Heard that too, they had one dose of meds that MAY help, and the other doctor said to give it to her. Both of them are coming home.

Not a doctor but perhaps if she survives, some sort of antibodies may be in her body that could help others.

“Not a doctor but perhaps if she survives, some sort of antibodies may be in her body that could help others.”

My thoughts too.

I suspect that, besides the supportive therapy to help the patients survive, they want to collect blood and body fluid samples and run a boatload of tests to see what they can do about future cases.

Brantly received a transfusion from a 14 year old boy he saved.

I can see why they’d want to monitor him too.

I have no issues with bringing these 2 home. Precautions will be extreme and they are US citizens. It’s letting god knows who get on airplanes and fly here I have an issue with.
