Dr. Kent Brantly, an American now fighting the deadly virus.Brantly, who is in isolation and expected to arrive in the U.S. next week, became infected with Ebola.Alan Jamison, a retired pediatrician, returned home to Morristown, Tenn., after he was evacuated from Liberia by the aid group he was volunteering for -- working at the same hospital as Dr. Kent Brantly, an American now fighting the deadly virus.

Medical Teams International, the group Jamison works for, said it pulled him out of Liberia for safety and security reasons. Jamison was working in the Ebola isolation unit at ELWA Hospital, near the Liberian capital Monrovia.
"He was very cognizant and careful with the hygiene precautions that he used," Jamison said. "I'm not sure how it occurred that he was exposed."

A second American has also contracted the Ebola virus in West Africa: Nancy Writebol, an aid group worker.

Two nurses canceled their vacation.
"They said, 'We have been training for this,'" Dr. Bruce Ribner, who heads the Emory University Hospital unit where the two Americans with Ebola will be treated, told CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta -- himself a neurosurgery professor at Emory. "'We are not going to miss this opportunity to care for this patient."

Suprisingly there have been different views expressed online and among U.S citizens of bringing patients of the deadly African Virus into United States for the first time

These are some of the comments by U.S citizens on twitter "we're being very foolish"

"Why willingly bring infected ebola victims to this country?" wrote one woman.

"Why purposely spread the infection?" They are the kindest remark made on social network on the idea of bringing and treating Ebola on U.S soil

Africa needs a better support from the United States and International community to help combat the further spread of the virus and save lives of those already infected by the virus

The sound of Ebola brings fear and hoplessness to many people in west Africa countries like Guinea, where it began, Liberia and Sierra Leone.As of July 23, the World Health Organization had confirmed more than 800 Ebola cases in the region, but suspects there have been many unreported infections and there may be more like 1,200 cases. Sierra Leone has been hardest hit with approximately 525 cases.

Ebola is a really serious infection, Dr Bruce Ribner head of Emory University Hospital Unit said that Ebola spreads much like HIV, Hepatitis B or C -- through the transmission of bodily fluids, not by simply being in the same room as someone infected.
It's not like someone is contagious the second they are infected. The virus doesn't spread until that person shows symptoms, which typically takes two to 21 days, according to the World Health Organization.

That is serious

Potential drug available


After reading your posting,
I realized how difficult it would be for the American Hospital to treat the dedicated physician who acquired this viral infection.

I would like to suggest how to treat this physician
by obtaining the necessary drug components without importing them
from oversea locations.

Is there any way you can contact whoever is caring for this physician,
so that I could assist in this matter?
