With great media fanfare, an American doctor infected with the Ebola virus landed in the U.S. and was whisked by ambulance to Emory University in Atlanta, where he is being treated in a special isolation unit.
Video of his arrival shows him emerging from the rear doors, wearing a hazardous material suit and headgear. He gingerly walks into the facility, aided by another person also clad head-to-toe in protective clothing.
A plane outfitted with a sealed incubation unit landed late Saturday morning at Dobbins Air Force Base in Georgia. Dr. Kent Brantly, who had been treating Ebola victims in Liberia, was rushed to Emory attended by medical personnel in haz-mat gear. .
Television networks broadcast live helicopter footage of the white medical van traveling an Atlanta highway in footage that was eerily similar to the 1994 slow-speed chase of O.J. Simpson in a white Bronco on Southern California freeways.
Brantly is the first person carrying the deadly virus to be treated in the United States. That decision sparked widespread condemnation on social media sites, despite assurances from American medical experts that an outbreak in this country is highly unlikely.
Brantly's colleague, aid worker Nancy Writebol, is also infected and will be airlifted from Liberia just as soon as the specially equipped medical plane turns around and heads back to the West Africa country.
The plane is only equipped to carry one patient at a time.
Do you know what that is & why would they do that? They should of left that sh!t in Africa!
