Brantley just got there yesterday afternoon.
He’s improving from what specific state of health? The fatigue from the long trip? Or from the effects of Ebola?
What did they do for him that less ythan 24 hrs later he’s improving.
CDC is blowing smoke.
Before he arrived in Atlanta, Dr. Brantley received a blood transfusion from a 14-year-old that survived the virus, which apparently has worked for some patients in the past. Perhaps it is working this time as well. That is my prayer.
I wonder how Nancy is doing. Has she arrived also, or is she still in Africa? She is the one who received the experimental serum.
What did they do for him that less ythan 24 hrs later he’s improving.
Answered prayer.
Replace the fluids he was losing?
He has also received blood from one of his recovered patients, for the antibodies.
This is from a 1995 outbreak. “”By the time Robert Colebunders arrived in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of Congo (known as Zaire at the time), on June 15 of 1995, the Ebola virus had ravaged the city of 250,000 and the neighboring area for nearly 6 months. The hospitals in the riverport town were empty; patients and healthcare workers had fled to other parts of the country for fear of contracting the deadly disease, which would ultimately affect 317 people and kill 245.””

“”“The Americans and Scientists from the States didnt believe it could work,” says Colebunders, but the Congolese doctors did it anyway. The same blood transfusion procedure was repeated for seven others who were ill, the final group of Ebola-stricken patients in the hospital.
The results were staggering: seven of the eight survived.””
