So, how fast were the two Texas nurses released?

On Day Ten after initial symptoms, he was transferred to Germany for intensive treatment.

I'm beginning to think that early treatment (including off label anti-virals) has the best success before the rapid rise of the viral loads. Can't prove it, but that seems to be the indications from different sources. That is also why I believe Duncan was symptomatic when he flew to the US. His disease course seemed to be far more advanced.

You may be correct about the early treatment with anti-virals, and antibodies may help, too (from plasma).

There is the possibility that the timeline is either being messed with to keep the narrative intact in Duncan's case, or, even more likely, that the entire infection to symptomatic timeline is dependent on initial viral load and means of infection. (IOW, not so hard and fast as we have been led to believe.)

That opens another kettle of worms, especially when it comes to declaring someone "Ebola free" and safe to live a normal life. Longer quarantines may be indicated, both prior to declaring someone 'clean' and after infection as well.
