There are also other types of Ebola drugs that are on the way to Norway. Avigan come to Norway during the day, while TKM-Ebola come to the country tomorrow.

Nothing, however, could well indicate that the Norwegian authorities have most scam ZMapp.

- Of those who have been ZMapp, the majority survived. There is also a person who has survived with TKM-Ebola, but the medication is only used on a few individuals, says Steinar Madsen.

- The Norway is assigned the last dose ZMapp is said to be lucky. There is no more doses in the world, and it takes a long time to produce, he said

The case of the Liberian in the US has been told there is no more Zmapp. This will be fuel to the fire that he is not getting equivalent treatment because he is black and Liberian.

I was wondering about that myself. However, it could be that they are reserving Zmapp for health care workers- whoever "they" are- I suppose the company who makes it decides.

Re: Norway - MSF worker with Ebola treated in Oslo

Apparently the Zmapp going to Norway is from Canada, not the US. So it could be the truth : no more Zmapp in the US.

The PBS program on Ebola this week showed how difficult it is to make even a few doses of Zmapp, so it's reasonable to expect that every several weeks there could be a few doses produced - I believe his 1st batch of plants produced 10 doses.
