Ebola victim diagnosed day after flight

Fears of the ebola virus have deepened with word that a second US nurse caught the disease from a patient and flew across the country’s mid-west aboard an airliner the day before she was diagnosed.

It’s not clear how the nurse contracted the virus, though the second case among health workers pointed to lapses beyond how one individual may have donned and removed protective clothing.

Authorities declined to say what type of care the nurse provided to Thomas Eric Duncan, who was diagnosed with ebola after coming to the US from Liberia. He died on October 8.
