A second American suffering from Ebola
is expected to arrive in Atlanta on
Tuesday from Liberia, where she
contracted the deadly virus. Missionary Nancy Writebol will travel aboard an air ambulance equipped with
an isolation unit. It will land at Dobbins
Air Reserve Base, and from there she'll
be rushed to Atlanta's Emory University
Hospital about 20 miles away. Writebol will be the last of two
Americans stricken with the disease
while aiding Ebola victims in West
Africa. Ebola has killed more than 700
people in three nations: Guinea, Liberia
and Sierra Leone. Their evacuation to Atlanta marks the
first time anyone infected with the virus
has been known to get treatment in the
United States. Both patients will be treated at an
isolation unit where precautions are in
place to prevent it from spreading, unit
supervisor Dr. Bruce Ribner said. The first evacuee -- American Dr. Kent
Brantly -- was making progress since he
arrived in Atlanta from Liberia on
Saturday, a U.S. official said. "It's encouraging that he seems to be
improving," Thomas Frieden, director of
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, told CBS' "Face the Nation." "That is really important, and we are
hoping he will continue to improve." Brantly, 33, is the first known patient
with the deadly virus to be treated on
U.S. soil. He landed at Dobbins Air
Reserve Base in Georgia and was quickly
rushed to Atlanta's Emory University
Hospital. Phoenix Air says its highly specialized air
ambulance, equipped with an isolation
unit, departed Georgia for Liberia on
Sunday evening to pick up Writebol. The
flight is scheduled to land in Georgia on
Tuesday.
