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

How did she get it if he was wearing the protective gear?

Ahh right :/ omg this is so scary. :( hope it's not airborne.. But if it was airborne then every nurse and doctor treating ebola patients would have it and that's not the case.. so i wonder what it is :/

Some nurses are complaining that they don't have the right protective gear. They need to step it up tbh.

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. :duck:
