California Patient Being Tested for Ebola Virus!

Good Lord, I pray this turns out to be Malaria!!! But an unidentified person has been admitted Kaiser in South Sacramento and is being tested to see if he/she has the Ebola virus! Ebola is a horrible virus that has a 90 % mortality rate. There is no cure and no vaccine for the Ebola virus!!! This is the virus where infected individuals have really high fevers and hemorrhage from the eyes, ears and mouths. It's a nasty virus!!! Normally, all the doctors can do is treat the symptoms since there is NO CURE!!! So far in Africa, Ebola has killed 1,229 people so far since Mar 2014 when this outbreak started. Ebola is not easily transmitted, you must come into close contact with blood, saliva, sweat or semen to get infected and it has a 21 day incubation period before you become contagious. But once you become contagious, you will be until the virus has run its course and it either kills you or you survive it. 

So, we have to wait and see if the tests are positive or negative for this unnamed Kaiser patient. Kaiser claims they are taking every precaution to insure that if this person has Ebola that no one at the hospital will be contaminated. They have him/her in a negative air room, and hospital personnel must double glove and wear protective suits b4 entering the room.  There 2 aid workers, a doctor and a nurse who contracted the virus in Africa, they are both recovering now in an Atlanta Hospital. The doctor is said to be doing great and should be released soon. Both received an experimental vaccine and this is what is being attributed to their remarkable recoveries. Anyway, let's just keep our fingers crossed that the unnamed patient will test negative for Ebola!!! And let us pray too. Please God, don't let it be Ebola!!!
