Nina Pham, one of the two Texas nurses infected with Ebola, posted a video late Thursday night from her hospital in Dallas. Pham, who appears to be in good health in the one-minute clip, has since been transferred to the National Institute of Health for her treatment.
In the video, Pham jokes with her co-workers about accompanying her to the NIH ("Come. Come to Maryland," she says. "Party. Party in Maryland") and bids them a tearful goodbye ("No crying," one of her colleagues instructs, as Pham is given a tissue). The best news of the video is that Pham, who was diagnosed with Ebola five days ago, looks healthy.
Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
