Ebola-infected Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol are coming home to America for best treatment |
Ebola-infected Dr. Kent Brantly has just landed in the United States today, the first time anyone infected with the deadly virus has been brought into the country. Nancy Writebol will be arriving in the next few days.
A specially equipped medical plane whisked Ebola-stricken Dr. Kent Brantly from Liberia to Georgia on Saturday, setting up the latest leg of a race to save the man who's now the first known Ebola patient on U.S. soil.
An ambulance rushed Brantly -- one of two Americans seriously sickened by Ebola last month while on the front lines of a major outbreak in West Africa -- from Dobbins Air Reserve Base to Atlanta's Emory University Hospital shortly after the plane landed late Saturday morning.
Video from Emory showed someone wearing a white, full-body protective suit helping a similarly clad person emerge from the ambulance and walk into the hospital early Saturday afternoon.
