re: I'm a little skeptical about this story
The way in which it was reported leaves open the interpretation that the disease was resistant initially, which would then mean that it had passed to the victims from another treated human. It could also mean that the girls' own viruses had, during incubation or progress, developed a resistance through mutation. Of course, human/human direct transferrance, or human/bird airborne transferrence, is just a mutation away as well.
