"Second diagnosis of Ebola in the U.S." Julian Smith

             For the first time someone with in the United States seems to have contracted the Ebola virus, this is the second known case of Ebola in America. A nurse who had treated the first victim on several occasions has now been infected. The woman seemed to be fully protected wearing gloves, a mask and a shield during her visits but there must have been a breach. The first person who was diagnosed died last Wednesday but right now the nurse seems to be in stable condition. The Hazardous materials unit of the Dallas fire department have decontaminated her apartment and car and are talking to her neighbors. So far someone who was in close contact with her has been placed in insolation as well. This second case was not unexpected and precautions were taken so hopefully we chill have this under control because even though i don't think it's necessary to be terrified about or worrying about Ebola it could become a bigger issue.
