Dreadful.
This type of thing frightens me more than terrorism.
Do we still have an Ebola czar ? :-)
.
I have no idea but my neighbor has a new smart czar its so dinky
Actually, we had one - Ebola Czar Ron Klain
Ever read “The Stand” by Stephan King? I consider it to be one of his best works, scary because I can totally see it happening.
I hope the “Ebola Czar” is gone, mainly because he is about as competent as Obama. And in any “outrbreak” type of scenario when the government is telling me to not panic, that’s when I know it’s bad.
Did we ever really have an Ebola Czar, or was it just that one person was named that and we are still paying him?
I was thinking about this poor woman today, and something occurred to me. What if she never actually did beat the Ebola virus? Maybe her body just managed to suppress the Ebola to the point where the viral load was so small that she didn’t present with typical Ebola virus symptoms. She did admit to being pretty unhealthy in the nine months since she supposedly beat the disease. Maybe she has just been fighting it for the last nine months. I bet you that she doesn’t have the anti bodies in her blood to fight this disease. Her body probably learned how to suppress the disease but it didn’t actually learn how to kill it.
If you look at the picture taken of her nine months ago after she “beat” the disease , she looked a lot better than her more recent pictures.
I bet she came into contact with somebody who harbored a virus either at the awards gala that she went to or the school that she visited. That secondary infection could have distracted her immune system long enough for the Ebola to escape where it was being suppressed and to get a foothold in her system once again.
I wouldn’t doubt it if the ZMapp drug that she was given merely helped her body to suppress the Ebola virus for a while, but it never actually helped her body to learn how to kill the virus. That is why you probably will not see this happening to the survivors in Africa. Those people were left to either fight the disease and win or die.They weren’t given experimental drugs. They most likely built up actual anti bodies to the virus instead of just suppressing it. Maybe the experimental drugs just managed to put this nurse in remission(kind of like cancer)rather than to help her build up an immunity to the virus.
