Ebola is NOT curable...it can be survivable. But there is no cure. You *may* survive if you get IV fluids, blood transfusions and have someone being diligent to care for you. But the odds are you're going to die whether you get treatment or not. Right now, in Africa, 60% to 70% are dying WITH treatment. 90% are dying without treatment. Not exactly a cure....
Thank you Douglas — some people are just plain dumb and cannot nor will not read or even do a google to find that the Ebola death rate is Way over the Top ... Some people need a brain enema
Recovery from Ebola ‘depends on the patient’s immune response’
That’s pretty much what happens when we have the Flu Virus....the body basically has to do it’s thing.......we take medications ‘to ease the symptoms’ but it’s the body’s immune system that comes to the defense of the virus....and we “survive”.....Some would call that “cured”.
Unfortunately Ebola is one nasty beast which shows no mercy as it travels thru the body hard and fast once it gets moving....still it’s the immune system which fights it.
The man in Dallas is now ‘in critical condition’ which would indicate his body’s immune system likely overwhelmed and as yet may not be strong enough to ward this off.....as said it’s one nasty beast of a disease...nobody’s underplaying that by any means.
