How is moving anyone to another location 'limit the # of ppl at risk'? that would be putting MORE ppl at risk.
this line says to me... since Dallas hospital couldnt get it right .. we are sending her to Atlanta 'Now, she will be transferred from the Dallas hospital to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, which has successfully treated two other patients'
Well, you can keep them both in Dallas, too. Either way, I would think you'd want them in the same place getting the same care. That way, you're not exposing twice as many nurses/doctors/etc. The reason to move them is that Emory/Nebraska/etc are trained specifically for this and have taken care of the other patients (US doctors, NBC crew member). Could be - that would be disturbing, since she was on a plane and non-symptomatic just 2 days ago.
I agree...send all of the ebola patients to Emory and the other hospital since they are more equipped to deal with it. from the cnn article i posted...

interesting article Donation pledges for Nina Pham, Dallas nurse infected with Ebola, top $30K http://news.yahoo.com/nina-pham-texas-ebola-nurse-donate-help-114830121.html will they do the same for the 2nd nurse?
Article by Thomas Duncan's nephew: http://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/l...ve-to-kill-thomas-eric-duncan-nephew-says.ece Interestingly, he claims the whole helping-a-pregnant-woman story is not at all true, and that Duncan didn't know he had Ebola. I doubt we'll ever know the full story.
They can't know for sure until they go through all of the data but they might be observing a higher mortality rate. Just the fact that the population is so much larger could be making it more successful.
I haven't found a single article out there that discusses increased virulence as anything more than a theory held by people who haven't been able to look at any data.
