Two American missionaries who contracted the Ebola virus while working to help the African victims of the disease are being brought to the United States.

Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol are being flown to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.  The two will be held in a very strictly controlled wing of the hospital inside a chamber with negative pressure keeping air inside the wing.

Both of the patients are said to be in grave but stable condition.

The patients are reportedly going to be transferred on a special plane chartered by the CDC that has isolation pods.  The move comes on the heels of an experimental treatment being sent to Liberia.  Dr. Brantley refused to take it and demanded it be given to Nancy Writebol.

The CDC issued a warning to travelers to avoid Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.

Samaritan’s Purse, SIM and the Peace Corps are all pulling their volunteers from those countries because of the uncontrolled outbreak of the virus.
