My money is on Nancy Writebol.

She was just given the experimental serum and they’re going to want to monitor her closely.

Heard that too, they had one dose of meds that MAY help, and the other doctor said to give it to her. Both of them are coming home.

Not a doctor but perhaps if she survives, some sort of antibodies may be in her body that could help others.

I think you’re probably correct. Some people do survive Ebola anyway, and if she’s still alive and well enough to travel, even on a specially equipped plane, she either has some natural resistance or perhaps was given some treatment there (I believe she was treated by American medical personnel) that helped her to survive thus far.

Please let me know your source for “the experimental serum” given to Nancy Writebol. Many thanks.

Never mind, I found a ton of articles about the doc and the missionary. Personally, I think it’s a crime that the 33-year-old doc with two young children gave up the serum to a 60-year-old woman. I can understand his thinking was flawed by the disease; someone else should have made the decision for him.
