For the last 48 hours I have been very VERY worried. My younger DD is manager of the lab at this hospital, and has been on duty almost continuously since her shift started Friday morning:

Thanks all. Yes, I am very relieved for my DD and happy for the patient as well.

I bet you are! What a scare! Glad that it wasn't Ebola.
U.
Yes, that is great news! I know you are relieved.
I'm glad that you are relieved of concern. We have been done a great injustice by the media, spurred by some politicians, by portraying ebola as much more contagious than it is. As I saw on Facebook, more people have been married to Kim Kardashian than have died of ebola in the U.S. But fear and panic are doing us no good, either.
My worry was for a beloved family member who was *handling bodily fluids* of a possible Ebola patient. Her hospital was one of six in the area which were designated for future Ebola patient care. However, they had not yet had all the scheduled training in donning protective gear, and other critical measures to protect themselves, other staff and the public.
She was on duty for 41 hours over a three day period, one of only two lab techs to perform tests on the patient's specimens.
I don't think my justifiable concern could be classified as panic. I'm fairly certain the two nurses in Dallas were being very careful.

The panic didn't appear to be in the healthcare sector. They tend to be better informed. No, it was in the news, on TV, radio, even in Congress. It seems to be over now, and I hope it will stay that way. With our general state of health and our healthcare, nobody should be in serious danger from ebola, anyway. IIRC, the one person who died was sent home from the hospital before he was diagnosed. That shouldn't happen now that we have testing available.
