I’m watching the 10:00 news right now that just started and they are saying he is fighting for his life. Not dead yet

Politically controlled news. No release till the spin is written for it.

No news at all on several other cases now in the US, and for the same reason.

If he was improving, they would have video of him on his Iphone texting away.

The news here said he was unconscious, on a ventilator, and on dialysis.

My issue is that your verbage states the medical staff will be vaccinated as if there is a good Ebola vaccine. There really isn't. Nothing really tested and deployable. Besides, which Ebola strain is covered? Would you bet your life that you got the right thing? How many "flu" shots have you taken and had the flu anyway? It's an unproved crap shoot.

Aside from whether it is proven, there is a whole 1,000 doses. Even if it worked well, that's not very many compared to the potential exposure.

from the article I cited:
“ the Canadian government donated up to 1,000 doses of the experimental inoculation to the World Health Organization more than six weeks ago.”

Those donated 1,000 doses were/are targeted for medical staff - under ethical guidelines - if I remember the previous coverage correctly. According to the article, additional doses should be available within a few weeks. These will also most likely go to medical/critical staff - for the same ethical reasons.

I think the staff is better trained.

The FedGov is a big, fat, slobbering, drooling, demonic Jabba The Hut stealing (taxes) from the American people to carry out their boondoggles. Half are harebrained schemes. The other half are evil and calculating. Brainwashing and manipulating the low information sheeple into not caring much what goes on
