2nd Ebola case confirmed in U.S.

Dr. Salia has passed away from Ebola. This, after an initial negative test for the disease.

When Martin Salia’s Ebola test came back negative, his friends and colleagues threw their arms around him. They shook his hand. They patted him on the back. They removed their protective gear and cried.

But when his symptoms remained nearly a week later, Salia took another test, on Nov. 10. This one came back positive, sending the Sierra Leonean doctor with ties to Maryland on a desperate, belated quest for treatment and forcing the colleagues who had embraced him into quarantine.

“We were celebrating. If the test says you are Ebola-free, we assume you are Ebola-free,” said Komba Songu M’Briwa, who cared for Salia at the Hastings Ebola Treatment Center in Freetown. “Then everything fell apart.”

The news is finally reporting something useful: drink a gallon of water a day and with replenishing electrolytes.

Going into it, if you think you have it - focus relentlessly on hydrating because once you are deep into it you aren't going to want fluids. If you go into it already in a state of dehydration - then you are far more likely to die.

I thought insulting pictures and posts that were designed to nothing but bait and belittle a poster were no longer allowed. I will get it all figured out one day

My health care provider asked me when I came in today whether I had traveled internationally in the last 21 days, and whether I had exposure to anyone with a list of Ebola symptoms.

The blimp is on the left side of the tower, so it's ok.
