A second American who contracted Ebola while helping patients in West Africa was expected in Atlanta early Tuesday, while a New York hospital was testing a man with symptoms of the killer virus. The medical evacuation plane carrying missionary Nancy Writebol from Liberia to Dobbins Air Reserve Base is equipped with a special containment unit, her charity SIM said. It brought Kent Brantly of Samaritan's Purse, who had worked on a joint team with Writebol, to Emory University Hospital on Saturday. After the plane lands, Writebol will be transported to Emory University Hospital by ambulance and placed in a special isolation unit set up in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention where Brantly is also receiving treatment.
