Maybe so, but it sounds like they didn’t do that.

From the article I linked in my previous post:

***FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — When Martin Salia’s Ebola test came back negative, his friends and colleagues threw their arms around him. They shook his hand. They patted him on the back. They removed their protective gear and cried.

But when his symptoms remained nearly a week later, Salia took another test, on Nov. 10. This one came back positive, sending the Sierra Leonean doctor with ties to Maryland on a desperate, belated quest for treatment and forcing the colleagues who had embraced him into quarantine.***

Good point about vit D. Living in a northern area makes it even harder for those with high melanin to get enough D. Time to give my kiddos their spoonful of Cod Liver Oil.

I’m am so sorry he died. By all accounts he was a very good man and wonderful, giving doctor.

I’ve tried to find out how many tests he was actually given, but there are only two mentioned. It could be sloppy journalism that doesn’t want to ask the question though. It’s bad enough that he had one false negative. It would be worse to find out that he had more than that. If the WHO protocol was followed, that could mean there was another false negative, which simply isn’t being reported. That wouldn’t surprise me. All I’ve been able to find out is that his first negative test was done on Nov. 6, and that the positive was done on Nov. 10. This despite his having many symptoms.

I agree with that. He was a caring man and a selfless doctor. May God bless him and his family.

This article says that 9 people have been treated for ebola in the U.S. - I count 6 - 2 nurses in TX, Mr. Duncan, the doctor in NY and the original doctor and aid worker. This one makes 7 - who are the other 2?

This whole thing makes no sense.

Yes. He was a noble doctor and all that.

Just how much did his “treatment” cost the US taxpayer once it is all added-up? I thought we were running a deficit. I thought there wasn’t any money?

Why would we use our military MD’s and healthcare workers for Africans? They are to treat our active duty types and their dependents. That is their first priority. When they leave our military facilities it leaves our folks without the same level of care.

His initial test was run at a Chinese lab in Africa(Sierra Leone, I think). The positive test was run at a lab in South Africa.

There was also the NBC cameraman, as well as a patient who was treated at Emory, and whose name has never been released.

I had a 3 degree spike in fever for some unknown reason. I did a mega shot of Vitamin D3 with Vitamelts and took a quick cold rinse off in the tub...

Fever went away very quickly and didn’t come back.

I forgot about the camera man. I never knew there was another at Emory. Thanks for info.

***This one makes 7 - who are the other 2?***

American aid worker, Dr. Rick Sacra and videojournalist Ashoka Mukpo, were successfully treated for Ebola at the Nebraska Medical Center previously.

I didn’t agree with bringing him here. But he’s dead, can’t we just take a moment and express sorrow for that?
