“Perhaps a chance to study and find a cure.”
Yes I think you have hit on it. I hope the poor man survives and it may not be dangerous bringing one person in a bubble to the CDC containment center. It does seem odd since its never been done before. They are probably trying to come up with a vaccine or something.
They’ve already got a vaccine that will begin clinical trials in September.
They’ve got several antiviral drugs that are being tested right now.
If they wanted to test these things there’s no reason they can’t do it in Africa. There are plenty of ebola patients in Africa.
This is to justify the funding of a level 4 containment facility in this country and the subsequent funding and publication streams of the attending physicians. Nothing more.
