With an already severely compromised immune system, and the huge variation of blood borne diseases, there is nothing much helpful from doing this in this way. The existence of any antibodies in the bought blood are not going to be helpful in the creation of the infected person's own antibodies. It is more sympathetic magic than anything curative.
As a vaccine, that is a different matter, but you are giving yourself a disease (or several) that is likely just much better avoided.
There is one paper which shows that in some cases the blood transfusions may actually help to survive: http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/179/Supplement_1/S18.longHowever, the method was tested only with 8 patients: "because of the small number of patients studied and the lack of control subjects, we cannot conclude that the neutralizing antibodies in transfused convalescent blood improves the outcome for EHF patients." I would speculate that this would very well be the result of "good luck" on the part of the people who received the blood transfusions. It is said that ~50% of people that are infected with ebola will survive the disease. With such a small sample of people it would not be unrealistic to say that all of these 8 people would be part of the "lucky" 50% that survive. I'm guessing that this study was not done with blood bought off the street. Buying and transfusing blood from the "black market" (without even a SR-like rating system)? That is desperation. I would say these people were essentially going "all in" with the blood transfusion. In a quite literal sense. This would be freaking hilarious if it weren't so sad. :/

I presume we all react the same, but imagine if it turns out to be true. As bad as it is, a little part of me hopes this is true.

I predict 300k deaths before the number of new cases starts to slow appreciably.

One unique and terrible feature of the epidemic is the fact that doctors, nurses, and hospital staff are getting infected and dying at an unprecedented rate. The WHO has reported, as of September 22, that 384 health-care workers have gotten the virus and 186 have died.

Ebola epidemic: Sierra Leone quarantines 2 MILLION people http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/25/ebola-epidemic-sierra-leone-quarantine-un-united-nationsSierra Leone’s government has quarantined more than a million people in an attempt to bring an end to the spread of the deadly Ebola virus. Areas in the east of the country on the border of Guinea have been under quarantine for months but travel is now restricted in three more areas where an estimated 1.5 million people live. Nearly a third of the country’s population across 14 districts is now under curfew. The move comes as world leaders meet to discuss the crisis at the United Nations, and days after a three-day nationwide lockdown ended.

Looks like they added a new Headquarters UN's Ebola virus HQ in Ghana opens UN mission tasked with figuring out where the greatest needs are and making sure aid gets there The UN mission to combat Ebola opened its headquarters on Monday in Ghana, where it will co-ordinate international aid to assist West Africa to combat the accelerating crisis. This outbreak has spiralled into the worst ever for Ebola, and the World Health Organization says it is has linked more than 3,000 deaths to the disease. Even that frightening figure is likely an underestimate of the true toll, said WHO. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea have been hit hardest. Senegal and Nigeria have also been touched, but have not reported a new case in weeks. In the face of desperate calls from governments and aid agencies on the ground, many promises of aid have poured in recently, and some of it — from health care workers to surgical gloves to protective suits for doctors and nurses — has begun to arrive. But some say the response is still too slow and haphazard. http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/un-s-ebola-virus-hq-in-ghana-opens-1.2781142Meh progressing slowly

That means 198 doctors and nurses can now work directly with the infected without protective gear, since they are now immune.

This is very scary, although it is only one case and the person infected was recently in an area that has been part of the outbreak, so they likely did not contract it in the US (and hopefully did not give it to anyone while traveling back here nor to anyone already here One unique and terrible feature of the epidemic is the fact that doctors, nurses, and hospital staff are getting infected and dying at an unprecedented rate. The WHO has reported, as of September 22, that 384 health-care workers have gotten the virus and 186 have died.

It is difficult for medical professionals to protect themselves 100% when dealing with people who are infected and 198 have been able to protect themselves enough so they did not contract the virus

How can the ebola comes back after decades dorment?
I guess it is a proof that there is another way of transmission other than from people to people ehen they are in their worse condition.
But no one knows what it could be.
So no one can know for sure wether it can spread for other parts of the world or not.

Once you get infected and beat it (i.e. don't die) your body has the anti-bodies for it, and you become immune. 384 workers got infected. 198 didn't die and are now immune.

There is apparently immunity from exposure and antibodies, it is not determined the length and effectiveness, but presumably it is pretty good. There are also a few different known strains (and other hemmoragics), they haven't verified cross-immunity yet, but they may also be immune to other strains (or not). Also reputedly negative blood types are somewhat less susceptible.

You know what's bullshit? This idiot travels back from Liberia on sept 19th and NOBODY quarantines him or checks him for the virus. He essentially ran around for 10 days spreading the virus before being admitted to the hospital. He even went into the doctors a few days earlier and they sent him home thinking he just had a cold. Now the shit is over here and likely to spread..... Source http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/09/30/cdc-confirms-first-case-ebola-in-us/No shit?!? Have you not read any of this thread? (Or at least 5-6 posts above?)

It is a cross species virus. Or so the latest research indicates. It may not kill other types of animals so, they can carry it much longer. Bats, monkeys, not certain but lots of possibilities. Some have thought that even house pets may be able to be carriers. If rats can carry it... very bad news for cities. Difficult to quarantine those.

Once you get infected and beat it (i.e. don't die) your body has the anti-bodies for it, and you become immune. Until it mutates... Anyone who goes to Liberia should stay there, or at least not be welcomed back to Dallas until after a few months in quarantine. Bleeding heart liberals who want to become bleeding-ass liberals are making the rest of us subsidize their irresponsible do-gooding BS.
