Thanks Jedidah. I finally did just that. I think young Dr. Brantly should have been given the serum rather than the 60-yr old woman. He’s only 33 and has two children to raise. Hopefully both victims will rally and survive.
He’s a medical professional. I would hope that his decision to give the serum to her was not entirely unselfish, that it may have indicated that his condition is improving and she needed it more.
We’re just sitting here armchair-quarterbacking. I feel sure the docs there know more than we do.
Unlike many, including some on this thread, I have no problem whatsoever with bringing either of these Americans back for treatment, if they’re up to the trip (which is questionable). Our medical community is completely capable of quarantining them and treating them in isolation. This awful disease is a threat worldwide if it escapes Africa, and we need to learn all we can about it and prepare.
