Ebola-Infected Surgeon Dies in Nebraska

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebola-virus-outbreak/doctors-discuss-death-ebola-infected-surgeon-dr-martin-salia-n250106

Dr. Martin Salia, infected with Ebola in his native Sierra Leone, died Monday at Nebraska Medical Center. His doctors are holding a news conference to describe what happened, but Salia was already very, very sick when he was flown to the United States.

That was no surprise. He was essentially DOA. Sad story. Unfortunately, he tested negative for Ebola on the 6th, but that most likely was a false negative. He wasn't tested again until the 10th, where he tested positive and then didn't arrive in Omaha until the 16th. He was already in kidney failure and needing a vent before he got here. Time is very critical and it just took too long.

Why are things so quiet on this front? No news about Ebola at all for a couple weeks now.

Genetically Modified Cattle With Human DNA Might Hold Ebola Cure

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebola-virus-outbreak/genetically-modified-cattle-human-dna-might-hold-ebola-cure-n287796

On a farm outside Sioux Falls, South Dakota, a herd of cloned, genetically engineered cattle are busy incubating antibodies against the Ebola virus.

Researchers hope the cattle - which certainly don't look like anything special - will produce gallons of blood plasma that could be used to treat people with the deadly virus, which has infected more than 21,000 people in West Africa and killed 8,500 of them.

"These animals produce very high levels of human antibody," said Eddie Sullivan, president and CEO of SAb Biotherapeutics, the company that developed the cattle.

The cattle have been genetically engineered with human DNA so that their bodies don't produce cattle antibodies but human antibodies. They're cloned to make a herd of genetically identical, part-human animals.

That sounds like the start of a terrible sci fi horror story.

I assume your better half is in charge? Perhaps that's why you have that monster firework stash? :)

Let's see....$12 million over 3 hospitals and 5 years to fight a worldwide disease...and $29 million for Charleston. Sounds about right.

My wife isn't up there if there isn't a patient up there. Oh, they train some. She works in the ER and NICU.

As for the math, your problem is you are calculating using the old math. if you use the new math, it makes more sense.

Maybe that explains the 50% mortality rate of Ebola?

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde confirmed that the virus is still present in Pauline Cafferkey's body after being left over from the original infection.
