Spanish nurse's aide Romero improved overnight; Brit in Macedonia negative for Ebola [View all]

"And in Macedonia, tests showed that a British man who died displaying Ebola-like symptoms did not have the virus, officials said.

In Spain, attention remained focused on 44-year-old nurse Teresa Romero, whose condition "improved in the night. She is conscious and talks from time to time when she is in a good mood," a hospital source told AFP."

And for some serious controversy, their official government radio claims she was treated with Zmapp, shipped in from Belgium. The reports are unconfirmed; all other reports have consistently said there is none left and wouldn't be for some weeks. They also deny that she was intubated or in organ failure.

Maybe she got one of the other experimental drugs. She also was reportedly being treated with plasma from recovered patients.
