I thought I read where it was several months,,, not just one. Hope he knows.

I read that the recovering victim is now immune or at least resistant to the version of the virus they survived. BUT: they are very weak, and there is no way of knowing how many versions there really are.

There are several known, but if you saw another victim, you wouldn’t immediately know which they had or if it was the same that you’d had.

SO, for a variety of reasons, including the fact that Ebola attacks the muscles and weakens the body, he really shouldn’t go right back into the fray.

[mountainbunny]

Now that DR. DoGooder has been “cured” at taxpayer expense, I suggest he get his arse back to africa, since ostensibly he is now immune

It's all about the money, right?

You know, you've missed your calling if you're not working at Planned Parenthood! You could explain to parents how expensive kids are, especially the sick ones, and how much better abortion is.

Christian missionaries are on your hate list?

There is limited immunity at best. We think so because survived patients’ serum can be used with modest success in a newly infected patient. However, there have not been enough trials of antibody therapy to make a definite statement on this.

[CorporateStepsister]

I’ll have to research that.

“We think so because survived patients’ serum can be used with modest success in a newly infected patient. However, there have not been enough trials of antibody therapy to make a definite statement on this.”

This is something that should certainly be researched.

It can be up to 61 days until he stops shedding virii in his bodily fluids.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

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...

Thanks for the ping!

Wow! If this is true, why are they letting him go and stating he is free of Ebola?

” why are they letting him go and stating he is free of Ebola?”

Good news to blunt bad news coming tomorrow?

Did you see the press conference? NBC interrupted regular programming. It was over the top especially since Nancy was already released on Tuesday.

You’re Welcome, Alamo-Girl!

I'd guess the same reason they brought him here with full blown Ebola, rather than treat him there.

F**K YOU! Do you honestly believe that if it were you over there with ebola that 0bama and his gang would've flown a special plan over to bring you back here? The whole point of bringing infected "do-gooders" from africa to the US was not to cure them, it was to spread the wealth.

They brought those people to Dobbins ARB, about five miles from my house, so unless you've got more skin in the game go to hell!

[The Sons of Liberty]

Christian missionaries are on your hate list?

No, but the libs running the NIH and the CDC, along with 0bama's goons who unilaterally decided that it was OK to risk the entire US population are! Those missionaries went there of their own accord, and presumably knew the risks when then went. To risk a pandemic in the US to save two do-gooders is insane. We got lucky this time with these two, but it will be used as a precedent and our luck will not hold out. Count on it.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Too bad you couldn’t just shoot him, huh? Save the expense? I am guessing he had insurance through his employer who paid for his transport from Africa to the hospital here

The planes carrying them should never have been allowed in US airspace. Once here, there was no security on the 20+ mile trip from Dobbins ARB to Emory Hospital. ISIS has pledged to kill us, and what better way than a ebola pandemic orchestrated by his heinous, king 0bama. Even a pinhead such as yourself SHOULD be able to grasp this.

[ansel12]

I doubt that the two missionaries and the soldiers and researchers and CDC people that have been traveling to Africa since 1976 to fight Ebola outbreaks, were thinking of you cutting them off from coming home to be treated at our top facilities, when they are sent there.

The unit at Emory was built especially to treat them and the researchers working with Ebola and other such diseases inside of the United States.

Ebola has been here and in Canada for many years.

Cite one instance.

[ansel12]

What do you think they infect the animals with, for instance in San Diego and in other American and Canadian research companies?
