Much attention has focused on the unproven drug ZMapp, which was given to seven patients, two of whom died. But the limited supply is now exhausted and its developer says it will take months to make even a modest amount.

It is very similar to WWII when the atomic bomb was introduced. Generals and Admirals wanted DOZENS of nuclear weapons to finish off the war, and found out that they would get 2 in 1945, and 6-8 in 1946.

When the generals and admirals got the sobering news that they would be few and far between, they knew they had to keep with the original game plan.

Unfortunately, we are at war with Ebola, an enemy that we can't see until its later stages and ZMAPP may not be the cure.

We should have stopped ALL commerical flights into and out of West Africa in June, when the cities started turning up ebola patients.....and they should have shut down all borders and shipyards after the first healthworker went down. Airdrop supplies and do a 21 day quaranteen on everyone else.
