I know the first thing I would do if I had Ebola in Liberia is catch a flight to Mexico and walk across a desert to El Paso. I'm sure the fever, nausea, vomiting and fainting spells would only delay me a few days.

At least one healthcare worker in Spain contracted Ebola. I thought she had died, but not sure.

I don't see anybody panicking, and I live in DFW. However, we do need to take necessary steps to contain the POSSIBILITY that this virus could spread.

There's simply no good reason not to be restricting air travel from those affected countries in Africa.

She's actually reported to be doing quite well at the moment.

I thought the press conference 5 minutes ago was FINALLY done well. I also don't see anyone panicking now and I actually have a but more confidence in how they're handling the situation now.

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


Incubation could last up to 21 days. Most who contract it start showing symptoms within 7 days.

The reason why everyone says 21 days is because once you get through 3 weeks symptom-free, you're, well, home free.

Which dog are we talking about?

Nina Pham's dog is alive and being cared for.
