CDC: "Breach in protocol" Likely Cause of U.S. Ebola Transmission


A breach of protocol may caused a health care worker at a Dallas hospital to preliminarily test positive for Ebola, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The health care worker, identified as a female nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, had extensive contact on multiple occasions with Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. who died last week.

If confirmed, it would be the first known case of the disease being transmitted in the U.S.  

Dr. Anthony Fauci [[FOW-chee]] of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases told America's NBC News that the nurse may have made a simple mistake removing protective gear, which could reveal a break in protocol.

Pistorius to face sentencing this week

INTRO:  Olympic and paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius will know this week whether he will spend time in prison for shooting and killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February last year. A judge earlier ruled Pistorius was not guilty of intentionally killing his girlfriend, but found him guilty of culpable homicide (manslaughter) and negligence. The state is likely to argue for a prison sentence of up to 15 years, due to the brutal nature of Steenkamp's death. Gary Alfonso reports.
