My hope is something like his plays out here... I want Datu to be OK!

A quick example
Michael etal clear out the tower. Michael naps by the door and then rescues Lizzy. Then he sleeps for 24 hours. As Saul says, there was no waking you Sarge...

Similarly, Datu sleeps after the arena. Might be nothing, but we got two weeks and I would rather party with my than mope around...

So, the contagion gets a jump on Datu and pushes on his K18 levels, but then his immune system fights back and fights the disease to a standstill.
I don't think Michael has been exposed yet, unless some blood got swallowed during the clearance of the tower.....?
