EBOLA SCARE IN THE US
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta has come
under scrutiny for pointing the finger of blame at a nurse who
contracted the deadly Ebola virus while caring for an Ebola patent in
Dallas.
The nurse, who treated Thomas Eric Duncan in the isolation unit at
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, is the 2nd person to be diagnosed
with Ebola on U.S. soil. Duncan, who was the first person diagnosed in
the U.S., died on Oct. 8.
According to CDC director Thomas Frieden he says
“Unfortunately it is possible in the coming days that we will see additional cases of Ebola,”
The CDC’s preemptive finger pointing at the health care worker is
raising concern among doctors and nurses, who say health care workers
are not properly trained to treat patients with Ebola.
Only 4 hospitals in the country have isolation units that specialize in
treating and containing infectious diseases like Ebola.
Still, the White House refuses to order the mandatory transfer of Ebola
patients to one of those 4 hospitals for treatment.
Lets keep praying for all the countries affected and stop the spread of this deadly virus.
