If it is incurable, is there any chance for him?
With all respect, it doesn't matter. The Creator is in control of whatever outcome. Intercede for the guy.
30% iirc from class, maybe higher.
I rather imagine that this doctor is much healthier in general than the patients he treats in Africa. Hoping, praying that his system can combat this monster.
50% to 90% fatal according to cdc.
I think in this case the word incurable means that medicine has no cure, other than treating the symptoms and hoping the body heals itself. The fatality rate in this outbreak is about 70%, as I recall. That means that about 30% do recover, but it's the body's immune system that beats it, not any medicine.
And as another poster pointed out, it's really God who is in control. May God have mercy on this servant of His, and restore him to full health so that he may continue to heal others.
I heard on the news 8% of ebola victims survive. I have NO idea if it is true
He’s dead Jim.
There is a chance in a million or maybe 100 million. There are only a handfull of known survivors.
That said, if God deems to take a hand in saving the good doctor then it probably could be deemed a miracle. God created the virus and put it among us and at this point it seems that He is the only one who might bring the doc through it because he certainly hasn’t yet revealed any cure to man.
Not incurable. This outbreak has 55% mortality. Source -> http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/29/5946455/two-americans-in-west-africa-have-ebola-why-arent-they-coming-home .
of course. prayer can make a huge difference.
stats show 10% survival rate.
There are those who have survived this.......
I've read that the survival rate is somewhere in the vicinity of 5%.Not very good odds surely.But if he's getting expert care one might think that his chances are better than that.
Good grief....they’re making it sound like Ebola is the Calcutta Plague.
The survival rate is about 40 percent.
He will probably die.
