First American Ebola patient improving.
"According to CNN, Brantly received an experimental dose of serum before leaving Liberia. Upon entering the U.S. for treatment, he became the first person infected with the deadly virus to be cared for in the States. Brantly—soon to be joined by fellow missionary Nancy Writebol, who is expected to arrive in the U.S. on Tuesday—is being treated in a special isolation unit at Emory Hospital in Atlanta. Both Brantly and Writebol contracted the virus while trying to help stop the spread of Ebola in West Africa."He could have received the serum and been treated in Liberia.
"Frieden noted on Face the Nation that although Amber and the couple's daughter saw Brantly in Liberia, "...they did not have contact with him when he was sick, so it does not appear that they would be at risk.""I sure hope not since they aren't quarantined.
More on the delivery of experimental serum to the two Americans. I wonder how many Americans wish they could get experimental drugs but the FDA won't let them.
