A health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital has tested positive for Ebola after a preliminary test, the hospital said in a statement. 

Confirmatory testing will be conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital is where Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, died on Wednesday.

I wonder if this is that nurse who was exposed for however long.  If not, it worries me alittle because then it could mean a fully prepared and protected health worker has contracted it.  If that is the case then we could all be in big trouble. Stay tuned..

  • From a First responder My Views

    I feel there is a real problem with how the EBOLA is being talked about getting only bits and pieces and lies by people in the US GOVT systems. here are my concerns which I wrote the media over a week ago.

    1. Hospitals in America not able to handle Level 4 diseases. they need to build a totally self contained hospital, like and bigger than the movie Andromeda Strain . The hospital would have self sealed patient receiving room. Levels for beds, Labs bathrooms, filtration HVAC systems. Filter system for waste and burn system for waste and sewage re filtered,recycled and totally clean before re issue to any water source. The hospital would have to be totally sealed from the outside environment..

    2. Ambulances used to transport People need to be re designed as to having self cleaning insides that de germinate systems and self cleaning,along with filtration system like the AC and all equipment needs to be either discarded or cleaned and sterilized if transport a Ebola patient and no one to get close to the Ambulance without proper isolation suits.

    3. Emergency personnel responding to NOT venture anywhere a contaminated person is located in or around a home or apartment. Full Positive level 4 suits or better.

    4. AC systems in homes and apartments do not have the correct filters to stop viruses and many Filters do not meet certain guidelines.

    5. Clean up of waste sickness homes and places where a patient is located should be off limits and cleaned instantly. Just look at the way the 2 man crew was cleaning the vomit in Dallas they wore no safety equipment sprayed germs everywhere people in things and street shoes walked around the sick areas and the disease was flushed unsecured on the parking lot and into the sewer systems.

    • :lol: You seem to think that the medical system actually intends to provide care for massive amounts of Ebola patients.

      It’s NOT going to happen. YOU have forgotten how many uninsured and unemployed citizens are in this country. The problem has been here ALL ALONG…..President Obama tried to address it with Obamacare and the republicans nearly bankrupted us…….business owners laid-off employees and shut down businesses simply because …’they could’……..they didn’t realize it was because ‘this’ was coming…….

      And doctors didn’t want to have to deal with what might come down the pike.

      • Congratulations……they still won’t have to deal with it. The uninsured and poor, are still poor and uninsured.

        Doctors still don’t have any competing doctors setting up shop around them……because no one can afford to go to the doctor. So……The waiting list to get into a doctor or hospital would be too long……and most would die in a pandemic situation anyway.

        All you have to do is look at how Texas Pres. Health (doesn’t) treat patients who have Ebola right now. (Thomas Duncan) No insurance/no job/ no drugs.

      • Everyone on BIN keeps looking for a conspiracy around the corner when the biggest conspiracy of all is the very fact that the richest and greatest medical community in the world is intentionally letting the citizens of its country die every day because it WANTS more and MORE money.

      • So when Your sitting on your arse in Nov. remember who it was that voted over FIFTY times to try and prevent many millions from having access to health insurance. That was fifty times they voted to let those people die. Literally.

  • This is just the beginning folks, read some very frightening warnings about what else is coming at http://revelation12.ca
