse me while I wait for a more credible source.

You know what? All these "experts" and such should put their money where there mouths are. Treat 100% of those infected @ CDC Atlanta and in the Washington, D.C. area.
If it's so safe and easy to contain, there should be no problem, right? Don't these people deserve the best care?

When a person is in the last stages of the disease the fluids (blood, vomit, diarrhea, etc) is much more likely to transmit the disease.

Ebola is very serious. When a person is in the last stages of the disease the fluids (blood, vomit, diarrhea, etc) is much more likely to transmit the disease.
The fact that the CDC Chief's second statement is direct contradiction of his first statement does not inspire confidence.

I called this.

As much as I don't believe the CDC is giving us the full story, people saying that ebola must not be hard to catch because out of hundreds of contacts there are 2 confirmed cases are being absurd.
