NYC doc upgraded to stable. Dallas nurse gets dog back. Paul Farmer was right. Surviving Ebola is a matter of care.

Unconfirmed info, but reliable sources are telling me a Liberian woman who was on the 'monitor' list is now symptomatic. 102 degree fever at hospital in Portland, OR.
Rumor is that tests are positive (there has been enough time for a PCR), but won't be released to the media until late tonight or tomorrow morning.
...more if I get it.

After lots of poking around I think I am ready to conclude that #Ebola in #Liberia has indeed plummeted. Only 3 cases were found today. 3.
Much hunting 4 hidden #Ebola cases here in #Liberia but none found. All players here feel virus is on the run. But fear smoldering embers.

@Laurie_Garrett in Lofa and Monrovia yes, other places are either increasing or information flow is really bad and we don't know

At church services this AM here in #Liberia the gospel choir sang, "Be strong!" as the preacher exhorted worshipers to fight disease w/unity.

Ebola spreading nine times faster in Sierra Leone
Ebola is spreading up to nine times faster in parts of Sierra Leone than it was two months ago, according to a new report from health specialists.
On average, 12 new cases a day were seen in the rural areas surrounding Freetown in late October, nine times more than the 1.3 cases seen in early September.
Transmission was also increasing rapidly in Freetown, with the average number of daily cases six times higher than two months ago.
"Whilst new cases appear to have slowed in Liberia, Ebola is continuing to spread frighteningly quickly in parts of Sierra Leone," the Africa Governance Initiative (AGI) report said on Sunday.
The analysis was based on three-day averages of new cases recorded by Sierra Leone's health ministry.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — Authorities in Sierra Leone said Sunday that another doctor there has tested positive for Ebola, marking a setback for efforts to keep desperately needed health care workers safe in the West African country ravaged by the deadly virus.
Government Chief Medical Officer Dr. Brima Kargbo confirmed on Sunday that a fifth doctor in Sierra Leone had tested positive. The other four all have died from the virus that has killed nearly 5,000 across West Africa.
The sick physician has been identified as Dr. Godfrey George, medical superintendent of Kambia Government Hospital in northern Sierra Leone. He was driven to the capital, Freetown, after reporting he wasn't feeling well.

NC: Duke Hospital Monitoring Patient
Posted 9:08 p.m. yesterday
Updated 8 minutes ago
Excerpts:
Durham, N.C. — The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services is monitoring a patient at Duke University Hospital in Durham who traveled from Liberia and has developed a fever.
State health officials said Sunday night that the patient departed Liberia and arrived Friday at Newark (N.J.) Liberty International Airport, had no symptoms upon arrival and had no known exposure to Ebola while in Liberia.
The patient, whose age and gender were not released, took a bus from New Jersey to Durham County, according to state epidemiologist Dr. Megan Davies. He or she arrived in Person County on Saturday and developed a fever on Sunday.
Davies said the patient self-monitored and called the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at the onset of fever. The CDC immediately called the state Division of Public Health.
The person was transferred in a specialized EMS vehicle – with staffers wearing protective gear – to Duke University Hospital “using the appropriate health and safety protocols,” officials said.
Results are expected early Monday morning.
Davies said if the test is negative for Ebola, the person would be held in isolation for 72 hours while the test is repeated for confirmation.
