Well - No.
The best hope is to shut down air travel from the afflicted regions and let the epidemic burn out.
Unless the disease changes, we are on track for 2-3 million deaths in the next twelve months. Most of these deaths will be in Africa. It is too late for medical intervention to stop this.
This will render any vaccines or ZMapp treatments useless.
Makes me wonder if the patients who received ZMapp and died had a strain different enough for the ZMapp to be useless.
Thanks for the ping!
>>”Everyone knows the story of how the closely related cowpox virus protects against smallpox.
There may be a natural member of the Ebola family that does the same thing. 13 people have been infected with Ebola Reston and seroconverted. None of them got sick. So there is a reasonable chance that Reston is a natural vaccine to Ebolas Zaire.
Bit drastic to infect a large population on purpose with a virus, but that’s what we did with cowpox.”<<
Saw this posted elsewhere and was wondering what those skate than I think of this.
