The health worker in Texas who contracted the Ebola virus from an airline passenger who skipped out of Liberia (a Mr. Duncan) was Nurse Nina Pham, a Vietnamese-American. The link has a photo and background. I'm sure everyone here is pulling for her recovery.

Another innocent bystander, ( goes to show you Ebola shows no prejudices ), absolutely ridiculous what happened, Duncan told them where he had come from, ( he may have been saved ? ), so it's not only VN that shows this sort of incompetence, I hope the useless person is never employed in the medical field again. ( or perhaps any field that involves contact with the pubic ).
