I am kind of surprised that this isn’t happening already in Liberia and other locations...Rounding up survivors and obtaining plasma for remaining sick. The more that they can cure from this disease, the more the blood/plasma is available. Money/donations can help reimburse, recompense people willing to donate their blood.

Question in general...has it been proven that donated blood cures, or just simply is part of the treatment process? Curious to know the effectiveness overall...

Also, any more news about anti-HIV medication that the African doctor used to treat his patients?

It's not proven (for Ebola -- donor antibodies definitely work for some other viruses) and there just aren't enough case studies/data at this time to know for sure.
