Information about Ebola Cases in the US



There are some concerning news about the Ebola case in Texas.

Thomas Eric Duncan who is the first person to contract the disease on US soil has died already and there are now 2 health care workers who are infected with Ebola as well. These are the first 2 cases of transmission in the US.

Both nurses treated Duncan which has led to mounting concerns about the effectiveness of the protocols in place to control Ebola.

The second case was just reported today and since this is potentially a very serious event, this post will be pinned and updates posted.
