Apparently the world's 38th ranked health care system (the United States, according to the WHO and dutifully parroted by the MSM) just proved that the mortality rate of the Ebola virus is actually ZERO percent, vice the 90-percent that's been accepted by the world's top 37 health care organizations for the past 50-years.
Imagine that.

Yeah. I heard those two care givers survived and are headed home. Good news.
But don't forget they both received the "new" experimental drug. It may have played a large role

Yea, I know. Our health care system is so bad, we ought to be going to Cuba where it's a lot better and especially cheaper.
If the Saudis ever caught on, rather than send their ill VIPs here, they would be going to Cuba AND they wouldn't be hiring doctors from the U.S.A. to work there.

a sample of two doesnt show anything other than we already knew it wasnt 100% fatal....and realistically even in Africa its average is closer to 70% fatal for the nasty ones than 90% with treatment, without treatment its between 60 and 90% depending on the strain and very few outbreaks hit the 90%....dont believe media hype

It may have played a large role Apparently the same drug was given to that Spaniard who was also being treated for Ebola, but he was not so lucky. I suspect its early days yet to say just how effective this treatment is, and also in what circumstances.. Does anybody know whether the folks that recover from Ebola develop an immunity to it?
