(Reuters) - The family of Amber Vinson, one of two Dallas nurses infected with Ebola, said on Wednesday that tests by medical officials were no longer able to detect the virus in her body.

How did this miracle happen so fast. Did she even have Ebola?
When reached by The Dallas Morning News Wednesday evening, Emory spokesperson Janet Christenbury said she was “not aware of that at all.” She said she would provide an update as soon possible. Emails have also been sent to the Centers for Disease Control.
Previously, Vinson’s family has not allowed Emory or the CDC to comment on Vinson’s condition.
And she’s black. I thought we didn’t give black people good treatment.
I’m glad she is getting well.
Wow that was fast. I wonder what treatment she was given.
This is great news.
But our brave Prez hugged some nurses and wasn't afraid.
Add No. 19 to my bucket list....and move it to the top.
How does the Emory Spokesperson not know that Vinson has been removed from isolation?
Surely the family isn’t lying but it just seems so weird.
I want to hear her doctors say she’s Ebola free ... won’t believe anyone else.
The spokeman isn’t going to release any info without permission.
Communication hasn’t been a strong point since this thing began.
It seems that if Ebola is detected early and treated in Europe or the US, the survivability increases greatly.
"The span of time from onset of symptoms to death is usually between 6 and 16 days. By the second week of the infection, the patient will either experience a full recovery or undergo systemic multiorgan failure."

Ebola is mostly an either/or disease, either you die or you recover. Medicine can help recovery along or postpone death a few days or more. Some cases in Africa were severe and then slowly recovered.
They need to give Nina the miracle cure because she sure isn’t over it yet
Maybe in some cases. I suspect most cases are up to the patient and not the medical treatment although the treatment should help in some of the cases.
I pray this is true. Our nurses should not pay the price for Duncan’s sins.
Could the administration handler’s be that powerful to use a few people as expendable pawns, so to enable him to take the high road and say, “See I Told You So, The Ebola Threat Was Way OverBlown”?
There seems to be too much deception and lack of departmental communication goong on, presently.
I don’t get it. How can the other nurse, Pham, who got it earlier, not be cured yet, and this one is? Something fishy here.
She received serum from a white dude.
