re: Who is Nina Pham? -- Ebola Puts Conscientious Nurse In The Spotlight

Well, let's see. We have a disease that is "brand new" to America, a protocol that nobody in America has ever had to implement, and yet somehow, a couple of people here (not healthcare professionals) somehow KNOW that Miss Pham had to have broken protocol in order to contract the disease.
Sorry, but we don't have nearly enough history to KNOW that. You know, we had American healtcare professionals in Africa who contracted Ebola. I guess we all chalked that up to the conditions over there, but who's to say there isn't a flaw in the accepted procedures.
Miss Pham had 96 "contacts," with almost all of them being other healthcare workers. Their"clock" runs thru 10/31, and here's hoping and praying that they remain symptom-free.

Let's use deductive reasoning... 78 doctors and nurses treated Duncan and followed the same protocol. One person got sick.

I don't know if this has been brought up yet but personally, I don't think she has been a nurse long enough to have been taking care of the mother of all high risk patients. She may be whip smart and already a hell of a nurse, but she just hasn't been at it long enough to have the clinical experience. That concerns me.
