Dr Kent Brantly, a 33-year-old father of two young children, was able to walk, with help, from an ambulance after he was flown on Saturday to Atlanta, where he was being treated by infectious disease specialists at Emory University Hospital.

When a government, and it's lapdog media, continually lie to the people, even about things that may be inconsequential, when does a prudent individual BELIEVE what they are saying - NEVER!
I'm afraid it has come to that point-("Not a smidgen of corruption!")
So there have been false negatives. I have been concerned about this, since I heard of all these passengers allowed to go on their respective flights after exhibiting symptoms at the airport, but testing negative.
This is not very comforting. At all.
Before he arrived in Atlanta, Dr. Brantley received a blood transfusion from a 14-year-old that survived the virus, which apparently has worked for some patients in the past. Perhaps it is working this time as well. That is my prayer.
I wonder how Nancy is doing. Has she arrived also, or is she still in Africa? She is the one who received the experimental serum.
Obama should change his name to Alfred E Nobama (Neumann). He is the “what me worry” president!
What did they do for him that less ythan 24 hrs later hes improving.
Answered prayer.
This is most certainly not applicable to Ebola filovirus.
Exactly. We’re to chalk it up to mere coincidence they left one day and the next he’s sick. Reports from the family was he was fading fast but he walked to the ER across gravel that was surely cutting into his Tyvek suit. Now, after mere hours in a US hospital, he’s improving. Excuse me while I add another layer of tin foil to my hat.
"Unlikely" is a nice warm fuzzy until you're the one who contracts something with a high mortality rate.
actually, he’s being referred to as president ebola or barak hussein ebola
It already has, the conspiracies and screaming panic are flying on many of these threads.
Replace the fluids he was losing?
He has also received blood from one of his recovered patients, for the antibodies.
This is from a 1995 outbreak. “”By the time Robert Colebunders arrived in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of Congo (known as Zaire at the time), on June 15 of 1995, the Ebola virus had ravaged the city of 250,000 and the neighboring area for nearly 6 months. The hospitals in the riverport town were empty; patients and healthcare workers had fled to other parts of the country for fear of contracting the deadly disease, which would ultimately affect 317 people and kill 245.””

“”The Americans and Scientists from the States didnt believe it could work, says Colebunders, but the Congolese doctors did it anyway. The same blood transfusion procedure was repeated for seven others who were ill, the final group of Ebola-stricken patients in the hospital.
The results were staggering: seven of the eight survived.””
Thank goodness. God bless him.
