<i>The best way to control the current outbreak is with traditional measures: diagnosing patients, isolating them, tracing their contacts and testing them, and extending the process out in circles, until all exposed patients have been isolated.</i><p>I was wondering about the software they use to track this process, if any? Say, for example, you get the manifest for a plane where a passenger was infected. If you wanted to track infections from that point, which is unlikely but possible, that&#x27;s a lot of work. And if it spirals out from there?

<i>Geisbert notes that about half of Ebola patients survive without taking ZMapp.</i><p>What is the actual mortality rate? I have heard reports varying from 40% to 90%.

This is using antibodies, i.e. works on the principle of passive immunity.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_immunity" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Passive_immunity</a><p>By calling it a &quot;drug&quot;, and that its way of action &#x27;is unknown&#x27; etc., the article makes it sound a bit like they were talking about the engineering of a new chemical compound, when in fact the way of action seems straight-forward. The new work will probably just be in details of the production and perhaps embedding or some such of the antibodies.<p>Maybe my rejection stems from my native language (German) calling treatments like this &quot;passive Impfung&quot;, literally &quot;passive vaccination&quot;, while we seem to reserve the word &quot;Medikament&quot; (drug) for non-biologic actors.

I really hope someday computer simulations become so detailed and accurate that we don&#x27;t have to test on animals anymore.

Last I checked I thought we were more closely related to primates not monkeys--not sure if that&#x27;s of any significance.
