I've read that Ebola can stay in semen
several weeks after symptoms end.

Well I would consider you and your buddies "taking a break" for a little while if you know what I mean.

It can remain inside of a landlubber's ejaculate, too.
ETA: 3 months is the timeframe I remember, but don't quote me on that. And it's based on something like 20 survivors to the person who suggested there weren't many/any survivors around to test/question whether they're contagious. Other than semen, the survivors weren't infectious.

You should lay off of your usual backwoods bama homo anal. Keep that clay off of your knees for awhile.

I didn't know this was a comedy thread.

Thanks, Doctor for a scientific response.
This disease is fascinating but ,Ebola
would find a first world environment
inhospitable.
Nothing to fear.

The details of the doctor and nurse's treatment aren't publicly available at present time, but I have a feeling they'll soon enough be written up as case studies in the NEJM (or somewhere pretty big). So I'm not sure as to what they actually did for them or how they treated them, but based on a few in-depth review articles on the pathophysiology of the Ebola family of viruses, isolation, blood pressure support (Normal Saline, packed red blood cells, and pressors (with the latter two likely being the limiting factor in The Third World)), and general supportive therapy (pain control, electrolyte replacement, parenteral nutrition, mechanical ventilation (likely unnecessary in most cases) alone without definitive Ebola treatment would likely drastically reduce the death rate (with specific focus on use of central lines and pressors with or without blood).
This was just two fourth year med students having a discussion, but in short, standard isolation ICU care would probably help a patient "get through" the two-week "danger period" and they would then go on to lead a relatively normal life with relatively few long-term consequences.
that's not to say that a definitive therapy wouldn't be more effective, but general supportive therapy alone would be drastically better in the rural-est hospital in the USA (with an ICU and isolation) than anywhere in the Third World.

Yeah. Our ability to stop any spread of
Ebola is what I'm talking about.
You know how it spreads in Africa.
Usually family prepare bodies for funeral
then they become infected. Bush meat
is another way it spreads.
An Ebola outbreak would be stopped fairly quickly
in the US based off our world class medical care
and our customs are nothing like west Africans.
Along with the care you discussed,
Zmapp seems to be the key.
Hopefully, the human trials will prove it.

Got a link to any reputable source suggesting this? All I've seen are that they initially thought the two had contracted malaria before their diagnosis of ebola.

Not sure that I would call them "knowledgeable folk" myself, but to each their own.
ETA: Thanks for the link. Hope your daughter is doing better.
