First Ebola case recorded in New York as doctor tests positive for the deadly virus

According to reports, Dr Craig Spencer (pictured above), who treated Ebola patients while working for the charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) in Guinea has tested positive to Ebola. The 33-year old doctor left Guinea on 14 October, and returned to New York City on 17 October. He however, began to show symptoms of the virus on Tuesday and contacted medical services as he suspected he could be infected with the virus. He is currently being kept in isolation in the city’s Bellevue Hospital.
The doctor is the first Ebola case diagnosed in New York, and the fourth in the US.
The WHO has said the treatment for this deadly virus should be available in a couple of weeks and I keep reading about millions of dollars being donated for the fight of this virus. I really hope that a solution comes soon and those infected recover soon too.

Anyway, please remain happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo.
