Ebola in the US

Specialties Disease

Published

Is anyone else slightly worried about the two patients who're being treated for Ebola in US? The infected American doctor arrived in Atlanta, GA a few days ago from West Africa. I hope he gets the medical care he really needs and deserves! I can't believe he was somehow infected, and I'm a little worried about the medical staff here... I know it's a lot safer here with specialized contamination equipment.

Although I wish they had sent medical equipment and supplies and treated them over THERE, at this point I am not as concerned about Ebola spreading from the two patients at Emory as I am about the NYC Patient that is hospitalized with ebloa symptoms after recently traveling to West Africa.
