The health was part of the team that attended the missionary Manuel Garc?a Viejo, who died of Ebola on 26 September at the hospital Carlos III de Madrid (currently seconded to La Paz), and Miguel Pajares, died Aug. 12. Both analyzes women have tested positive, according to the Ministry of Health, whose crisis cabinet met this afternoon. It was she who came to the hospital in Alcorc?n (170,000, southwest of Madrid) when he felt fever. Previously, on the 30th, had alerted the occupational risk of service hospital that had a fever.

        I don't think that you are. In addition, it seems the local hospital where she presented perhaps did not observe precautions when she first came in.

        She has, however, been on leave since Manuel Garcia Viejo died, thank goodness.

            I think she has had symptoms since September 30 but was not hospitalized until today, October 6. It seems she sought medical advice a few days ago from a general practitioner who told her to go to the emergency room if she did not feel better soon.

                      She knew she had just recently had contact with an EBV patient, and went to a GP?? WHY, oh WHY, did her employer not have a 'red phone' emergency contact system in place for any possible sign of anything??

                        Possible second case in Madrid.

                        translation

                        "There is a second possible case of Ebola in a hospital nurse La Paz. The warning came today at 19.50 to telephone emergency Madrid with the aim of that report to Public Health, the Ministry of Health. Documents to which access has been confirmed eldiario.es health alert received by the Madrid emergency service and where specifically targets the cause of communication: Ebola alert.

                        However, the press conference has provided the Ministry of Health, the Director General of Primary Care in the Community of Madrid has said he had no news of another possible case.

                        Disease confirmed, would be the second case of Ebola in Europe, after it has already been confirmed in a nursing assistant Alcorc?n Hospital who took care of the mission meet Manuel Garc?a Viejo.

                        The woman is a nurse trained in the hospital Carlos III -who specializes in infectious diseases and where the three patients with Ebola transferred to Madrid but currently work of La Paz hospital in Madrid is served.

                          It appears that denial is playing a big role in the spread of ebola. But, I am surprised a nurse would not report first symptoms to the hospital where she worked.

                            I see two possibilities:

                            a) she had a major exposure (needle stick etc.), in which the health system failed on every conceivable level

                            b) she had no obvious exposure and this has truly massive implications for containing the epidemic

                            Either way, hospitals and public health systems in developed countries that have assumed they won't have any problems need to wholly reconsider everything about how they will respond

In a statement, demanded the immediate resignation of the Minister Ana Mato, "mostly because we need competent people who can address the problem with security."https://translate.google.com/transla...tml&edit-text=
