MADRID -- In what is the first reported incident of Ebola transmission in Europe, a Spanish nurse who treated a missionary for the disease at a Madrid hospital tested positive for the disease, Spain's health minister said Monday.

The female nurse was part of the medical team that treated a 69-year-old Spanish priest who died in a hospital last month after being flown back from Sierra Leone, where he was posted, Health Minister Ana Mato said.

The current Ebola outbreak is the largest outbreak of the hemorrhagic disease in history, according to the CDC. Experimental treatments and vaccine testing offer hope of relief. However, the crisis has dramatically strained healthcare systems and humanitarian efforts...

 

Experts are worried that Ebola is spread easier than assumed...

Time will tell, still no passengers or family are sick so that is a good sign.

The family members are still only half way through the incubation period.

ML there are many things in that article that back up just exactly what we were saying.  First never say never.  The concern of panic. Especially in tight spaces it could be very easy to be passed air borne and premature to say it can't.  Can't say for certain that a person can't pass it before they are showing symptoms.  Because of being transmitted to so many it could be at a very different stage of mutation.  No one really knows enough about it to be dogmatic in any statement.  And I think that statement was the main one that I was trying to say. 

 

Also note that those making statements aren't just a Dr. working in a hospital with a virology back ground.  But rather Dr.s and researchers who have much experience working with Ebola

Reggie, exactly. I noticed this morning that Finally. people interviewing the network "specialists" ( not ) are asking how the drs and and caretakers, who are covered in protective gear, got sick anyway. The so- called specialist said it was because they were ALL working in a different hospital with sick people who were not known had Ebola so they were not wearing protection...bull crap! In an epidemic, EVERY sick person is presumed to have the virus.

despite wearing protective clothing, and now they are going to euthanize her dog.  :(

I never said never, I think I said it could change at anytime and the facts don't show it as a true airborne virus. But hey believe what you want. I love that the article states SOME doctors, well guys some doctors are clueless. Not that this is the case but some doctors are also quacks.

THIS man came here to get Married:

In Dallas, ground zero for the U.S. Ebola scare, two churches chart both stereotype fears and stewardship efforts as worries over the stigma of possible contact of the deadly virus mount, the Daily Beast notes of faith's role amid outbreak fears at home.

At the massive Wilshire Baptist Church, Senior Pastor George Mason had dual duty Sunday, briefing reporters and asking congregants to pray for member Louise Troh, a 54-year-old Liberian-American who remained in quarantine along with other relatives.

 

The church found itself deeply connected to the nation's only active Ebola case because Troh was planning to wed patient Thomas Eric Duncan, who came to the U.S. to be with her, reconnecting their relationship after she spent years raising their 19-year-old son. The couple had consulted with Mason on their wedding.

Now Duncan remains in critical condition at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital undergoing reported experimental Ebola treatment, according to NBC News, as health fears of the contagion's spread nationwide mount.

Across town, another Dallas church deals with similar concerns, the Beast noted of the parallel. Bishop Nathan S. Kortu was extending hope and comfort to his own congregation at the New Life Fellowship in Euless on Sunday where most members, like himself, are Liberian.

"It's stressful news for all of America," Kortu told the Daily Beast. But especially for himself and his church family.

"We don't want it to become a stigma for us," he said. "We don't want people to find out that we're from Liberia and [then decide] that we must have Ebola. That's a very big deal for us. That's a concern.

 

His congregants are standing by with grave concern as many of their family members still living abroad have contracted the virus or are trying mightily not to contract it, he told the Daily Beast. They are sending up not only prayers for care packages to Liberia, the only way they can help, as Kortu assured them that a growing number of patients in Africa were being treated successfully.

"It's an emotional thing," Kortu told the Daily Beast in a phone interview. "Our relatives are there. Our brothers, our sisters. We pray for them and help however we can."

Meanwhile, Pastor Mason offered updates on Troh, who is asymptomatic, as well as Duncan, whom he noted had never attended a service at his church — a comforting bit of news to members who might have previously feared contact.

"Anyone would be surprised at how close this has been to home," Mason said of finding himself amid a national scare.

In the Dallas neighborhood of Victory Heights, volunteers and residents have stopped coming out to support child enrichment programs and even food banks as Ebola anxiety mounts in the largely immigrant community, Dallas TV station WFAA reported.
