US Ebola infection/incubation timeline 11.8.14

[morningfog]

Texas is officially Ebola-free. The Duncan line has been contained and has ended.

Spencer-NYC Line

Days since Dr. Spencer was isolated (Oct. 23)....16 days. Dr. Spencer reported a slight fever, at 100.3, on the night of October 22 and was isolated on the morning of October 23. He was isolated quickly and before he had any symptoms other than a slight fever. Any pre-isolation contacts who were infected would likely have shown symptoms by now. However, there is little to no chance that he infected anyone prior to isolation.

Dr. Spencer is improving and in stable condition.

2. Thank you for continuing to do this

There was, unfortunately, so much panic and misunderstanding here . Reinforcing that all of that was unnecessary is the right thing to do.

3. thanks morningfog. this sure was a learning experience. for sure.

i assume the evil nurse has been about her day, without much fuss too. even though it was imperative for governors to step in and break her constitutional rights and literally get on t.v. and lie about her condition.
