I'm not buying into the current "ebola doom porn" scenario. I was a nurse. Everything about that hospital room is WRONG! She would have a constant saline solution drip; she would be hooked up to the vitals monitor behind her. She would not be wearing all that jewelry. She would have an IV port in her arm or hand or neck. She'd have a pulse ox on her finger, a Blood pressure cuff permanently on her arm, etc.

Perhaps she is actually doing great after the antibody plasma from the donor and wanted to look as normal as she could so she didn't make her family worry sick of she having a deadly infectious disease.
I remember that Mr. Duncan family were crying after seen Duncan in the hospital because he didn't look good at all

Duncan didn't 'look that good at all' because he was already on a respirator and dialysis - in other words, life support. He was dead already, they were just going through the motions of trying everything. The last stages of REAL Ebola, the face turns into a frozen mask because of hemorrhaging into the brain. When they do an autopsy on these patients, the internal organs look like they have been dead for DAYS, because they have been. We're talking internal liquification and putrefaction, several days before actual death occurs. Read the easily available descriptions in The Hot Zone.
I'm still wondering why the 'survivors' of this DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY'VE BEEN SICK AT ALL just days or short weeks later. That Dr. Kent Brantly was the picture of health the day he was released from isolation and going around giving everyone hugs and then on to the White House and a lecture tour. No bruises, even.
Really? Seriously?? Is this two separate diseases or what?
