I live about 45 minutes from Dallas, where ANOTHER patient--a nurse that contracted it from a patient who died --is being treated. I live close to Fort Worth, where Dr. Brantley, one of the survivors, is from (or at least where he was living). As you can imagine, Ebola is the top story on the news every night, and we learn more about the nurse who has been infected every day. The poor nurse, who is currently being treated, had a haz-mat team come to her apartment, remove every single possession that she owned, and send them away to be destroyed. They even took her dog away, and have not decided what to do with it. It is possible that the dog could be euthanized. Most people around here do not seem to be that concerned about getting Ebola, and I haven't really been either up until now. I am starting to get just a little worried though. I use hand sanitizer when handling things like shopping carts and door handles. Maybe I'm paranoid, but it seems like people look at me with worry whenever I cough, lol.
This morning on the local radio show, one of the DJs that had to drive past Texas Presbyterian on his way to have surgery at another nearby hospital confessed that he moved over to the far left lane when he saw the hospital on the right.
I doubt that we will ever have an outbreak like they have in Africa, but is kind of scary when it starts happening in your own backyard!
