Well, I wonder...just what if it is ebola again that he has, or I mean that he still has, how many more infected might there be now?
And I said I wonder because I sure won't worry about it. I just can't help but see how loose our borders are and how those in charge are not protecting those borders in any way when there are ways they could.
So, it's down to us protecting ourselves. And that is all I might have to worry about.

An American patient treated for Ebola in Nebraska and then released is now in isolation in a hospital in Massachusetts.

Dr. Richard Sacra went to an emergency room early Saturday in Boston with a cough and fever, according to the missionary organization Serving in Mission. He was afraid he might have pneumonia.

Because of his previous infection, he was transferred to the UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, the center said in a statement.

Doctors there don't believe his symptoms point to a recurrence of Ebola but instead a respiratory infection. But they are keeping Sacra in isolation in accordance with guidelines from the CDC until the health institute gives the all-clear.

"Dr. Sacra came to the hospital with a fever and slight cough. Today, he is in stable condition, his symptoms seem to be improving, and he is eating," said lead physician Dr. Robert Finberg.

"We're waiting for final test results from the CDC, which we expect to receive late Monday," Finberg said
