And secondly their natural immunity may make them prime candidates for donating blood for transfusions to help treat victims. Yep, that's the ticket.

Fine, but how do you know you have immunity? Kiss a guy with Ebola, and if you aren’t dead in a week, congratulations?

So this is why flights haven’t been halted - we’re trying to get these naturally immune people into the United States.

I have discovered through long and intensive research that I am immune to anorexia.

Sorry to tell you this, but there will not be a large number of Africans with immunity to Ebola. We do not know for certain if having a “weak case” of Ebola immunizes anyone against a “strong case” of Ebola or even if they had Ebola at all.
Hope is not a strategy, anyway.

If this immunity can be confirmed and identified, it could, a team of researchers from the University of Florida and the University of Texas say, change the strategy for fighting the disease. Go Gators (and Hook 'Em Horns)!

There is only one way to find out, and I am not volunteering.

They suggest those found to be naturally immune to Ebola could help slow the spread of the disease in two important ways. Those found naturally immune to ebola could become like Abby in the series Survivors.
Reality mirroring movieland, again.

Too late. Trying to identify people with immunity? When we can't even identify the people who have it?
In 2009, Obama was handed a request by the CDC to set up a total of 18 centers to fight ebola. That was five years ago. None of their requests were acted upon. If Obama had been doing his job instead of going on numerous 8-hour golf outings, then maybe we would have been prepared for this thing.
Obama dropped he ball big time.

So 30% of those who have had it survived and are then immune - Why don’t they take over the health care duties for nurses. Just don’t care or what. Too much work?
