Ebola

Ebola has captivated New Jerseyans, according to a Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU)-PublicMind poll released Monday.

Flu season is underway across the U.S. and as fears about Ebola spread, it's possible that some people could confuse the two viruses since they both exhibit similar symptoms in the beginning.

Nina Pham, the nurse who contracted Ebola in Dallas, flew to the National Institutes of Health in Maryland, but not before filming a thank-you/goodbye video for friends and colleagues.

Earlier today, we interviewed Jamie Garrett of our sister station Newsradio 1400 KTEM in Killeen/Temple, Texas. The folks around that area - including Jamie - are dealing with an Ebola scare and it's closed several schools. Jamie gave us a firsthand account of how everyone is dealing with the situation there.

One health official doesn't think New Jersey should care for Ebola patients.

A second health worker at Dallas Presbyterian Health Hospital was diagnosed with Ebola on Wednesday morning. Apparently the nurse had traveled by air from Cleveland on Monday.
