No, for real; it’s hilarious. As Twitchy readers know, President Obama had a photo op with nurse Nina Pham, who has been declared Ebola-free.

Not to be outdone, did Joe Biden do this?

The nurse who has contracted Ebola while helping provide care for Thomas Duncan, the Liberian man who died from the virus in Dallas, has been named:

Nina Pham's family provided that picture to WFAA and confirmed that she is the 2nd #Ebola patient in the city.

A Los Angeles Times reporter tried to get in touch with the nurse not long after her name was released to the public:

@Nina_Pham hoping to reach you please call 213-265-8572

— Molly Hennessy-Fiske (@mollyhf) October 12, 2014

Requests were made to give Pham a break:

@mollyhf @Nina_Pham You must be kidding. Poor girl is sick and in hospital. Leave her alone

— Conway (@wpxstar) October 13, 2014

@wpxstar @mollyhf @Nina_Pham couldn't agree more. This is disgusting.
