Well, that's good.

It appears (could be mistaken) that the only way people are being cured is through blood transfusions from people who have been previously cured.
Could the govt be bringing in infected people in order to cure them and increase the supply of "good blood" in the U.S.?

If there were a huge breakout in the U.S., there would obviously not be enough "good blood" to go around, but they may be able to stockpile enough for the elite.

It appears all over the news sites.
Here's one that speaks of both nurses and others receiving transfusions:

With no proven drugs to treat Ebola and experimental ones in short supply, the health authorities are planning to turn instead to a treatment that is walking around in the outbreak zone in West Africa.

That would be the blood of people who have been sickened by the Ebola virus but have since recovered. Their blood should contain antibodies that might help other patients fight off the infection.

The World Health Organization is making it a priority to try such convalescent blood or plasma, as it is called, and is talking with the affected countries about how to do it.

I just started to wonder, with that Kasi whatserface up in Maine refusing to abide by a quarantine, would a CCW be legally protected if they stopped the threat as she approached them? (I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but it does make you wonder...)

Excellent question, especially if they're projectile vomiting while they're approaching you.
