Glad to hear the caregivers will be housed there, but this can't go on. Sounds like the 1st team of caregivers would have to be quarantined for the proper time, while the 2nd team goes in and then repeat with team 3,4,5 etc.
Now I hear that they will give her a transfusion from Dr. Bradley, so happy they are a match. But when/if this gets out of hand, he does not have enough to go around.
Thinking, is it possible to take some of his blood and infuse it with good blood of the same type, in other words it would be diluted, but the infected part of his blood could possibly reproduce itself in the good blood. Does that make sense in the way I am saying it?
Thanks again for your knowledge of this matter.
You are welcome. I don’t know if they could make a serum from his blood but you are right. I have not read where anyone has said how much of his blood they are infusing. There is only so much he can give within 6 weeks to 2 months. His body has to recover. Hopefully the antibodies he has will help to fight the infection in this nurse.
We will minimize the number of caregivers. We anticipate 1 MD and 4 nurses max. All tests and procedures would be done bedside by the 1 MD and whichever nurse is on duty at that time. We have an entire wing that has not yet been built out. I am sure we can come up with a plan that minimizes the exposure and risk. We have 2 meetings a day on this issue. Hope this helps infuse some sense of proactiveness and order. There has been way too much confusion and misinformation. Someone just today called the CDC the Center for Disinformation and Confusion.
