Living just a mile from Ebola ground zero in Dallas we’ve been saturated with info. I cannot tell you where I read or heard this but Duncan was unable to receive a transfusion because his blood type was not a match. Sorry I can’t provide a link but it might have even been here on FR which usually has local ebola news before Dallas media!

No clue. And I can’t find the link where I read that about Duncan being the wrong blood type.

Take it with a grain of salt.

It would be a good guess, but there is no way to know for sure

She may have adjusted the exam light above him before putting on her gloves, because she was drying her arms after scrubbing up. Warm light within sneeze, cough range of Duncan.

Please read post#8. My confusion is if she became symptomatic on Friday, how can the BF already be sick with Ebola, if the CDC protocol is accurate.

The moment she contracted and started incubating, she shared the process with her boyfriend. He’s lagging a couple days behind. Just pray they share the same blood type.

3) the CDC us wrong about being contagious only upon the onset of symptoms

I'll take #3 for $1,000, Alex

Wonderful that Brantley was able to donate blood for the nurse.

I'm trying to follow this story closely. Why in the world do we have to get all the details from the British press?

This situation with this nurse alone, makes it quite clear why we need to close our borders.

Thank you for the link.

Yes, Dr. Brantly was asked and agreed to donate to Duncan, but the blood types did not match.

Nancy Writebol has also offered to donate, but her blood has not matched any of the other patients.

Yet.

Per WFAA local news the “only contact” is in isolation and not showing any symptoms and her dog was removed from the apartment just this afternoon. The City will be caring for the dog....so far no talk of euthanizing it. Nina has been asking for about her pet since she was admitted.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...
