Nurses' Union: Liberian Ebola Patient Was Not Isolated for Several Hours (CNS News)

(CNSNews.com) - Jean Ross, co-president of National Nurses United - the nation’s largest nursing union – told C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” Wednesday that for “several hours” Liberian Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan was not isolated while “in the throws of raging Ebola infection” with vomiting and diarrhea.

“Just horrible things we heard about linen being piled practically up to the ceiling, the patient himself not being isolated for several hours. And this was a patient in the throws of raging Ebola infection, which means lots of bodily secretions – vomiting, diarrhea, etcetera,” Ross said.
