“Dr Kent Brantly, 33, is being treated in a special isolation ward in Atlanta and was able to walk with help from an ambulance.”

okay....

Im thinking that the meaning of ambulance in the U.K. may not match meaning of the word in common use here in the USA.

it is good to know that survival is possible...nonetheless

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

The word ambulance is the same in the UK as here in the U.S., as far as I know. That sentence is just awkwardly punctuate. I think the sentence should read:

“Dr. Kent Brantly, 33, is being treated in a special isolation ward in Atlanta and was able to walk, with help, from an ambulance.”

In fact those in charge of ObamaCare are monitoring these events and are fully protecting the American people.

“But I’m not dead...”

“That’s all right, you soon will be!”

It was Dr. Tom Frieden, Director of the CDC, who said Dr. Brandtly is improving. I don’t know that the meaning of the word ambulance is relevant.

A lot actually. Hopefully it doesn’t. I am certainly praying about it.

Best wishes to Dr. Brantly. I’ve never met him, but I have friends connected to the family by marriage. He is a good man. The world needs more good men.

We’re being set up for Zero’s Medical Martial Law.

Beginning with the suspension of 2nd ammendment rights.

Followed by nullification of the Constitution.

I don't think anyone at FR wishes bad things for the Dr. or the other American that has come down with this virus. Regardless of how this turns out, this was a potentially dumb and dangerous decision to bring them here for treatment.
