Duncan died earlier today.
As for the Zmapp, there were only two or three treatments available.
Are you talking about the debunked article?
Japan has 20,000 dose of a similar drug that France used to “cure” a patient there. They are willing to provide it and offered even offered it to WHO, according to an article posted here earlier today.
“Duncan died earlier today.”
WOW, for me you got the scoop.
Well, I won’t say RIP, because he lied to get here and endangered his family and others, but I hope his family will be OK.
I ear the earlier threads about Duncan’s supposed death earlier today, and it only came from one source (Israeli, if I remember right).
I have no idea whether this source is reliable, or not. But, it does lead me to question why it has not been “called out” by our press, if it is untrue.
If we can no longer trust the media to keep us informed, then I am more worried about “societal panic” than from reading all the reports about folks with the flu getting isolated and quarantined.
We have more to fear from an irrational public panic than the we do from the disease itself - the former has the potential to bring our “just-in-time” complex system to collapse, if regular people who drive the trucks, run the assays, man the emergency rooms, child-care-centers, public transportation, and emergency room support systems all freak out and stay home, while trying to stock up to hunker down.
I can understand, therefore, why CDC, etc. need to downplay the problem, but in order to control the public, they then have to control the media, and we are left in the dark, vulnerable to rumors, charlatans, and opportunists - not knowing what is truth, and what is hype.
Think about how complex, but how fragile, our modern metroplex systems actually are - they all run on trust, and when that fails, it looks like a mad-max world out there.
