Three more people isolated in Spain over Ebola concerns

This brings the number currently being monitored for Ebola symptoms to 16.

THREE MORE PEOPLE are under observation in a Madrid hospital, boosting the number currently being monitored for Ebola symptoms to 16. A nursing assistant infected with the virus remains stable.

The three are a nurse who treated Teresa Romero, a hairdresser who served her and a hospital cleaner were admitted to Madrid’s Carlos III hospital on Friday.

Quarantine 

A government statement today said none of the 16 in quarantine — including Romero’s husband, five doctors and five nurses — have shown any symptoms.

Romero, 44, the first person known to have contracted the disease outside West Africa in the current outbreak, had cared for two Spanish priests who died of Ebola at the hospital in August and September.

    Anyone doing business with Russia needs to be aware that they will get burned. The levels of corruption in Russia would make the Borgias blush. Russia is not a state in the western liberal sense but rather an economy geared towards serving the interests of a few powerful figures such as Putin.

    Never mind Russia..read a little history of western oil if you want mega-scale imperial corruption.

    There is no shortage of books on the issue.
