What are we not being told?

It is reported that she was taken by ambulance, under police escort, to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow this morning.

She is said to have been under routine monitoring by the Infectious Diseases Team at the hospital, that her condition remains stable, and that following a detailed assessment we can be assured that there is no risk to the public.

Nothing adds up. A police escort for routine monitoring. She remains stable, so was she not stable this morning? There has been a detailed assessment, that does not sound like anything routine.

Is the Nursing and Midwifery Council behind this because it lost the case against her for professional misconduct?

One of the impacts of Ebola is that the organs start to pack up due to the str5ess they received during the illness.

Possible.

I understand that, but why the police escort for something routine and the other information about her being stable and there being nothing for us to worry about?

It is a very odd state of affairs.

afraid of public panic? she should have been kept in solitary for at least a year

Very true WM, but I've long given up trying to second guess the authorities. They lie to us by habit as much as by necessity.

I expect they just had to get her to hospital very quickly, I doubt that the virus can ever be totally removed and if can liquify organs at any time. Very irresponsible of her to go there they did not need people just the drugs. I wonder how all the soldiers who were sent there fared?

With hindsight you are probably right, Vic. She should certainly have not been allowed back into work at Blantyre Health Centre where she was in contact with the already ill.

It now turns out that she was taken to hospital because she was unwell. so the routine monitoring claim was nonsense. However, because she was unwell it was deemed necessary to check if she was infected with Ebola - she isn't.

Is this how things will be for the rest of her life? She sneezes - an ambulance with police escort turns up. If the authorities are so concerned that she could have a relapse then it has to be wrong for her to be in a public facing role. Tough on her, yes, but the safety of the public must come first.
