Quarantine is over for everyone that had contact with the US's first patient (Duncan) with no additional cases. This includes his family that he was living with at the time he became ill.

So take note..... it is not that easy to contract Ebola. You have to have pretty heavy contact with significant amounts of bodily fluids to be at risk as with the nurses at the hospital.

That's great news RAFUH!
We're in lockdown here at the moment as a patient is being transferred from home to our NIU with suspected Ebola
I suspect its not but the streets full of HazMat suits etc
Hopefully for patient and staff alike it's malaria
Fingers crossed!
 
Its really picking up in popularity, we have posters in our work for it, right next to a poster for the Xmas party on the 18 Dec.

Not sure if we are going to try and mix the 2, hope so, Christmas Tom-Ebola could be one of the games.
 
Nina Pham reported clear of ebola. It doesn't say, but I suppose this also means that's she's recovered well (or expected to return to full health imminently.)

Nina Pham, the first nurse diagnosed with Ebola in the United States after caring for an infected patient in Dallas, has been declared “virus free,” officials at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., said Friday morning.

Pham, 26, was treated at the facility, which has a special unit for patients who need advanced isolation and extended stays. Officials scheduled a news conference for 11:30 a.m. Friday to discuss her discharge.

Pham, the first person to contract the disease on U.S. soil, had been part of the team that treated Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who flew to Dallas last month before being diagnosed with Ebola. Duncan died days before it was announced that Pham had contracted the disease.

NIH director Francis S. Collins and Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, were among those set to attend the news briefing.


On Thursday, officials announced that a doctor in New York became the fourth person o be diagnosed with Ebola in the United States. He had recently returned from treating patients in West Africa.

Of course, we know have NYC on high scare, but that's further from me so I'm not as concerned with them (except for the good folks at Mr Dennehy's, of course).

My brother in law's girlfriend told me that there's Ebola on the Wirral now. Said it was in the Echo.

I've not checked the Echo, knackered here.
 
Some tosser arrived on a plane in Dublin yesterdaty from Milan and as a joke claimed to have Ebola.
He didnt and was arrested along with his partner and her daughter
He's due in court this morning
Not quite the holiday she was expecting I'd say
Or maybe its an everyday laugh a minute roller coaster living with this plum
