This is good news for America, bad news for Republicans. They thought they would be able to use Ebola as a boogeyman, scaring Americans into voting for them this November. But with stories like this, Republicans will just have to go back to their other scare tactics, like, OMG, there us a black man in the White House!
Doctors no longer detect Ebola in a Texas nurse who flew to Ohio and back before she was diagnosed with the virus, her family said Wednesday.
Officials at Emory University Hospital and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention couldn’t detect Ebola in Amber Vinson as of Tuesday evening, her family said in a statement released through a media consultant. Doctors usually do two tests a day apart before saying they can’t detect the virus. It’s unclear how many tests Vinson has had.
Vinson’s mother, Debra Berry, spoke to her Wednesday, and Vinson has been approved for transfer from isolation, the statement said.
“We all know that further treatment will be necessary as Amber continues to regain strength, but these latest developments have truly answered prayers and bring our family one step closer to reuniting with her at home,” Berry said.
Vinson, 29, remains in treatment at Emory, near Atlanta. Emory wouldn’t release any information about the patient, hospital spokeswoman Holly Korschun said.
