Love Roses, your feelings are as valid as anyone else's. Nobody here is an ebola expert no matter how much they would like to be.

I am not worried personally because worry will do no good. I hope you can put it out of your mind.

I understand Scottie - I just have my personal concerns.

In quarantine and They said it would take a few days to found results, but he has all the symptoms. He recently traveled West Africa. How many people did he come in contact with?

We have one in Albuquerque too. A woman just back from Africa and sick with flu-like symptoms.

For knocking on Death's Door 3 weeks ago, he surprisingly looked good. To me that's kinda odd. Don't want to paint myself as a 'conspiracy person', but it just seems odd that Ebola has been around for awhile...and we swoop in with a vaccine to fix everything. Done. Just like that. Next!

For an illness that was a 'mystery" for many, many years...I would think Kent Brantly would be a case study for a while...but parading him out in a press conference portrayed it as 'No Big Deal'....while hundreds of people in Africa are contracting & dying of Ebola every day. Just seems....odd.

Are we going to share this vaccine with everyone in the world?

no one knows the lasting effects of the test serum. our friend who is one of the top doctors in the country explain how the serum worked, how it was created. it's a hybrid and like any virus if it evolves the serum will no longer work. The serum is human cells that are grown in tobacco leaves (it's much more complicated than that).
