What do they know?

A heck of a lot more about medicine than the rest of us do.

A human who contracts ebola is lucky to survive. One who does is left in a weakened condition, perhaps even with lingering or permanent disabilities. An immune system that has fought for survival is at risk for further challenges.

It takes time to completely recover, even when the virus has run its course.

All three of the ebola survivors who have been dismissed from American hospitals (Dr. Sacra, Dr. Brantly, and Mrs. Writebol) had multiple blood tests that showed no viral presence before they were dismissed.

It is very likely that Dr. Sacra is suffering from a secondary infection, one his weakened immune system is struggling to fight.

Just pray for Dr. Sacra and keep the unkind thoughts to yourself. Please.

Hang on.

I think we have a problem.

We know that Ebola can be transmitted in semen up to 60 days after recovery.

Tested and found no viral presence? I don't know that this is true, but if true, I find it surprising.
