“The Norwegian woman, infected by the Ebola in Sierra Leone and currently receiving treatment in Oslo, will get the last dose of the virus treatment medicine ZMapp available in the world.”

As I’ve said before. Is this REALLY the really super duper LAST does of ZMapp or are there more ‘This one is REALLY REALLY REALLY the REALLY last dose of ZMapp’’s floating about in a freezer somewhere...?

Because it really does look like they’ve got a stash. But only for the ‘right sort of people’.

EBOLA-KILLING ROOMBA DEVELOPED

"Ebola killing robot developed in Texas11:16 p.m. EDT October 6, 2014

San Antonio, TX (KENS) - A local invention may turn out to be a key piece of technology in the fight against Ebola. It's a robot used by hospitals to disinfect and destroy bacteria and viruses.

Meet "Little Moe" the germ-zapping robot.

"What's inside here is a xenon bulb," said Mark Stibich, PH.D.

That bulb emits powerful UV light, which fuses the DNA of a virus and kills it. This powerful technology is now being used in 250 hospitals across the U.S. Little Moe was developed in the Alamo City by Xenex. Its customers include the University Health System in San Antonio and the Dallas hospital where doctors are treating the first man ever diagnosed with Ebola in America.

A robot used by hospitals to disinfect and destroy bacteria and viruses may turn out to be the key piece of technology in the fight against Ebola.

"We have been communicating with them and supporting them in any way we can," said Stibich.

Dr. Mark Stibich with Xenex said these robots can rid a hospital room of germs in 5 minutes and destroy Ebola on any surface in 2 minutes.

"The operator will come in they log in," he explained.

And leave the robot in a room by itself. It pulses UV light 1.5 times per second cleaning every surface in a hospital room.

"And what our customers have seen and reported in the medical literature is reduction in these infections in the rate of up to 50 percent," he said.

Dr. Stibich said while the Ebola virus is causing a lot of concern right now, he said, it's not as big as a threat here as it is in Africa because of our superior health care and advanced medical technology."

Ebola, Electronic Medical Records and Epic Systems
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3212648/posts

A Dallas hospital’s bizarre bungle of the first U.S. case of Ebola leaves me wondering: Is someone covering up for a crony billionaire Obama donor and her controversy-plagued, taxpayer-subsidized electronic medical records company? Last week, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital revealed in a statement that a procedural flaw in its online health records system led to potentially deadly miscommunication between nurses and doctors.
