1st Dallas Nurse With Ebola To Be Sent To Maryland

DALLAS (AP) -- The first Dallas nurse to have contracted Ebola after treating an infected Liberian man is scheduled to be moved Thursday to a specialized medical facility in Maryland.

The National Institutes of Health said in a statement that Nina Pham, 26, will be taken from Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas to the NIH center in Bethesda, Maryland. The NIH facility has one of four biocontainment units in the United States.

Texas Health Presbyterian officials said Wednesday that Pham was in good condition.

Hospital spokesman Wendell Watson said Thursday the move is necessary because numerous employees are being monitored for symptoms of the virus and aren't available to work.

So they are moving her here to Maryland and the other one they are sending to Atlanta. Let's just keep spreading it all over the country.

And the other one was sent to Emory U in Atlanta. So I guess not every hospital is equipped and able to deal with Ebola as we are being told by the CDC and Obola.

Of course! Let's spread the contamination around the country, why keep it in one state?! Maryland welcomes Ebola!
