I'm curious as to how fast they will be able to approve this serum for general use. Ebola drug likely saved American patients - CNN.com |

These items are also expensive and in short supply. But, if liver failure occurs and the bleeding can be controlled transplant is the only other chance for survival and livers are also not very cheap. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference |

They're bringing them to the US because they can get the best medical treatment here. In West Africa the hospitals are overcrowded and the staff is overworked. They have a much better chance of survival if they're treated over here. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference |

Is anyone else having trouble taking a thread started by "Sr. Poop" seriously?

I am not because here in the West we have the resources to deal with Ebola (which doesn't spread easily). In Africa, they don't have the resources to deal with it, which is why this outbreak has been so bad and will continue to get worse. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference |

We have "limited" resources. Clotting factors and blood is what will save us and clotting factors are very expensive and there is very few available. And, yes, it does not spread easily but you don't now that you're sick for up to weeks and that can leave lots of time to infect others an spread the virus. My wife is a professor at a prominent university here in the U.S. with lots of students from the areas in Africa that are having problems. All it takes is one of these students to bring it over and infect and campus --> city --> country. We are on thin ice and people here think they can't touched. You people should be fucking terrified. I don't think you realize how close we are to the shit hitting the fan... we are NOT prepared here and if you think we are you are mistaken. |
