The survival rate was not in his favor.
That the others brought here survived is a different story completely.
They were medical folks that knew what to do the minute symptoms came on.
Brantly was able to walk into Emory.

I hope they don't speculate and start lawsuits.
That is the last thing we need.

Barack Obola said we shouldn't worry about it here in the USA. Do you trust Barack Obola?

A couple of weeks ago some CDC person stood up there on camera and said absolutely it is no danger and can be stopped cold. Probably with guns trained on them.

How sad! After the American health workers were treated successfully, I had such hope he too would recover. May he rest in peace.

The odds were not in favor of him surviving.
It didn't look good for him on Sunday when they said he was on a respirator and dialysis machine.

I'm shaking my head here because he was Black and the words have already been said about that and his level of care.

While the US had a good record, both the priests in Spain died. Spain treated ebola patients and lost both.
It's luck.

In the United States??? I'm sure lawyers have been pursuing this case as soon as it became public.
