we’ll see how it all plays out - if this doctor is as critically ill as we were told, why is he walking under his own power out of the ambulance? But, as you say, he is in a very good place to get the care he needs. Hope his family is okay as they were with him up until a few days before he got sick. BTW, you have heard of Typhoid Mary, right? One person can make for a lot of fatalities, but of course this is different so not to worry.

Yeah, typhoid Mary is irrelevant to this thread.
It is great that these two American Ebola medical people are going to be the expert guinea pigs for our own researchers and medical personnel.
“”This will be the first human Ebola test for a U.S. medical facility. But Brantly and Writebol will be treated at an isolated unit where precautions have been in place to keep such deadly diseases from spreading, unit supervisor Dr. Bruce Ribner said.””
“”Emory’s isolation unit was created with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based down the road. It aims to optimize care for those with highly infectious diseases and is one of four U.S. institutions capable of providing such treatment.””
“”The National Institutes of Health plans to begin testing an experimental Ebola vaccine in people as early as September. Tests on primates have been successful.””
Ebola takes time to develop, say 20 days of infection before you get real critical. Then you have a few days of progression before the ugly death. He may be walking now, but see how he is in a few days.
