An Ebola-stricken American doctor is being treated in Georgia since his return to the US, but he shouldn’t expect a get-well card from Donald Trump.
Kent Brantly’s condition is improving, according to Samaritan’s Purse, the aid group he worked for in Africa. He’s in an insolation unit at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after arriving Saturday.
Brantly, who was treating Ebola victims in Liberia, is the first Ebola patient to be brought to the US.
Trump launched a Twitter tirade amid news that a second American victim, Nancy Writebol, will arrive in the US on Tuesday.
“The US must immediately stop all flights from EBOLA-infected countries or the plague will start and spread inside our ‘borders.’ Act fast!” Trump tweeted Sunday. “People that go to faraway places to help out are great — but must suffer the consequences!”
