A second health worker in the in Dallas, Texas has tested positive for Ebola, health officials say.
Just like the previous nurse-Nima Pham, this health worker also treated Liberian man Thomas Duncan, who died last week after becoming the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the US.
Meanwhile, nurse Nima Pham, has received a plasma transfusion donated by doctor-Kent Brantly who beat the virus few weeks ago.
Many African Americans on social media are of the view that, the statements which say Dr. Kent Brantly offered blood transfusion for Thomas Duncan as a cure but he was his blood type so it was not possible is not true and that he was left to die because he was black.
According to the UN’s Ebola mission chief, the world is falling behind in the race to contain the virus.
Currently, Liberia’s transport Minister has gone into quarantine after her driver died from Ebola—pretty scary.
Also, a study published by the Northeastern University in Boston has revealed that Ghana is the highest nation at risk of recording the next outbreak of the Ebola Virus.
The study was published on 6 October, but had been conducted earlier and had found that several nations in the West African sub-region, as well as some other nations with high international air traffic all stood at risk of recording the epidemic.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that about 4,447 people have died from the outbreak, mainly in West Africa.
Over the weekend in Ghana, Founder and Leader of the Christian Action Faith Ministries, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams, had a very dire warning for us the people of Ghana: saying, the ‘demonic’ disease Ebola is right on our doorstep and we need to get ready.
The pastor made the pronunciation during the church service to his congregation.
According to him, he received a very a very special visit from God, and after some stimulating conversation the revelation was made to him.
“I was resting and at 1am, the Spirit of the Lord woke me up and He said: ‘Are you sleeping?’ And I said: ‘Yes I’m sleeping’, and He said: ‘Wake up!’ So I did and He said: ‘You have to go into prayer because the Ebola virus is looking for a door to enter your country between October [and] November’. So I’m telling you, you can write it down. I don’t just say things”
The Archbishop went on to describe how he gave the same warning in Liberia, and that based on his 38 years experience in ministry, he believes he has built enough credibility for people to take this warning seriously.
Give ebola to every world leader and the cure shall be found in one day

You can say that again. Hmmmm…. Now that a third nurse has been infected, let’s wait and see what kind of treatment she is going to get. I guarantee you she will survive like all the others.
With the expertise at Emory hospital, this nurse would be cured by tomorrow noon. Is a fact, Thomas condition needed a highly facility not just the Presbyterian hospital.

A third nurse has been infected. Guess what? She is going to survive like the others.
See, now this should tell black people we less important to them wtf, they already making arrangement to transport her to Emory. Am very disappointed. They could have done the same for Thomas on his first admission. He had a good chance of surviving but guess he didn’t mean nothing to them.
You make allot of sense
