U.S. Doctor Infected With Ebola To Be Released From Atlanta Hospital After Treatment
It was nearly three weeks ago when American missionary doctor Kent Brantly, who contracted Ebola treating victims of the deadly virus in Liberia, was brought to Atlanta's Emory University Hospital. Today, following a treatment with an experiment drug ZMapp made by Mapp Biopharma, it appears that Brantley has recovered enough that he will be discharged later on Thursday.
According to Reuters, Emory University Hospital said it would hold a news conference to discuss Brantly's case and that of a second American, Nancy Writebol, being treated there with ZMapp. Mapp says its supplies of the drug have been exhausted. However, it is unclear if it was the ZMapp treatment that may have cured Brantley: as Bloomberg notes, Brantly had also received a blood transfusion from a 14-year-old survivor, according to Samaritan’s Purse. In any event, this is surely welcome news if not so much to the world, then certainly to west Africa, where the epidemic is raging at an unprecedented pace and claiming a record number of victims.
Brantly will leave Emory hospital after the news conference, a spokesperson for the charity Samaritan's Purse said. "I have marveled at Dr. Brantly's courageous spirit as he has fought this horrible virus with the help of the highly competent and caring staff at Emory University Hospital," Samaritan's Purse president Franklin Graham said in a statement.
The World Health Organization said on Wednesday that 2,473 people have been infected and 1,350 have died since the Ebola outbreak was identified in remote southeastern Guinea in March.
So far, the WHO has said that no cases of the disease had been confirmed outside of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria - the countries affected by the outbreak - despite cases having been suspected elsewhere, which could include the second largest African country, the 60+ million populous Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as Togo, which revealed on Thursday that two suspected cases, including a sailor from the Philippines, were being tested for the virus.
Three African doctors, also treated with ZMapp in Liberia, have shown remakable signs of improvement, Liberia's Information Minister Lewis Brown told Reuters on Tuesday.

U.S. Doctor Infected With Ebola To Be Released From Atlanta
OK....fine.
So you got lucky.....please don't do that crap again.
He might even be cured!
Fuck that 7 week quarantine procedure! Yeah!
Even if he is healed he can still cary it, in fact he can cary it better. He should make a coast to coast trip.
How many of us looked up Mapp Pharma stock already??
Just how many Pharma lobbists do think are here this morning?
I'm getting drilled up there man!
This is insane. I protest (gonna go loot). Keep this guy locked up you fucking idiots. Whatever happened to the notion of "greater good".
Been detected in Semen up to 61 days.
Suppose he is not the type to go screw 6 hookers in celebration, huh?
But he should watch where he, you know...
Released? He should have been put to sleep and the corpse burned. These fucking idiots are playing with fire, and it will burn us all. He fucked up, he pays the price.
Those 2 Americans remains infectious for the next 2 months. We'll be seeing US cases in 21 days.
When I read the headline, the "infected semen" problem came to mind immediately and spotted your comment as the first one along these lines.
So.. like in some Sci-Fi movie or TV show, these guys get to impregnate women (wife and/or GF) with their mutation? Should be interesting. If they're really thorough, they will observe the effects of potential transmission via intercourse.
p.s. 1350 deaths out of 2473 cases does not sound nearly as dramatic as the "up to 90%" mortality rate as was first waved hysterically. 55% ? This ratio keeps dropping. Doesn't sound like it's good for weaponizing - especially if it's tropical and only slightly airborne (to immediate vicinity). I expect that the news will turn/cycle to "other global disasters".
How many of us looked up Mapp Pharma stock already??
Did that a couple of weeks ago. (I wanted in on that action.)
No stock. It is privately owned.
Odd that you were down arrowed for you post. I mean, they have been saying over and over that you are still infectous for up to seven weeks afterwards. So... the good doctor is... what... different?
Someone with some math skills can figure out at the current rate based on WHO stats - how many roughly to be infected by end of this year? 2015?

I think its time to consider isolating Kevin Bacon. If he gets it, it's game over.
Fucking funny right there!
soemwhat less than the rate of growth in government debt in most places.. substitute years for days and its close tho
Deaths only
21/08/2014 1,350 10/10/2014 3,903 29/11/2014 11,282 18/01/2015 32,613 09/03/2015 94,276 28/04/2015 272,532 17/06/2015 787,835 06/08/2015 2,277,466 25/09/2015 6,583,682 14/11/2015 19,032,058 03/01/2016 55,017,727 22/02/2016 159,044,822 12/04/2016 459,765,547 01/06/2016 1,329,086,698 21/07/2016 3,842,113,582 09/09/2016 11,106,752,325 29/10/2016 32,107,314,002 18/12/2016 92,815,575,808 06/02/2017 268,310,551,051I don't know about cumulative, but according to the best fit line, there will be about 13,000 new cases a day by the end of the year.
Oh gee, I feel so much better...especially since he is part of the Fort Dietrich bioweapons team who took that last most lethal verion of Ebola and "weaponized" it...making it "airborne"....the rumor is that it requires hot weather to help it spread...so my buddies playing the HAARP have whipped up a little heat wave this week...especially in the (Godless) west.... Head for antarctica and carry a fire exstinguisher...on your picatinny rail....
So he can't bone his wife for 7 months
"Give me death instead!"
That may be a feature, not a bug.
Sure he can. He uses a condom.
Else she gets the same treatment as he did, and they learn more and patent more. Bullish.
My best wishes for a person and family who has morals and integrity. There are too few of your kind.
Sweet, so we let a man with live ebola virus in his semen into the general population. Let him have sex with one woman and you have an outbreak. Let him have sex with a prostitute and ebola is loose in the USA.
I think a mtg. at the White House is in order.
Where do you think it came from....Hellllooooo, McFly?
Sex at the White House, say it like you mean it!
So is the "Be afraid, be very very afraid" meme being discontinued?
No, its still in the Obiwan "these are not the droids you are looking for..." phase of a shell game....pick a state....there is plenty of time to be afraid....[wipes bloody nose...]
Just until the CDC patents are in place. Then it is spread baby spread and MSM talk up the fear right to the bank for the the prefered pharmaceutical partner and CDC royalites on said cure.
This doctor managed to be the lucky choosen one for virus harvesting for the CDC.
Is he now immune to this particular Ebola virus now? If so let's send him back to Africa and tell him don't come back until all the Africans are cured, after all must save all Africans!!!!!!!
/sar
hard to know when he will stop being a vector for ebola, some reports of people having ebola in body fluids for months, after" recovery"..going home to family seems a poor choice to me , but I am risk averse.
Execpt that he is Indonesian...and married to a tranny...(not a DOW transport)...
Jeesssh, so politially correct this morning...what's with the DVs?
It needs to be on target and funny, that is what is up with the DVs.
Obama is Indonesian and married to a tranny...not the doc. He a white boi.
First obamao vanquishes bin laden, now ebola!!!
LOOK ON THAT GOLFCOURSE!!!
IS IT A THIEF?
IS IT A BAG BOY?
NO IT'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!

If the RIA posting is true, and "Russia has no plans for military incursion into Ukraine", then Obola will have vanquished the Bear also.
All, w/o missing his gold game. Just BTFATH already!
Send him some condoms. According to WHO "Ebola virus was isolated from semen 61 days after onset of illness in a man who was infected in a laboratory."
Damn, I have to stop that lab-equipment fucking....
Ebola virus persistence was examined in body fluids from 12 convalescent patients by virus isolation and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) during the 1995 Ebola hemorrhagic fever outbreak in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Virus RNA could be detected for up to 33 days in vaginal, rectal, and conjunctival swabs of 1 patient and up to 101 days in the seminal fluid of 4 patients. Infectious virus was detected in 1 seminal fluid sample obtained 82 days after disease onset. Sequence analysis of an RT-PCR fragment of the most variable region of the glycoprotein gene amplified from 9 patients revealed no nucleotide changes. The patient samples were selected so that they would include some from a suspected line of transmission with at least three human-to-human passages, some from 5 survivors and 4 deceased patients, and 2 from patients who provided multiple samples through convalescence. There was no evidence of different virus variants cocirculating during the outbreak or of genetic variation accumulating during human-to-human passage or during prolonged persistence in individual patients.

No nookie for you. I would be worried also if I was janitor at the SEC and this thing spreads to them.
I love the Mainstream Biowarfare source....of course I believe them...they created it....sick fucks.
[sound of respirator]
Eeeeeeewwwwwwww
[sound of respirator]
Nothing about wookie snot...
[sound of respirator]
Before leaving Atlanta via Hartsfield Airport, Brantly will travel by Marta train (local mass transit) to Lenox Square Mall for some long overdue shopping. He may also take in a Brave's game. Once back home in Texas, he will jerk off in the shower a lot, then put his house up for sale.
/s for our exceptional disease containment practices.
GPS! GPS!!! Give us his damn coordinates and tag already!
As is my panicked request for his NSA gelocations stats....
For those not getting it " our exceptional disease containment practices" is sarcasm as well.
WTF? He's still a carrier.
Send him to Washington to breathe all over Obama.
Ugh, Duh....how else do you "cull" a population?
Good for him.
pnders whether the ebola virus has gone dormant in this case or has been eradicated..
someone posted this on the last ZH article.
http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2014/08/20/two-suspected-ebol...
That would be a kick in the sack if he got a clean bill of health and then died.
ack
Quick everyone sell your gold and buy Stocks!

What a fucking joke this all is.
Brilliant call, man....brilliant....I'm reading the ticker and calling my broker now.....
move along, nothing to worry about
I am just glad there are no CONFIRMED cases outside of those countries. Rest easy.
How do they know he is free. Virus can go dormant and hide only to resurface later.
Ebola hits you in waves, yes.
Not mentioned is that 'Doctors Without Borders' are sex tourists without condoms. And the Missionaries, I don't know if they have condoms or not.
At least with the Missionaries they know what their prefered sexual position is.
"When the medical professionals determine it is okay for the patient to return home, they are no longer infectious and cannot infect anyone else in their communities. Men who have recovered from the illness can still spread the virus to their partner through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery. For this reason, it is important for men to avoid sexual intercourse for at least 7 weeks after recovery or to wear condoms if having sexual intercourse during 7 weeks after recovery."
So lets just hope he doesn't visit any hookers, mistresses and loves the abstinence thing...
have to jack off into a biohazard bag
ponders why semen is a carrier but shit and spittle isn't (sneezing, coughing, using cutlery and crockery at home and at large for public toilets into sewage treatment plants etc etc) and how they know its precisely 7 weeks for every individual
I'm reading Hot Zone know. I dont now anything about physiology or micro anything but aparently Ebola loves the balls.
The balls be warm and inviting.....
Cool. The function of having testicles external to the body is to maintain lower (than body temp) temperature for cool storage. Maybe more similar to fruit bat body temp, at 36 / 37 celsius?
hooligan2009
sewage,shit and spittle (sneezing, coughing and semen
gee wizz fella i bet your the life and soul in the toilet at parties : )
My wife just pulled the "Science" journal paper that everyone cites for how long corpses are infectious after death and turns out there is only a one sentence statement in the whole paper on the topic whose footnote cites "unpublished data."
That's comforting, eh?
Probably they always incinerated bodies, nobody bothered to keep a bunch of cadavers at body temp, in-ground temp, etc and check every week or so to see if virus was still active.
What a bunch of doubletalk. He is "no longer infectious" but "can still spread the virus."
Anyone else wonder about the wisdom of the naming of the drug? Zmapp.
I have some Zmax in the basement, i suppose thats the cure for someone cured by Zmapp
Mapp is the company and ZEBOV (Zaire Ebola Virus) is what this treatment is for.
Chuck Norris got Ebola,and Ebola died.
You might not think this was such an amusing topic if you had a familiarity with exponential mathematics.
Imagine what would happen if Watusi Joe starts sneezing in JFK baggage claim?
This guy's social life has fallen off the map.
Yeah, that first dinner party back is gonna be wierd.
"Oh you're so cute Ken...but we brought our own food that we had hermetically sealed. Mind if we eat in the other room...with our respirators?"
There'll be some unhinged, death obsessed, thrillseeker woman drawn to this guy, the same type that marries serial killers in prison.
"I can SAVE him!"
For a disease that is still spreading and without a guaranteed cure, the authorities seem a little too relaxed by allowing air travel and the return of people to their homes prematurely.
I guess they take heart from the fact that the growth in the number of new victims has not been geometric.
Crazy logic? Ulterior motives?
Let's revisit this in two weeks.
george soros and bill gates have the pleasure to a nonce dr Kent Brantly tour of america.
as mr brantly is a specialist in health issues involving deprived areas of the world he will be visiting the poorest parts of america.
anderson cooper will be following the tour in cia persons via green screen which like his on the spot sandy hoax interviews will be shot in full hd widescreen.
prepare to laugh to cry and be healed by this saintly mans gentle touch.
What the hell are they thinking? This is the reason why no one has any faith anymore in government! When "stuff" like this happens then what are we supposed to do? God I hope Emory University gets hit with an Asteroid and vaporizises!
With our luck it will splatter the disease everywhere.

* Clamped to last peak value. "The opening of these [Guinean] villages has resulted in a surge of reported cases. These are cases that were previously concealed; their reporting should not be interpreted as a sudden upsurge in Guinea’s outbreak." - WHO Situation assessment - 19 August 2014.
Your reported percentage rate per day is also growing.
Your numbers, last week, predicted extinction in 18 months, in my modeling, using your initial reported 3% per day.
But that percentage rate is also an exponential.
What model are you using?
Can you write your formulation in response.
Thanks. It is appreciated.
"What model are you using? Can you write your formulation (for the partial) in response [?]" -Tall Tom
The partial is not the daily compounding rate, it is simply:
A - current calculated smoothed new case rate
B - number of active cases (total cases less total deaths), from prior report
C = A/B
partial = simple average of three most recent values calculated for C
It's only useful in gauging what the next couple of reports might look like, keeping everything else constant.
So, the numbers need to be revised all the way back through at least July, since the earlier infection and death rates had missing data. Are we to believe there is no missing data now?

Oh groovy. They're letting patient zero walk free.
I think I'll break out a old copy of Stephan King's The Stand while we wait for the outbreaks to begin.
Miracle?

The blood transfussion is likely to kill him.
Stay away from radiation, transfussions, and vaccinations.
Unless the transfusion is all that saved him. There have been rumours for some time that a transfusion from a survivor cures Ebola.
Dr. Brantly, PLEASE HELP! We need you to move up to K St. and continue your good-will, by lobbying all of Congress for funding to beat this horrible disease!
I bet you they wouldn't let that man visit congress. I'd be willing to wager on that too.
