“Fly infected Africans to the USA for the best treatment available - but sentence our patriotic military to second class treatment.”

The Ebola-stricken aid worker arrived in Atlanta from West Africa on a specially equipped “air ambulance” Sept. 9. The patient was driven from the airport to Emory University Hospital, then whisked into a state-of-the-art isolation and treatment facility.
The hospital declined to release any further information, citing confidentiality policies. There was no mention of where or how this person had become infected, or who this person was working with in West Africa, or where the patient was from. The patient has never been identified publicly.
Emory also remained tight-lipped about how the patient was doing, declining for five weeks to provide any updates.

Hmm, a lot of secrecy these days. Wonder if this is the Dr. who can’t doctor.
The man at Emory is a an American doctor who was working for WHO in Sierra Leone. More recent articles have a statement from him that he had a very difficult illness, but that he is going to be OK and Ebola-free and would share more at a future time.
