The Infamous Ebola Virus may have entered the United States of America. A patient admitted in a New York City hospital with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms Yesterday, 4th August is being tested for Ebola.
The Patient was said to have returned from a West-African country where the diease may have surfaced(country unnamed). The patient is in isolation and Doctors are working earnestly to find out the cause of his symptoms. He is also being tested for Ebola and the test results are expected today or tomorrow. But according to the Chief Medical officer at Mount Sinai health system, Dr. Jeremy Boal, "Odds are this is not Ebola. It's much more likely that it's a much more common condition,"
This is a mere Speculations when the Result is out we will know more.
Meanwhile, the two American Missionaries Dr. Brantly and Nancy who were infected with the deadly Ebola Virus are said to be getting better. Sources say the duo were given an experimental drug that saved their lives. The experimental drug ZMAPP is developed by a biotech firm Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc(check the link) which is based in San Diego. The firm has been in existence since 2003 and have been working on a cure for a Ebola for a long time.
The True Stroy about the drug is that this drug have only been tested on infected monkey's who recovered 24hours after been injected with the drugs. Dr. Brantly and Nancy were the first humans the Biotech firm tested the drugs on. The test was done with the approval of both Patients knowing that the drugs may have killed them. Report says both Americans are doing fine after receiving the secret drug.
