Do you make any assumptions that once having the disease you have a immunity to it?

What they generally say is that once wrapped up from this.....you are immune. But I would question the idea that this won’t evolve and start to present different strains, which means you’d face it a second time around.

I’ve recently read that around fifteen percent of the folks in this region of Africa....have never had it....but are thought to be totally immune. The thinking is that they’ve had some type of other infection that made Ebola a non-player....but the research here is limited.

Generally, things evolve. It might not happen in weeks or months, but could take a couple of years.
