Nearly three weeks after Dr. Martin Salia died at Nebraska Medical Center due to advanced Ebola symptoms, we are hearing that there may be another new case of the horrific virus once again on U.S. soil. It was confirmed by Atlanta's Emory University Hospital that at 5:45 a.m. this morning it admitted an American woman who may have been infected while performing recent duties as a health-care worker in West Africa. The woman has yet to be identified and no details have been given out about her just yet, other than the confirmation that she is at Emory, which is waiting for test results. This facility has successfully treated four recent Ebola patients, including Dr. Kent Brantly, Amber Vinson and Nancy Writebol with its special isolation unit and well-trained staff. While the Ebola virus has infected more than 17,000 in Africa just this year alone, the U.S. has, so far at least, managed to keep it from turning into an epidemic here as well. When the first cases were confirmed here, it seemed like everyone was expecting the absolute worse but instead the few cases that have developed have somehow stayed isolated occurrences.
