There is no known cure or prevention and it has killed 90% of those infected and it would take years to produce an effective vaccine it one was proven to work at this time.





I read that anAmerican health person recently infected was effectively treated with a blood transfusion from the American doctor who survived, but that doesn't seem like something that could easily be done.



It is frightening. But I read that it is not spread from person to person in the air but by contact with bodily fluids from someone infected.

If I wee one of those who flew on the plane with him I would be very nervous.
