Isaiah 54:17 NCV So no weapon that is used against you will defeat you. You will show that those who speak against you are wrong. These are the good things my servants receive. Their victory comes from me,” says the Lord.
Ashoka Mukpo, the NBC freelance cameraman who contracted Ebola while working with NBC’s medical reporter in Africa, has been declared free of the virus.
Mukpo announced the news via Twitter.
“Just got my results. 3 consecutive days negative. Ebola free and feeling so blessed. I fought and won, with lots of help. Amazing feeling,” Mukpo tweeted. “Recovering from Ebola is a truly humbling feeling. Too many are not as fortunate and lucky as I’ve been. I’m very happy to be alive.”
Mukpo spent two weeks in a biocontainment unit. He said despite his ordeal he had no regrets about covering the outbreak in Liberia.
“For the record – no idea how I got it. It was something fluky. My best guess is I touched a surface and didn’t chlorinate fast enough,” he tweeted. “I was around a lot of sick people the week before I got sick. Thought I was keeping a good distance, wish I knew exactly what went wrong.”
Two other Americans with the virus are still fighting the disease. The National Institutes of Health is treating nurse Nina Pham and upgraded her condition from fair to good.
