Submission + - Antibody cocktail cures monkeys of Ebola (nature.com)
ananyo writes: "From the Nature story:
Monkeys infected with Ebola have been cured by a cocktail of three antibodies first administered 24 hours or more after exposure. The result raises hopes that a future treatment could improve the chances of humans surviving the disease caused by the deadly virus, which kills up to 90% of infected people and could potentially be used as a biological weapon. Most treatment regimes tested to date only improve chances of survival if administered within one hour of infection (abstract)."

My Grandma suggests the opposite. She has drank coffee just about every day of her adult life. She is in her eighties and has Alzheimer's. So the headline is not necessarily true.
