Ebola in the US

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.
