Until recently, the time between exposure and symptoms has been said to be up to 21 days. Recently, there are some saying it could be up to 42 days. Once symptoms appear, the disease progresses quickly. Some speculate that those who survive do so because their own immune systems fought off the disease. Those people are encouraging people to take steps to build up their immune systems. Though this has not been scientifically proven, a healthy immune system can only help when confronted with any disease.
