NBC News Cameraman Infected With Ebola

Matthew 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

A cameraman working for NBC News has tested positive for Ebola while on assignment with the network’s medical reporter.

NBC Chief Medical Editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman had a team of three others working with her in Liberia when the cameraman fell ill with a fever.  He self-isolated himself until he could be tested for the virus by Doctors Without Borders who confirmed the infection.

He is being flown to the United States for treatment.

Ashoka Mukpo was the second cameraman for Snyderman and had begun working for the network on Tuesday.  He had been working in Liberia and posted on his Facebook page about the situation in Liberia.

“Man oh man i have seen some bad things in the last two weeks of my life,” he wrote.  “How unpredictable and fraught with danger life can be. How in some parts of the world, basic levels of help and assistance that we take for granted completely don’t exist for many people. The raw coldness of deprivation and the potential for true darkness that exists in the human experience. I hope that humanity can figure out how we can take care of each other and our world.”

Dr. Snyderman says the amount of virus in Mukpo is low and that he should have a good diagnosis.

  1. So, what did you think chemical warfare in 2014 would look like? Vietnam was a testing ground for chemical warfare…. why wouldn’t people who want to “cut our heads off” infect people with a deadly synthesized unnatural virus that could do the job so much more efficiently…..
    How convenient that they can blame the monkeys and the birds……
