to treat Boston doctor with Ebola

I've never heard of treating someone with ebola.

Must be some radical, new therapy.

Nebraska, actually. They have a “Biocontainment Patient Care Unit” there.

A lot of us figured this would happen several weeks back when it was announced that the CDC came in to inspect the facility.

Nebraska Medical Center to treat Boston doctor with Ebola

Spread the wealth. First Atlanta, now Nebraska. Soon Hussein will be bringing over planeloads of infected africans under the guise that since we did it with a few Americans, we can save the world. BTW - the patients were transported from the airport to the hospital, a distance of around 25 miles over interstates and main thoroughfares with absolutely no security, only the news crews. If ISIS wants to create havoc and start a pandemic ...

Was thinking the same thing.

What a radical new treatment.

But, aren’t people given dead viruses in order to build immunity? But, I doubt anybody wants the Ebola virus, not even dead.
