Quark 7,098 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 o<(0_0)>o The second nurse infected with Ebola at a Texas hospital was identified Wednesday, as authorities expressed concern that she took a domestic flight just one day before coming down with symptoms of the deadly disease. Amber Vinson, who like Nina Pham is a nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, was identified to Reuters by a relative. Vinson is 29 and went to the hospital displaying symptoms of the disease on Tuesday, after taking a Frontier Airlines flight from Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth on Monday. Federal health officials are now tracking down all of Vinson's fellow passengers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Wednesday. Vinson will be transported to Emory University Hospital, the CDC said in a teleconference Wednesday http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/10/15/family-identifies-2nd-health-care-worker-infected-with-ebola/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogFood 1,649 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I live in Ohio. Just wonderful. Did she get it in Cleveland or Dallas? Did she get sick, go to Cleveland, and then go back to Dallas? I'm confused.
