Errr, what if it’s a different strain? Mutated? Whose willing to take that risk?
Also, what if the immune system doesn’t kick in with the antibodies right away, wouldn’t they then become asymptomatic carriers? Or their high rate of perpetual re-infection would make them like 2000 Typhoid Marys.
According to the specialist who reached Hannity, Ebola mutates quickly.
The same happened with the Black Death. At first it was only caught through flea bites and puss. But it later became airborn.
Speaking of fleas, they inject their host with their waste. I can’t imagine fleas not being carriers. And if not mistaken, other flying insects do the same.
They know they have 7,000 plus of the same strain in West Africa, plus a different strain in in the Congo. The mutations from a given strain do not appear to affect immunity - no one has ever been infected twice during the same outbreak (although admittedly they have never had an outbreak this big). It's a much better bet than hiring people without any immunity to provide care.
Who is willing to take that risk? I imagine a hungry African in a country that is collapsing would be willing to take that risk in return for enough good food for the caregiver and immediate family. I consider it ethical to make that offer because of the comparatively low personal risk and the extremely high community benefit.
