Talk:Ebola virus disease in Spain/Archive 1

Untitled

Note: the initial revisions of this article are taken from a subsection of the article Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa. There is a much more detailed article on the subject in the Spanish-language Wikipedia at es:Ébola en España, which can be used as a source of cited reports to further expand this article. -- Impsswoon (talk) 15:16, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dog sideshow

I've put the story about the dog into this article. It's a sideshow from the serious main business of the article, and I think it still needs trimming down a bit more to reduce undue emphasis, but the fact that a large number of sentimental people actually worried about a dog in the midst of all of this it's an interesting detail that is worth reporting. -- Impsswoon (talk) 15:52, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lede --

in the Lede it says: "led to an outbreak of Ebola virus disease", however so far only a single infection, A nurse tending to the infected, and not an Outbreak, If the nurse has indeed infected some one further, then outbreak may be correct.. I propose using "led to isolated infection of Ebola virus disease", especially since it appears that this is an isolated incident..Gremlinsa (talk) 08:18, 22 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree: the WHO does not regard individual cases of secondary infection of healthworkers like this as constituting an outbreak. -- Impsswoon (talk) 12:10, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
