This, on the heels of a popular doctor in Sierra Leone catching the disease.
It is a dangerous disease. I know that health care workers are supposed to cover themselves completely with protective clothing, but I wonder if that is enough. Laboratory workers wear spacesuits to research the virus, maybe that is the only safe way to be around it.
I wish the best for this doctor.

I believe his wife, and two children just returned to TX a day or two ago to visit family. There’s no mention of her husband contracting the disease on the brantleybunch.com.
His wife, Amber assisted with meals at the hospital/ELWA.
His children are very young. The Brantleys are extremely devout Christians.

No good deed goes unpunished.
That’s really too bad.
I hope God is merciful to someone like this.

“Dr. Kent Brantly, medical director at one of the country’s two treatment centers run by the organization, recognized his own symptoms and confined himself to an isolation ward.”
Good for him. I pray this guy gets better.

It was not immediately clear how he caught Ebola. The relief group's Melissa Strickland said that he had followed strict safety protocols when treating patients. Let's hope ebola hasn't gone airborne.

His immune system failed him.
Probably because it had to work WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY TOO HARD over there in lovely Africa.
He ought to come back to HealthyLand, USA and restore his immune system to something resembling normal.

Prayers up for this doc.
He is in the Elwa hospital just outside Monrovia. I visited that hospital a few years ago, it seemed to be one of the few facilities of anykind that actually worked properly in that country.

Bring Out Your Dead
![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UsFymRjvS6M/SwRkYCzQajI/AAAAAAAAAms/nrmLfrl5PsI/s1600/bringout.jpg)
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
