Something very fishy.
I suspect she does not want to live in her old apartment. Wouldn't you want to move someplace where perhaps the media would not be watching your every move?

The patent was for development of genetic sequences to be used in research on vaccines and anti-viral medications. Nothing sinister about it.

Vaccines:

Ebola Vaccine Could Start Testing In Africa By January : Shots - Health News : NPR

"The World Health Organization says that efforts are on track to distribute an experimental Ebola vaccine in West Africa in January.

Two potential vaccines are now being tested for safety in people, and Russia is developing another one. While quantities will be limited, scientists say even a relatively small supply of vaccine can help bring the epidemic under control."

NBC News Freelancer Ashoka Mukpo Declared Free of Ebola - NBC News

"Ashoka Mukpo, the cameraman diagnosed with Ebola while working in Liberia as a freelancer for NBC News, has been declared free of the virus and will be allowed to leave a biocontainment unit at the Nebraska Medical Center on Wednesday, the hospital said Tuesday.
A blood test confirmed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that Mukpo, 33 — one of eight Americans to have been diagnosed with Ebola — no longer has the virus in his bloodstream, the hospital said. It said he's free to head home to Rhode Island. "Recovering from Ebola is a truly humbling feeling," the hospital quoted Mukpo as saying. "Too many are not as fortunate and lucky as I've been. I'm very happy to be alive."
Good news, maybe some of this hysteria will subside, although I won't hold my breath.

Inside the Ebola Wars

Dr. Humarr Khan, as related by his sister,

“I told him not to go in there, but he said, ‘If I refuse to treat them, who would treat me?’ ”

He died in Sierra Leone, on July 29 of this year, of Ebola. He was 39 years old.
I started this last night and finished this morning.

This is a comprehensive, balanced summary of Ebola/ Africa in laymans terms Thank you for posting the link.

Reportedly,

His fiancé and her and Duncan's son immigrated to the U.S. 16 years ago. She is a naturalized citizen.

There have been 3 Ebola outbreaks in the US, 1989 and 1990 in Reston, Va and 1990 in Alice, Tx. It was limited to imported monkeys in quarantine. That strain of Ebola infected humans but was not lethal.

I have not come across anything about Ebola and fish.

There's a humanitarian angle and then there's all those multinationals operating in West Africa.

We don't know she knew about nurse 1 when she boarded and flew from Dallas to Cleveland
None of us have walked a step in her shoes.
Denial is a powerful instinct.
