Wait just a minute. I thought there were 3 doses. Brantly got the first and Writebol got the other two and that was the end of it. But then there’s this - http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/21/health/ebola-treatment-drug/index.html saying another one was sent to the Spanish priest who may or may not have lived long enough for it and 3 Liberians who got it. Just how many doses are there?

How come the Norwegian says she doesn’t feel like she ever had Ebola after barely two weeks of being admitted to the hospital but Brantly is still weak and recovering slowly?

There are apparently enough doses for the ‘right sort of people’. If you’re not that sort, then you’re SOL.

Brantly gets around. Reportedly, he was driving from Indiana to Texas when he received a call from doctors treating Ashoka Mukpo in Omaha telling him his blood type matched. So, he made a stop in Kansas City to donate blood, which was then flown to Omaha.
