“I
never contacted his fluids .i checked his Vitals, helped him with his
food.(he was too weak)…..i basically touched where his hands touched and
dats d only contact. not directly wt his fluids.@a stage, he yanked off
his infusion and we had blood everywhere on his bed…..but d ward maids
took care of that and changed his linens with great precaution. Every
patient is treated as high risk ….if it were airborne, by now wahala for
dey. i still thank God.”
“Friends, up to our uniforms n all linens were burnt off. we r on surveillance n off work till 11th.
Our samples v long bn taken by WHO n so far we v been fine.

According to the admin of the FB group, Justina went into quarantine after that post and has now tested positive to Ebola.
While Justina is receiving what care is available to sick patients,
there is high possibility she might die, and they have now started a
campaign to pressure the US Govt and Big Pharma to send the experimental
drugs to Nigeria and the rest of West Africa where Ebola is ravaging.
