My recollection is that he was reported dead by Israeli news media not long after being reportedly on dialysis due to kidney failure, unconscious and on life support, then a course of ZMapp somehow materialized and he was being treated with it. I’m starting to suspect (along with several other FReepers) that he was gone when that first death was announced but the body was kept alive via artificial means in order to test treatment(s).
I believe your theory is correct. I cannot imagine the Israeli news service reporting the ebola death unless it were true. Ebola Tommy was most likely dead two days ago as reported by the Israeli news, kept alive on life support until the FedGov could figure out how to spin this - and remind us that “there is NOTHING to worry about.”
FReep even pulled the threads - right after I had written a long post, LOL.
He was being given a more general antiviral.
Yes!! I thought I read he had died the other day. I even called out to my husband in the next room about it.
Might be so....But the drug didn’t suddenly ‘materialize’.... according to the FDA and the Hospital once the drug was ok’d Duncan was given it that day.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the family and or Duncan himself agreed to using whatever they had to treat this. But he was in rough shape before even admitted to the hospital....remember his niece mentioned his eyes were red and it’s then she called the ambulance....so he was already bleeding out.
