Doc who had EBOLA to be released today

Apparently Dr. Brantly is being released from Emory today. That's really good news. Hopefully it will quell the fears people had about bringing him and the nurse home. What do you think?


They're going to have a press conference today.

Yes it's good news. But the outbreak isn't being contained. The countries impacted are suffering shortages of fuel, food and basic supplies because airlines and shipping companies have stopped services to the areas. MSF and WHO said they desperately need medical staff on the ground. The situation is very grim.

An interesting parallel to what is happening here, "Ebola Task Force Officers" are now being used to quarantine the poorest of the neighborhoods in Liberia. These armed officers wearing protective armor and face shields shot live rounds into crowds of protestors and threw tear gas to disperse them.

It's uplifting and encouraging! I'm so happy for him, his family, and his co-workers. It has to give them a sign of hope for others.

Oh, that's terrible. I did hear that one of the "hospitals" in Africa was ransacked and mattresses stolen because people didn't want the Ebola treatment center in their neighborhood.

Fantastic. Has there been an update on the female that most recently arrived in Atlanta?
