Another Lagos Nurse Gets Ebola by Frankenstein: 12:19pm On Aug 11, 2014
Another Lagos nurse has been tested positive to Ebola,
possibly she caught the infection from her husband,
according to The Nation.

According to the Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu,
the newly wedded nurse was among the people that had
direct contact to the importer of the virus into Nigeria, the
late Liberian man, Patrick Sawyer.

It has been 22 days after the first case of the Ebola Virus
Disease (EVD) was recorded in Nigeria. The Minister of Health said her husband is among the 177 people placed under surveillance.

He revealed that nine have so far developed EVD, thus
bringing the total number of cases in Nigeria to ten — two
of these two have died — that is the Liberian and the
nurse while eight are alive and currently on treatment.
On Friday, August 8, President Goodluck Jonathan
declared a National Emergency because of Ebola
outbreak in Nigeria. The day before that, President Ellen
Sirleaf declared state of emergency in Liberia, as the
country grapples with an outbreak of the virus

I think the husband was the one that had direct contact with Mr Sawyer and he's prolly one of the positive patients being treated.

Colleagues are falling like flies to the EVD.


Ebola is not a jone. Every health workers should better get suited up with HAMZAT suit or stay back please.


For those politicizing these issues for their personal gain, we are yet to see worse, bodies are going to be dropping in the coming days with Nigerian reactive instead of proactive way of managing these epidemic.
