Dr. Sacra has 'a cold'; Ebola 'unlikely'
Telegram & Gazette ---> Front PageIn Worcester, Dr. Richard A. Sacra the man from Holden who was treated for the Ebola virus last month in a Nebraska hospital remains in isolation. He remains in UMass Memorial Medical Center with a respiratory alignment. Dr. Sacra will stay here until blood work is analyzed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There is no risk to the general public or to any workers at the medical center. The doctors stress that they do not feel it is any relapse of Ebola, that it might just be a fever. The symptoms that are being shown aren't consistent with Ebola symptoms. Once Ebola is caught you can not catch it again.
I first heard about Dr. Sacra's situation through twitter. I didn't know if I should believe it or not because it was through twitter. Than again it was from the Telegram and Gazette twitter site. I couldn't believe that a man was being isolated for Ebola at UMass Memorial. That is close to where I live and that was the same place I did my internship this summer. I do feel that the press is blowing this situation up because the doctors are saying Dr. Sacra most likely just has a bad fever and you can't catch Ebola again.
