OK, what the hell? This was pretty fast, unless someone has their wires crossed. So either this Ebola strain is fairly weak in transmission from the African to others in this country or this nurse has some superior immune system.

This sounds very odd.

By surviving, Amber has proven Jesse wrong (again).

[Cowboy Bob]

After the elections they will announce her death...

[goodwithagun]

Agreed. Her treatment started farther on than Pham’s, yet Pham has not been declared Ebola free. Pham even had a transfusion from the cured doc. This does not bode well for Pham?

[The Toll]

I bet the test is faulty.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Well that was quick.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Free of virus, ready for her court case?

[DoughtyOne]

She got that blood from the other person to survive.

That may have been the real difference.

It would be interesting to study what her treatments consisted of. I’m sure the medical profession will benefit from things learned.

Perhaps this is the real key to a cure in Africa. Use the blood of survivors. (of course that’s accepting this was the key to Amber’s recovery)

[DCBryan1]

Glad she will make it through. Now revoke her nursing license RFN!

[Zakeet]

Good ... now the Idiot can go give her a big hug!

[bgill]

That was fast. Guess that makes things square with Jesse.

[Blue Jays]

Let's keep her isolated for another two weeks, shall we?
I don't trust the CDC as far as I can throw them.
They will send her home and the next thing we know she will be vomiting in a shopping mall or something.
Play it safe with deadly potential pandemics, CDC dummies...

[arthurus]

Did she get a transfusion from an ebola recoverer? That seems to have worked with others.

Possibilities:

• Faked illness: Appearance of quick cure to boost confidence in CDC.
• Faked illness: Appearance of quick cure to remove Ebola as an election issue.
• Faked illness: Black person flown to Emory appears responsive to Jesse's claims of racial disparity in treatment.
• False Positive on initial test. Not faked, but patient never had illness.
• False Negative on recent test. Patient still sick and contagious about to be sent home.
• Patient had partial immunity leading to quicker recovery.
• April Fool Joke: Dying CDC member's final out-of-season prank.
• We've not really been given much information on how long the illness typically lasts once you've got it. We have a lot more information on the incubation period, but not expected revcovery times.

This morning we were talking about Ebola and here are some of the random thoughts we cobbled together:

a. Among those Africans who grow up exposed to Malaria there seems to be some attenuating response. IOW, they don’t get as sick as someone from the US who gets Malaria.

b. While Ebola does kill the majority of patients, I can’t help but wonder if there is some sort of immunity among folks from Africa, something like Malaria, that has not yet been identified.

[TheConservativeParty]

Oh yeah, sure she is.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Apparently she, Pham, and I have the same blood type as Dr. Brantly (A+) and they received his plasma. Duncan was B positive and could not.

I certainly have a different outlook on the disease now.
