Scottish nurse with Ebola shows signs of improvement

The Scottish nurse being treated for Ebola in a London hospital is no longer critically ill, the hospital said Monday.

A statement issued by Royal Free Hospital said it is "pleased to announce that Pauline Cafferkey is showing signs of improvement." Cafferkey remains in isolation as she receives specialist care, the statement said.

But the election is over so who (in RWNJ land) cares? Of course she's also in that commie health care system the British are saddled with.

UK nurse Pauline Cafferkey has said she is "very happy to be alive", having been discharged from hospital after making a full recovery from Ebola.
...
After three or four days Ms Cafferkey said her condition began to deteriorate, with the hospital announcing she had become critically ill on 4 January.

Asked if there was a point she felt she would not make it, Ms Cafferkey said: "There was a point, which I remember clearly. I do remember saying: 'That's it, I've had enough'."

She said she had "no sense of time" in hospital and cannot remember an entire week when the virus took hold.
