Wrap: Weeks after Senate appropriations chair Kurt Schaefer slammed the health department for not having an Ebola plan, a Jefferson county hospital is evaluating a nurse for the virus.
We tried getting information from the health department--to which a vial containing the patient's blood has been sent--on the situation but to no avail.
