DALLAS – The Texas nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for the first person to die of the virus in the U.S. has been identified as 26-year-old Nina Pham.
Health officials have not released the nurse’s name, but Yahoo News identified Pham through public records and a state nursing database.

I just watched an interview of CNN with a man Tom Ha that has known her and her family since she was in the 8th grade. I think it was said that he taught her Bible class.
>From a devoted Catholic family.
>He sounded and looked Vietnamese.
>The Mother belongs to The Legion of Mary. He sees her regularly as part of a weekly gathering.
>When Ms Pham was accepted to the Christian college, she was elated. He felt that her nursing was not just a career, but a vocation.
>The whole family is involved in charitable works.
>When she was diagnosed with Ebola, she called her church. She spoke to the women there at the time, and they all cried and prayed together.
Please Our Lady, eternal Mother, please protect and cure this young nurse, who has taken the example of Jesus, our Savior and healer, and give her back her health, defeating this disease, so she can go on, and be the blessing that she is to others now unto the future.
I am sure the nurse will be happy to know that Shep Smith (Fox News) has repeatedly stated “Ebola has not spread in the US.” What the heck he means by that, I don’t know. I wonder if he is being told to say that?
Limbaugh quoted a poll where 57% of black Americans said ebola would have been cured by now if it affected white people.
So what is keeping all those brilliant scientists in Africa from producing a cure?
I generally don’t respond to ‘prayer threads’ and that sort of thing, just because it doesn’t seem right to insert myself into someone else’s private business, but I feel obligated to pray for this unfortunate young woman who devoted her life to helping people.
The usual rules don’t apply—that’s part of the problem. Bring them to a hospital, let 50 people treat each one . . . we have to think differently about this. Trolleyology.
I am not really in favor of passing blame. We live in a fallen world and disease and death go along with that. But IF we are to assign blame, I think it would belong to the fibber Duncan.
Well that’s one question.
Another might be why more Blacks don’t study, graduate with degrees, and develop their own cures to things like this.
And I would like to point out, there are good intelligent Blacks in almost every field.
Do these people think Blacks aren’t involved with the development of a cure?
Yes, but he’s not going to be the only one. Hundreds are on their way here.
I wonder how many Blacks today ever heard of Dr. Charles Drew?
Or the disease is MUCH more virulent in its late stages.
Good question.
Sadly, too many in the general Black community seem to think Blacks who study, obtain degrees, and work in conventional successful Western jobs, are just Uncle Toms, sellouts to the Black race, and undeserving of admiration and emulation.
Talk about a defeatist outlook on life...
We’re probably better off if he never leaves the golf course actually...
Liberals believe in the supremacy of the state and bureaucracy. In this case, the protocols of the state are unassailable and it is the individual’s failure, not the state’s.
The myth is out there via Hollywood. In the movie Contagion, the head of the CDC was the black actor, Laurence Fishburne.
Blacks are highly represented in positions of power in the movies, presidents, generals, IT, but they still seem to think that white society is against them. We give them image for them to follow.
But they rather play victim. It is easier that way.
You’re not inserting yourself if they want your prayers. Glad you made an exception here, and may your good work continue.
Dems love victims.
I guess you’re right. Sad really...
Gee, have you not learned anything through the years of the constant droning dem propaganda? Republicans are just so stupid.
The protocols are not a guarantee. No way.
