It was like...’poof’...no more pneumonia.

"Nice Try! Too bad it won’t fly."why? Because 48 hours is just too soon to declare someone disease free?
If so, I agree. But maybe they mean, he's not shedding the virus anymore.

GOOD NEWS!
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

I’m cautiously skeptical since one data point is hardly a medical study. But if there is any promise to their findings, it should be published openly with doses/regimen etc so it can be put to the test, not guarded like a cookie recipe.

In the US a treatment has to be 80% effective before it is used.
Overseas they figure, "this guy is going to die if we don't do something so let's try this."
Sometimes it works.
