Dr. Kent Brantly is doing well and expected to be released from the hospital soon after being treated for Ebola.
"Dr. Kent Brantly is doing very well and hopes to be released sometime in the near future," a statement from Samaritan's Purse read. The staff at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia "are taking extremely great care of him."
Dr. Brantly and Nancy Writebol, both missionaries working in Liberia with Ebola victims, became infected abroad and were brought back to the United States for treatment. They received an experimental drug, which is apparently working. Writebol is also improving, which bodes well for other victims who are infected; the hope is that the experimental drug will be made available to countries where there is a significant rate of infection.
Throughout the ordeal, both Brantly and Writebol have held on to their faith and said they do not regret working with Ebola patients. In fact, Writebol's son said that there is a possibility his parents may return to Liberia after his mother is better.

seminal fluid is still infectious yes, but I assume you are not planning on having sex with the good doctor, nor will you be touching his eyes I think. His family will be educated about contact precautions.
Try not to live in fear over things you can’t control. Get out and enjoy life:)

I’m very glad to hear he survived.
In 21 days we’ll know if he started an epidemic here.
True.
As far as we know...
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 God called them there, they belong there. We may not understand it, but they have to listen to the Lord.
idiots or planned to help plans to depopulate people
I don't know how you conduct your daily life, and I guess anything is possible; but for most men, seminal fluid isn't a public issue.
