The Journal of Immunology had an article that showed there was some enhanced immunity against Ebola with those that have been vaccinated against rabies. The challenges were only in primates, no human subjects have been tested....yet.

If the blood transfusion is effective, there should be an ever larger group of survivors to donate blood.

Oh, goodie. The whole family but for the youngest had the rabies series fifteen years ago, and my oldest daughter just had the complete series again.
So she’s the one we’ll send out to forage. :) I guess the dog can go too.

In Sierra Leone, the United Nations is training survivors to help sick children, who often suffer through illness with no one to touch or comfort them.
So it shouldnt be a total loss; anyone who survives the ordeal of Ebola should be recruited as a nurses aide at an RN pay grade, as an Ebola specialist. But far from importing Ebola cases here as Obama insanely intends, we export our Ebola cases to West Africa - where the survivors to be trained as specialists are numerous - almost one for every two past Ebola deaths. Along with our Ebola cases, we send money to pay those survivor-specialists, and we send protective gear and disposables to enable West Africa to become a center of excellence in treatment. We dont need to be the place where people go to get treated for Ebola.

I guess I’m out of luck. My ancestors are from Ireland and Germany.

You may be in luck, actually. It doesn't seem that Europeans succumb to Ebola at the rates that Africans do, from all that I'm reading.

I’m not saying we’re immune, obviously.

I understand. Still, with what this disease threatens, it’s good to have at least a modicum of hope.
